    Was able to fill out all the information ahead of time so there wasn't a long period of waiting. Dr. Carter did a great job dealing with my dentist anxiety.

    I hadn't been to the dentist in a long while. Everyone at the office was very friendly and understanding. I was happy I was directed to this office and will definitely keep Colleen as my dentist going forward.

    My first visit with Dr. Carter was a pleasant & easy experience. The staff was friendly, the facility was clean, and the care was great. I’m excited to have found a dentist in my new city.

    My hygienist, Molly was so nice and lovely to talk to! Also taught me a great deal how to brush my teeth better and how to use a floss properly! Dr Carter was very up front and knowledgeable. Glad I found them and was able to get an appointment!

    The office wasn’t super nice or modern looking like other offices I have been to but you can tell they know what they are doing and have been around for a while which is what really matters with a dentist.

    Loved the care and information that Dr. Collen Carter and her team offered! They were amazing and gave me some great advice- And as someone who is new to the area (and only sometimes flosses) I felt very comfortable and please with my service. I will be seeing them again next year!

    I hadn't been to the dentist in a long time, and was pretty nervous to go. Colleen and her staff made me feel very comfortable and welcome. They made sure to address all the dental concerns that I noted on my paperwork, gave great advice, and made me feel valued as a patient. Definitely recommend!

    The dental hygienist was very friendly, experienced, and knowledgeable. Unlike some dentist experiences, they were not judgemental nor excessively harsh when cleaning my teeth. The doctor was friendly and matter of fact, which I appreciated.

    What I dread most about going to the dentist was made very tolerable and made my anxiety about going almost diminish. The hygienist was very personable & made me comfortable right away. She went through each step with me and I never had to guess what was coming next.

    Amy was amazing! She made me feel so comfortable and never made me feel guilty like other dental hygienists have. She explained everything she was doing before and after she did it so there were no questions left unanswered. Dr. Carter was equally as pleasant! I usually hate going to the dentist but this experience has eliminated a lot of my anxiety.

    Dr. Carter and her team have been lovely. I’ve been anxious about the state of my dental health for a while, and after years of punting a trip to the dentist, I finally decided to go. As expected, my teeth need a lot of work, which Dr. Carter communicated in a way that was clear and easy to understand. She laid out a game plan to get me back on track, and the gal in reception, Tiffany, has been fabulous about walking me through insurance and scheduling.
