Dr. Griffin and her team are wonderful! I used to have intense jaw pain, taking Tylenol all the time. Now that Dr Griffins team got me setup with a mouth guard, I am no longer in pain. I never wait more than 5 minutes and today, I was in and out for a cleaning in 20 minutes. They're really great with my five year old, too. 100% recommend.

I had my first appoint at Dr Tara Griffin's office today. I could not find my car keys anywhere! We finally found them in my husbands truck where they had fallen out of my purse. They told me to come on in anyway:). I was almost 30 minutes late. They were as sweet as could be, got me in and worked with breaking my visit into two appointments and worked me in for the cleaning next week. I can not say enough about how happy I am with my decision to try this office. Staff was amazing!

By far the best dental experience I've ever had! From the ease of making the appointment, filing my insurance, etc. with the kind, professional Heather, to the hygienist, Lisa, who was absolutely wonderful, and took so much time with me. Dr. Griffin is an excellent quality dentist.

I highly recommend Tara Griffin and all of her staff to everyone! For someone who is anxious and fears judgement when going to the dentist, my experience has been the complete opposite. They've educated me throughout any treatment/cleaning and ensure I am comfortable at all times. I appreciate them greatly!
