I just moved to Houston and this will be my dentist home! Everyone I encountered was so sweet! The receptionist and manager and the front desk were super helpful and detailed about services, insurance and payment. Marisol, who took my x-rays and polished my teeth, was extremely personable. Dr. Khan was knowledgeable and listened to my concerns to give me the best service! Can’t wait to see these ladies again in six months.

I haven’t been to a dentist in years, so I was a little anxious coming in. But the service was wonderful from the moment I walked in! All of the staff is kind and welcoming. I actually had a 10am appointment that I thought was for 11am, and they were able to accommodate me. I will absolutely be back (and have even booked my next appointment). 🥹🥹 10/10, definitely recommend!!!

I felt so comfortable with Dr. Carrizales and her staff. She gave me honest feedback and didn’t try to get me on some crazy plan I didn’t need. The place is so easy to get to and clean. I have already scheduled my next cleaning.
