"Had a visit with Dr. Kaur and Mailine today. They are very professional and did a good job on my fillings and cleaning. Not only are they amazing at what they do, but they're also beautiful people inside and out! I really appreciate the care they take with my teeth." They are great of what they do!❤️

My special need client were there. This is not the first time. But all the time, we been waiting for so long. His appointment is 4:30 but its been almost 5 and they said there are still 4 people ahead of him. He is a special need and can't wait that long hours. They said they are short stuff but why get a lot of people they can't handle. Anyway, we asked them that we will just go home. We went home without a service.

I have been taking my parents to this office for years. The staff provide really compassionate care. We are grateful that they put patients first :) Any questions on scheduling conflicts should be sent to and answered by the corporate office.
