I personally really enjoy having TLC as my dentistry professionals. I don't know there's just something about the atmosphere. The office is clean, the doctors are very professional, employees are great always a fun time. I would give this Dentist Office a 10 and definitely recommend you just go there for a consultation if you're having pain issues or just want to improve your smile you'll be very satisfied with the work they do.

I'm someone, like many, that's terrified of going to the dentist. I've had bad experiences and it's hard to let those feelings go. Here at TLC, they made me forget them! I can't tell you how relived I was after the visit. Gave me confidence again. And after cleaning my teeth with Mallory, I actually enjoyed the visit. Never thought I would say those words! I enjoyed getting my teeth cleaned! . Thank you TLC, from the front office to the back rooms, y'all are the best. Now they see my entire family.

It's been about a year since they changed owners, I had very negative experience at another dentist until I found TLC. It's a husband wife Team, I see the female dentist Mrs. Marigold so far so good. I had a negative interaction with a male dentist helping out, not her husband but someone who was covering. I would not reccomend him, if this review was based on his service it would be a "1". He reminded me of the previous office more interested in selling you a service you don't need. Just saw my dentist again Mrs. Marigold and she regained my trust. As a patient we need to have service providers we can trust, so far so good.

Great experience. From beginning to end. Dr Reyes, Dr. Madrigal and hygenist Arie and office staff are great. My fears of teeth cleaning have been laid to rest. Recently had a crown replaced and it was not bad at all. I have a 3month old baby and have brough him in a couple of times, the staff is super accomodating and welcoming to my little one. I have been coming here for a couple years now!. TLC Dental definetly gives TLC

My kids and I have been patients at TLC dental for years. However, we loved and miss Dr. Cutler, the husband/wife team of Drs. Madrigal and Reyes has been seamless. Dr. Reyes especially has gone above and beyond with his excellent care and customer service. My kids and I also appreciate our huge that, Ari who is efficient, kind, calm, attentive, and very personable. Angie and the front office team are also helpful, and friendly. We're glad to be long time clients and highly recommend the TLC team.

Came in on an emergency visit with an abscessed tooth and in a lot of pain. I needed the tooth removed but it was dangerous to remove with how bad the infection was. They referred me to a place where I could get it taken care of that day and I am doing better now. Everyone was friendly and showed genuine concern, great experience.

TLC is a "good energy" practice; everyone I've met here so far has been competent, pleasant and kind. Upbeat doctors and hygienists who are familiar with the latest technology and obviously care about their patients have made this the best possible dental experience for me. They are fun to be around too! After seven plus years of being a TLC patient, I can highly recommend them with confidence and a nice healthy smile

I had a dental exam at TLC dental this morning and I had a really good experience. The staff and the doctor were so friendly and caring. My fragment plan was explained to me well and I feel like I have a clear plan to get my oral health on track. The office is also beautiful and professional.
