Jasmyn the dental hygienist was really nice and we chatted the entire way while she was cleaning my teeth 😂. As well as her being so professional and caring, she went step by step on what she was doing and explained greatly on a part I was confused on. I’ve been coming here for a while now and that was a first. I hope I have her again next time! Katie at the desk was so friendly and had a smile on her face the second my family and I walked in. Katie was super helpful with scheduling our next year appointments as well as just chatting it up with my mother. Overall this was a great and smooth sailing visit!
