I have been to the dentist clinic north offices in the west branch and they pulled the wrong tooth and they are always rude! My 13 year old has said the same about dental clinics north and a clinic in Harrison! A wonder I never show up to the appointments on time or at all! Because I don't like conflict a rude people! That's being said Shortt Dental Clinic and staff were exceptionally kind and respectful to myself and my son! I wish I could be seen in their office! I highly recommend this clinic and staff!

Extremely professional staff and clean environment. I had a tooth that was bothering me and needed a root canal. Inside of two appointments I had a crown and everything feels great. Thanks to Bill and Courtney for taking care of me. Awesome people and an awesome dental office.

Saw the hygienist today for X-rays and cleaning. Dental X-rays are not my favorite procedure but the process went quickly and comfortably. Glad to hear two new dentists will be joining the practice this summer.
