“

I’m incredibly frustrated with my experience here. I had an appointment set up here for at least three months that I moved other obligations around for. The night before my appointment at 4:59 PM I get an automated text saying my appointment has been canceled due to an emergency dental situation. I then tried to call to see if we can reschedule, but the office closed at 5pm 1 minute after I got that text. I left a voicemail asking to be called back to reschedule and it is now two weeks later and I still have not heard back. I called the next day and no one answered the phone. I tried calling the day after that two or three different times and still no one answered. This experience was deeply unprofessional, and I am really disappointed

I have been here 2 times now and received excellent care from Dr. Calantog. He’s very friendly and personable, while still being professional. He has helpful suggestions and tips for taking better care of my teeth. He explains the care plan in a manner in which is easy to follow and understand. He is an exceptional doctor and I’m grateful for the opportunity to have him and the staff take great care of me.

We love Dr. Calantog. Both my wife and I are patients, and now our little guy is too. Can't recommend him enough. He's kind, smart, patient, and great at explaining things. The staff is also very nice and very good, and did I mention the gorgeous view?

My very first dental appointment at this office went amazingly well. I had my X-rays done which were fast and painless. I had a gentle teeth cleaning. Everyone was professional and the office spaces were very clean. I can’t wait for my next appointment.
