My 5 year old child got infection after he had cleaning done at this office. I called them and told them about his symptoms such as fever, shivering, headache and swollen cheek and asked a doctor to call me back. What upsets me the most that they did not even care. None of the doctors called to ask how my son was doing.They asked a receptionist to call me to schedule appointment for next week instead of seeing him right away. We had to go to urgent care to get antibiotics. Please be aware and stay clear of this place!

Very nice and thorough. Comfortable atmosphere. Been three times now. Couldn't be more kind and professional. I've always been terrified of the dentist and this has been quite the opposite experience!

I have a severe phobia of Dentist, so much so, that I put off going to the dentist for several years. I must say, everyone was so kind and professional. I knew it wasn't going to be pretty, but my hygienist Mela was awesome!! Dentist was great and the front desk.
