My wife and I switched over to this office due to insurance coverage, we picked it basically on reviews as well as convenient locations for us. My crown which was put on by my previous dentist (and had fallen off before) came off on the Thursday before Labor day I didn't want to wait over the long weekend to have it put back on so I hoped for the best and gave them a call Friday morning, they got me right in, cemented it back on and were very nice while accommodating me and my concerns. This was a big deal to me as I was recovering from unrelated surgery and didn't need the added stress! Thank You all very much, I highly recommend this practice on S Main St in Manchester!
