My dentist retired during the pandemic so I was forced to find a new one! I found this place on Yelp and Google. I have never regretted it! They are always so professional. Down to the reminders, the new technology they use, customer service and the treatment care makes me love this place. When you arrive to your appointment, you are welcomed by name and people are waiting for you. It's down to the details, they are all over it. Yes, they are a title pricey but well worth it in my book!

I am giving the team at Dr. Howard's a (5) star rating which is much improved since my last rating. I want to acknowledge my dental hygienist Brittany for her outstanding professionalism, care, and kindness during my cleaning. While most people are not thrilled to go to the dentist this team made the process as painless as possible. From the front desk, to scheduling, to the actual service provided I strongly recommend Dr.'s Howard. My only criticism is a very small one, I personally do not think it necessary to send multiple texts and emails to confirm the appointment but I understand why due to people flaking on their appointments but for me if I say I will be be there I will be there or give you the courtesy of a call. Thank you again for turning a previous negative experience into an outstanding positive one.

This is a modern, high tech office with a human touch. It's a combination of the very latest in equipment and an extremely competent, concerned, empathetic staff. It starts with the front office staff, which is very friendly and welcoming. It continues through the hygienist to the dentists, related extremely well and professionally to me. No question is too big or small; they are happy to answer anything related to dental issues.

This is an outstanding Dental Office. I had a cleaning done earlier this week with Brittany and she does a fantastic job as always. My family and I have been coming here for 6 years. We've had bonding, crowns, and hygiene visits that are always A1! The doctors show true care for your concerns and dental health. Highly recommended.

According to my mother, Dr. Alan Howard didn't even look inside her mouth and assumed her dentures are the problem. We had high hopes that this office would be able to do what others hadn't and help our mother with lingering miserable pain in her tongue, lips and gums. Instead, Mr. Howard basically said there is nothing that could be done practically, and that she would just have to adjust how she eats. Something she has been doing for the past 10 years. What a waste of time.
