Unbelievable team and doctor - my kids are young and skiddish yet they loved their trip to the dentist!! Thank you so much to this wonderful team!!!!
Love love love Kennedy dental! The team is so amazing! Dr Nancy is my favorite!
The initial dental assistant was very rude and passive aggressive and we aren't sure why. When the dentist came in she was very nice and so was her dental assistant but the first one was just rude.
All I can say, is that the team that worked on Josiah was awesome! Very professional, kind and caring. ☺️
This office is always so helpful, patient with my son. He always arrives to the office happy and leaves happy.
