STUCK WITH $1000 BILL!!! Not only does it feel like they make recommendations to bill your insurance the maximum amount, my entire family got their recommended treatment under the pretense that insurance should cover most of the cost (without verifying) then stuck our family with a $1000 dollar bill. Proceed with caution and make sure their accept your insurance prior to accepting any treatment!!!!

The office was super nice, the staff was kind and caring, and they took the time to explain everything being done to make sure I was comfortable with everything. A great experience! I'm so glad to have found Tree of Life.

Tree of Life Dental is everything it's advertised. Dr. Dan is kind, compassionate and won't sell you anything you don't need. He is very professional and reasonable. Glad I made the switch! Highly recommend!
