    I had a great experience going to the dentist it’s been a while since I’ve gone. His team took extra care to make sure I was comfortable and really listen to the pains that I’ve had in the past. I went and got a deep cleaning and Erika the hygienist did a really thorough job and again making me feel comfortable throughout the process.

    Knowledgeable, friendly, and very thorough in his explanation of all the pictures and scans taken. Staff is also extremely transparent with every observation about my teeth and showed me on a screen what they were looking at in my mouth. They also explained the options for different procedures carefully without bias when i was choosing for cost and effectiveness.

    Pleasant office, lovely staff, fine equipment, clean. I had some slight difficulties communicating my dental history and getting on the same page with my overall treatment plan, but these were resolved with a bit more chatting.
