Like most people, I'm not a huge fan of going to the dentist and have often times put it off over the years. I had a great experience my first time into Dr. McDevitt's office. Everyone is extremely nice and helps to make you feel relaxed and welcome. I'm not even nervous for my follow-up appointments now which is a nice feeling.

I enjoy coming to Dr. McDevitt office. If it wasn't for change in my dental plan I would have continued to come to his office. Staff is always friendly and providing quality service. Once, I upgrade my dental plan I will be coming back.

I highly recommend Shawn McDevitt. We came in with an dental emergency and they were able to see us within in 15mins. Provide and complete diagnosis and come up with and action plan all under an hour. They immediately set to work an helping us and creating follow up appointments. I will be referring any and all friends and aquantinces to this office. The dental assistants were helpful and took all of my concerns seriously. I cannot say enough how thankful and appreciate I am of all the staff and the work they do. If you feel unsatisfied with your current dentist please consider changing offices.
