Dr. Nouri, and all his staff are very professional. So nice to feel comfortable when everyone is so friendly. Thank you for being my dentist. I saw you a few days ago, and I want to thank you for helping me with my new smile. For 5 years I was very unhappy with the way the last dentist there made my teeth look. Now, I look and feel better. Thank you

Genuinely the worst service I’ve ever received. They missed that I had gingivitis so when I went to a different dentist they were able to get me a deep cleaning. Also whenever I call the front desk always leaves me on hold for hours even when I say I’m in pain.
