I have never been more pleased with a dental provider EVER!! Dr. Butts and his team of awesomeness was just what I needed for my daughters care. They were engaging from the very first phone call. The professionalism, kindness, thoroughness, and respectfulness were a few of the characteristics that got my attention and made me more than confident that I made the right choice in visiting their office. I never felt rushed or uninformed. Thank you for the beautiful experience. It is well worth the 1 hour drive to get to your office.

I love this dentist office! The staff is friendly and very caring. They also make my kids feel comfortable during each visit. Although they are out of our network, the service is well worth it.

I am like most people and don't like to go to the dentist, but Dr. David Butts is the best. I have had more dental work this past year then I would have liked, but he and his staff have made each visit pleasant. I have no dental insurance, so his in house dental plan has been a great help. Thanks
