I HATE going to the dentist due to a few reasons, but I went in this morning and staff was phenomenal! Accommodated my needs when I voiced them, weren’t patronizing but still were direct when informing me of a cavity and didn’t make me feel bad about it like in the past. 100% recommend this place for new patients
Everyone was so welcoming and kind as I brought my crying 4 year old & 2 year old in as a new patients. From other patients and the office staff taking the time to talk to my sons to calm him down and give them a toy to distract him while we waited. To the Hygienist & Dentist who took there time to make sure both my boys were comfortable and safe by taking the time to share the tools, next steps, time and space to get situated. Back to the office staff that were so excited to see my son’s teeth how white they were and gave high fives. We are so grateful to have found this office and group of amazing kind hearted people. Thank you for welcoming us to your group. I will be highly recommending you to other families and friends.
Edie is great very informative, gentle, n professional. From the time you walk in the door you are made to feel comfortable n relaxed. The whole office is very friendly. Dr K. is professional and if you need further dental work he tells you in detail what to expect n most pain free. Very great office
Focused and yet personable professionals. As a newer patient due to my prior dentist retiring, I was a little hesitant to switch. Very glad I selected Dr. K and his awesome staff.
Tracy has been my hygienist for years & I enjoy talking to her & how calm she makes me feel. She also does a great job cleaning my teeth!
