This place is highly professional and clean. I was referred here by a dental hygienist, which already says a lot. My upper right wisdom tooth was unfortunately decaying (gross, I know). They did an xray, and extracted it on the same day. Marie the dental nurse (I think that was her name?), Dr. Devadiga, and Dr. G were awesome. My tooth had bulbous roots that made the extraction quite difficult. They did a fantastic job. They will definitely be my go-to dentist from now on. 10/10, highly recommend!

I’ve always had a great experience with Brookside Dental Care. I’ve been going to them for several years at this point. They are so thorough and ask several questions to give the specific care a patient needs. I would highly recommend them to anyone. Scheduling can be more difficult, but because they are so good, they have many time slots filled up year around. A good problem to have.

I have now had several appointments with the team at Brookside dental. A very positive and professional experience that starts with the first contact with the administrative team and is continued by a group of highly skilled professionals working with state of the Art tools and cutting edge technology.. Actually, looking forward to my next visit to the dentist. I Highly recommend Brookside dental.
