Came in for back to back deep cleanings. Emmy(?) and Bre were very patient and kind. They navigated me through the process and kept me up to speed with what they were doing. The whole team was friendly and very easy to work with.

Bree did an excellent job as my dental hygienist. She was very professional and explained every aspect of what she was doing. She had a great attitude and personality to match.

Just like many people, I am definitely afraid of dentists. It stems from a bad childhood experience. But today's visit set my mind at ease. Dr sender and the nurse made me feel very comfortable. That means my next visit won't be so anxious.
