Great dentist! They are super friendly and I had basically no wait time. They were very thorough in explaining what I needed done, quick in confirming what my insurance did and did not cover and they were transparent with the cost before they did anything. They gave their recommendation and weren’t pushy when I didn’t opt for everything they suggested.

I had a wonderful experience at this dental office. Everyone was kind, professional, and truly took the time to work with me and make me feel comfortable. The dentists were knowledgeable, helpful, and explained everything clearly throughout the process. A special thank you to Danny, who was incredibly helpful and welcoming. His kindness and support made the experience even better. I highly recommend this office to anyone looking for a caring and patient-focused dental team.

Update: I just want to make an update to my previous review. I can tell that this dentist office cares very much about their customer service and does a great job at reaching out when their patients don’t have the best first experience. Although my first experience wasn’t the best, I will definitely be returning due to their great customer service. Look forward to my next visit.
