Whitney was amazing and helped me all the way through the process! She responded quickly, was very friendly and professional and went out of her way to get me seen asap when I had a dental emergency. Everyone was professional and the place was cleanly and well kept. Highly recommend

This was my first appointment where I was a little disappointed. I’ve had such great experiences in the past. The doctor spent five seconds with me. I didn’t feel the hygienist really explained why I needed a deep cleaning and maybe give me the benefit versus not having it. She did lots of X-rays and then another hygienists poked in my mouth and rattled numbers to someone else. I had to ask what they were doing. I feel she should have explained more why I needed a deep clean. She just said you need a deep clean and then took me to the receptionist. The receptionist was very nice.

So I went to this place out of convenience and location to my home they were closer than my other dentist you could really see a difference in quality when it came to care there people do care and they try but my other place through the same insurance only quoted me $1,200 for the bridges I made it sound very promising that I would have my smile fixed I declined going through them to go through Genesis and I went to Genesis today and they were not as good I feel so I will be going back to the place that's an hour and a half away from my home for better quality Care once they did the same exact thing x-rays gave me a treatment plan they made me sound like doing the same exact thing that sounded promising at the other place was kind of if this is what she wanted to do and they wanted to charge me $1,500 more if not more than that just to do the same exact thing so I don't understand when billing the same exact insurance how you charge more money but my experience was not the best there you can tell that they care and they try but when it comes to quality and doing what's best they can't really reach that Target staff is awesome the know-how isn't there neither is the quality of care
