I had a fantastic experience here! From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel welcome. The hygienist was incredibly sweet and made sure I was comfortable throughout the entire cleaning. When it came time for the exam, the doctor was amazing—they were so thorough and took the time to explain everything clearly. It’s rare to find a team that is both this professional and this kind. I highly recommend them!

We had the best first visit experience I’ve ever had at a dental office. The staff were so kind and welcoming. I brought my daughter with, who is very hesitant about these appointments, and they made her feel so comfortable and she is actually excited to go back. Couldn’t say better things about Dr. Alex Althoff and his staff!

I brought my teenage son here as a transfer from a pediatric dentist and we couldn’t be happier with the experience and the care provided by the hygienist and Dr. Althoff. They were both friendly and so easy to talk to. I appreciated that I wasn’t pressured into services that aren’t needed. I’ll be switching my whole family to Dr. Althoff. Thanks for making us feel so comfortable.

The new to me hygienist, Aileen, has a gentle touch with cleaning my teeth and did a thorough cleaning. Best and least stressful teeth cleaning I have had in a long time! Dr DeBates is always wonderful with checking my teeth and love his sense of humor and great personality.
