My husband took my son who has autism with a visit and he managed to get through the appointment great! I was truly worried he would've needed sedation but that was not the case. We are very thankful for y'all!

From front office, to the dental hygienists, to Dr. Wilkerson - the whole experience was phenomenal. Excellent communication, love the set up to get on the list for cancelations (so easy, you receive a text and can claim any newly available appt with a simple reply), and of course the care was all we could ask for. Gentle, patient, and quick ; they got our 2 year Olds cavities repaired in no time and with zero tears. Thankful for their services and highly recommend!
