I have to say that I was VERY VERY happy with the service, and care. Everyone in the office treated me with kindness, care and professionalism. I am very afraid of the dentist chair. The doctor made me feel very comfortable. I need two root canals and a wisdom tooth pulled, so I need serious work. They gave me a good price. Not one of the other three dentist that I went to offered me any hope with…
Brian K.
from setting up my first appointment on the phone. To my first appointment at the clinic.

They took xrays and explained to me throughly the treatment plan and my options. Honestly speaking it couldn’t have went any smoother . Above excellent!
