Fantastic experience: One of my biggest fears is the dentist. After doing much research and reviewing Google reviews, I decided to make an appt at this office. I was quite apprehensive to make that call but I did. I couldn’t be happier to do so. The manager answering the phone was so empathetic when I told her my fears. Finally an office that understood me!! I went to my cleaning and was given Allie as my hygienist. I was sweating bullets in the chair but she made me feel so comfortable and calm. She was so gentle and explained every part of the process as I needed a deeper cleaning into my gums than just the normal cleaning. My next appt is next week for the 2nd part and for once in my life, I’m not dreading it. Thank you Allie for being so amazing!!
Leslie, thank you for sharing your wonderful experience! We're so glad to hear that our team helped you feel comfortable and understood. Your feedback means a lot to us, and we look forward to seeing you at your next appointment!
