    Dr Keem was good but i felt like he was rushing during my Wisdom tooth extraction. He tried but wasn't able to extract 1/2 of my wisdom tooth completely and referred me to an oral surgeon for further extraction.

    Dr. Keem was very attentive, taking time to explain what was happening and why he made each recommendation for my care. I left the appointment feeling informed and in control of my oral health.

    Everyone working here was so nice and friendly. I love how up-to-date their machines are and everyone who worked there was very informative in their communications. I had a teeth cleaning here and the dentist who worked on my teeth was extremely thorough, down to earth and transparent with me. This was by far the best experience I've ever received at a dentist. The fact that they played lo-fi music and even massaged my jaw after the treatment really made them stand out amongst every other dentist office I've ever been to. Highly recommend!!

    The appointment I scheduled was received by the dental office I booked at. I booked it at the closest dental clinic with the best reviews, and I received great service. The staff were non-judgmental and had amazing social skills. I was anxious, due to life circumstances I hadn't visit a dental clinic for years. It was definitely a great experience, and I will come here again.

    BEST dental experience!! The whole crew did a fantastic job! The secretary was very welcoming and helped explain my receipt and any questions I had. The dental assistant was very friendly and made me aware of what was going to happen. The dentist was very approachable and knowledgeable, he was also able to answer any concerns I had. The dental hygienist was also very welcoming and talkative, and did a great job at polishing and scaling my teeth! He was also very knowledgeable! My teeth never felt so clean and my experience with everyone was above and beyond! As well, there was a small face massage at the end which felt amazing and I've never experienced that! To add, I had to change my appointment date twice due to insurance issues and the secretaries were all very understanding and helpful! They sent me a reminder of my appointment as well which is very handy!

    Everything went well, the appointment was cut short due to time. I would have liked if the appointment had been booked for longer to get some procedure done. Other than that everything was well explained and answered.

    Dr. Keem was extremely pleasant to have as a dentist. He provided inciteful details regarding my current oral health. He also went the extra mile to make sure I had enough insurance coverage and gave me an estimate of what the total cost might be - something other dentists seldom do. Overall, it was a great experience.

    I had a great visit! I hadn't been to a dentist since 2019 because of the pandemic so my teeth needed some work, but everyone I interacted with at the office was great. They billed my insurance directly, which is always appreciated, and the office is in a very convenient location. I'm glad I made the switch!

    It was an overall great experience. I had not been to a dentist in years, and although my mouth is in bad shape, I never felt judged and they treated me with dignity, adapting my needs as a patient. What a great spot. Very high tech and thorough. I’m looking forward to continuing my treatment plan with them.

    The location is very easy to find; from the moment I walked into the clinic, the service was great, the receptionist greeted me, asked me to fill in some info on the iPad since I was a new customer. The service was really nice, fast and simple! Dr. Keem and his assistant were both very kind and answered all my questions before and after my procedure was done :) The dentist can be intimidating but my experience with them was great!
