Nothing short of an overall pleasant experience each visit. I was apprehensive leaving my dentist when our family PCS'd here but my visits with Dr. Susan King have settled those fears. She's professional, very pleasant and very thorough. I never feel as if she's just rushing through appointments. And her staff have always been just as professional yet friendly. Love the new location too.

I have been going here for about a year and have needed quite a bit of work done. Susan and her staff have been professional, non-judgmental, and take the time to get to know you as a person. They do a great job of explaining the work they do in detail and make sure you are comfortable. Today Susan and Mariah did an expert job on a complicated procedure I needed and it didn't hurt a bit

Dishonest. Unresponsive. Rude staff. Dr King and her daughter are good dentists but there are dentists who are just as skilled with good staff. Go somewhere else.

This is a wonderful dental office! I saw Dr. Brown today and she was friendly, compassionate, and clearly very knowledgeable. Her assistant Daniel was also fantastic and just genuinely kind. Let's face facts: nobody wants to have dental work done (but it is a fact of life to maintain your oral and overall health) and this practice makes the whole experience smooth and painless. Thank you to all the staff at Dr. King's office, especially Dr. Brown!
