I don’t give perfect ratings for obvious reasons but this office is outstanding for patient care. If you have an issue it will be taken care of swiftly usually by the next day (personal experience). The doctors and staff are very friendly and make your visit as comfortable as possible. I have been a patient for over 35 years. I have seen the same faces for many of those years. A personal favorite staff member told me she’s been there for 34 years. This tells me the practice has little turn over and therefore a stable and happy workplace. This reflects towards the hospitality and care shown to the patients.
I chipped some lower front teeth (wear your nightguards even during naps people!) and Dr. Young and Sarah fit me right into their schedule and did an excellent job restoring my teeth. They look like nothing happened to them! I'm so thankful for this team of people!
I used to need sedation for cleaning because of sensitive teeth. My tech here was so skilled that not only did I no longer needed sedation, it genuinely did not hurt. I and my loved ones have received truly wonderful care. And Dr. Spangler—both father and son—are literally the nicest people you will ever meet. You don't know this until you know. Go here. Period.
Love Meredith as a hygienist… she is kind, personable and very knowledgeable and does an excellent job! Dr. Leal is just the best! The ladies at the front are always so kind and helpful! Best dentist office in town!
I am a new patient of Dr. Hudson Spangler, as I recently moved from Arizona. He is friendly and thorough, and encouraged me to lighten my teeth that were darker because of an antibiotic taken as a child. It is a reasonably priced procedure which has brightened my smile. His dental hygienist cleaned my teeth and did a wonderful job.
