I’m sorry to say I don’t have anything good to say about this dental office. I went in and all they did was take a ton of x-rays and then poke around on my teeth and tell me to come back 10 days later for a cleaning. They have no dental hygienist on this property and the appointments seem to only be available on Mondays. I would not recommend this business. Very disappointing. I have never been to a dental appointment and not had my cleaning done on the same day. I can understand scheduling future appointments requiring more detailed treatments, but not for a basic cleaning.
