Every single person at University Dental Group was welcoming and kind. My hygienist was thoughtful and gentle, and made sure I felt comfortable the entire time. I am typically anxious about going to the dentist, but this experience was completely different. Dr. Patrick radiates positivity. In my 40 years, I have never left a dentist appointment feeling happier than when I walked in, but I did today. Truly amazing people and an incredible practice.

I had an amazing experience! WAY WAY WAY BETTER than my old dentist office. The staff were amazing and I left without my teeth hurting from all the scraping that my old dentist office use to do. They were gentle and had amazing equipment that did the job. I would 1000000% recommend switching to this dentist office.
