Very thankful for the great care I received! The staff and Dr Bailey and Dr. Wirth always give me the best attention. I'm so grateful for everyone at Optimal Dental. My teeth are a difficult case. I've had a lot of dental work over the past 30 years. Drs. Ganser and Bailey and Wirth have always been there for me.

Always an excellent dental experience at Optimal! I had a new-to-me, hygenist this time for cleaning/exam. Lauren was great! And Dr Bailey is somehow, always at the top of his game! Front office staff were excellent as well! 💯!!

11/10! Front desk rockstar Michelle deserves major kudos for her kindness and promptness getting me scheduled to be seen by one of the dentists, as I am currently experiencing some intense dental issues (Thank you, Michelle!). My first appointment was a home run. The dental assistant (I apologize— I forgot her name) was incredibly attentive, kind, and showed a lot of compassion. Enter Dr. Wirth, and wow, what a great first impression! He was all smiles, shook my hand, and honestly, genuinely happy to meet me. The conversation was productive and the exam, thorough. Right now I have a lot going on, and Dr. Wirth did not shy away from it all. He is invested in my well-being, and I look forward to our doctor-patient relationship as we tackle and resolve my issues. Thank you Dr. Wirth, Staff, and Michelle for making my first visit a positive experience! Your clinic is an 11/10!
