I had my first appointment at Acre Wood Dental in Bellmead today. I had been going to the same dentist for 12 years before moving to this area, and for the past two years I’ve been making the trip back to Cedar Park because I hadn’t found a local dentist I felt comfortable switching to. I finally decided it was time to find someone closer to home and chose Acre Wood Dental based on their excellent reviews. I’m so glad I did! To say I have dental anxiety is an understatement. Dr. Mark, Tabby, and my hygienist Sarah were absolutely wonderful. They went out of their way to make me feel comfortable, but what stood out most was their genuine understanding of dental anxiety and their kindness throughout the entire visit. Sarah was incredibly gentle, thorough, and reassuring. Dr. Mark was friendly, caring, and even complimented the dental work I’ve had done over the years, which was thoughtful and appreciated since it has been a significant investment. This was a great experience from start to finish, and for the first time since moving here, I feel like I’ve found my local dentist. I highly recommend Acre Wood Dental to anyone looking for a compassionate and professional dental team.
