My dentist and hygienists at DHA - University are the best! Caring, great with information, responsive to requests, and overall super people who have taken great care of my teeth for years.
I had my first appointment as a new patient today and had a wonderful experience. The front office staff were friendly and helpful with questions I had. My dental hygienist was so thorough in answering all my questions and concerns. I hadn't been to the dentist in a few years and was a little nervous and everyone was so welcoming I left feeling at ease. I saw Dr. Sands and he was great! Very personable and took the time to answer all my questions. I'm very happy I scheduled an appointment here
Always a pleasant experience to go here. Front office staff very nice, dental hygienist superb and very experienced and Dr Brumm always friendly and well intentioned
I had a wonderful experience at Dental Health Associates University Clinic. The staff were professional, welcoming, and genuinely caring from the moment I walked in. Everything was explained clearly, and I felt comfortable and well taken care of throughout my visit. I truly appreciate the kindness and excellent service I received. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a great dental office
The dental hygienist was on time, personable and professional. She asked me questions about my teeth and my dental care, and answered my questions also. She examined my teeth and gums, and gave me a thorough cleaning. Dr. Brohm greeted me warmly, worked well with the hygienist, and examined my teeth and gums also. I am very pleased with the treatment I received.
