Kandice is an excellent hygienist. She is genital but thorough. Dr. Shepherd said I was doing great when he came in to check her work and mine I suppose. I would like to thank them for taking care of us.

they were able to see me on very short notice. evaluation was prompt and thorough. The dental assistant was professional and knowledgeable. The doctor was able to make a diagnosis and recommended a course of treatment with a scheduled follow up. He explained the causation and options . I have been a patient for 17 years and have never had a problem.
