Experiencia negativa: The dental hygienist was very nice and professional. However, I was not happy that there was about a 10 min delay. What the team needs to realize is tha that patients have work responsibilities to get back to. I had to rush back to work. Kindly see if your team can stick to the times as best you can. I realize maybe there are surprises that you don’t anticipate but yesterday, I didn’t see anything that would suggest there was an emergency before me.

Thank you so much.

Experiencia fantástica: I've been a patient of Dr. Bayless and now also Dr.Smith for over 30 years... My son and daughter, my son in laws, grandchildren and step grandchildren all utilize this practice.... He is meticulous and an artisan when it comes to his workmanship.. The most painless injections that I have ever had… I have had 6 tooth extractions performed by Dr.Smith….was very impressed by how little pain was involved in the extractions themselves or in the days following… Her measurements for appliances to replace the teeth were spot on, and were comfortable, but she has continued to adjust the partial teeth to ensure continued comfort… I’ve had my teeth cleaned by all the hygienists and am currently seeing Ursula who does a fantastic job.. The office staff is wonderful, always friendly and able to accommodate my appointment and billing needs… I could’nt have a higher regard for a practice or professionals than this!
