This was my first visit and the most comprehensive oral exam I have ever had. They left no stone unturned in getting a good idea of not just what my dental needs may be, but getting to know me as a person. Dr. Lefty and her staff are not just my new oral care team but my new oral care specialists!

I am always pleased with the care that I receive at Dr. Lefty's office. Alissa is efficient and personable. If I had a suggestion it would be to add some kind of sound buffer in the waiting room. It easily gets quite noisy.

I love this practice! The staff are all very friendly, and very professional! The office itself is spotlessly clean, which shows a degree of caring that is also in full measure of how their patients are treated.
