    Very good experience and professional. I like the service they provided me. I will definitely come back. I wish they would inform patients what is covered or not by your insurance, and what is optional before proceeding to what is protocol/routine for them. That would be super helpful for some patients who would not need/want the optional diagnostic or treatment.

    Dr. Hedge is very quick but also pay attention to details. She also listened to her patients to see what they were feeling instead out just based off of her observations. I appreciate how she listened to me to diagnose a few things!

    Had some scheduling issues in the beginning because opencare and the office availability differed. They have very qualified professionals there no doubt and I learned more and had a better understanding of my teeth and applicable steps than before.

    Definitely 5 out of 5 stars! I had not been to a dentist in at least 3 years because I was nervous about the work I needed to get done. Opencare finally got me through the door and it was such a pleasant experience. The entire staff was personable, friendly, thorough, professional, and helpful. They made me feel extremely welcome and confident that I will be taken care of. Proud to say that this is my new dentist.
