Dr. Jon Klineman and his staff were friendly, efficient and welcoming. I was able to get a same day appt for an unexpected dental issue. Dr. Jon and his tech were patient and listened carefully to my complaints. Dr. Jon explained things thoroughly, answered all my questions and provided me with options and a plan of care. I felt cared for and valued not just as a patient, but as a human being. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your expertise, kindness and compassion.

Cleaning was fine. Hygienists is personal and did a nice job. Dentist on the other hand was totally bad. I couldn't tell you what her name was she walked in talkedso fast I couldn't tell you what her name was. She spent 3 minutes with me. Checked my neck. Hit my implants and asked me if I had any issues. Told me to bit down and left. Really??? I never got that kind of treatment from Dr. LaSalvia I will be finding a new dentist. Not interested in this type of practice Absent owner only concerned with the bottom line. See ya. Dr. LaSalvia you will be missed. Enjoy retirement. Don't think you are replaceable.
