My family and I have been patients of Dr.Flath for years now and we’ve been so pleased at the care we’ve received from both him and his wonderful staff. He’s been there for emergencies and regular maintenance. He and his staff are some of the best at what they do. I highly recommend.

I needed an emergency visit due to losing a crown while I was out of town over the holidays. Dr Flath’s excellent staff worked me in to their busy schedule, reseated my crown & I was in my way in a half hour. My experience was unsurprisingly stress-free, as always.
