Their equipment was very advanced and sophisticated. I was very impressed. I was completely at ease during my appointment here. They went to great lengths to make sure I was completely relaxed and comfortable the entire time. They were so nice and professional and even called me to remind me about my upcoming appointment. I will absolutely return. I had an amazing experience, and they were by far the best I've ever seen.

Not only are they recommended by other dentists, other dentists are always calling asking for advice. I know that I'm under the care of an expert. There are times when I've been there, that I feel like they're favoring certain clients. It's not all the time, but I don't appreciate it when it happens. I got an appointment quickly. I've never had to wait too long.

They didn't pressure me to buy anything I didn't need, which I really appreciated. I've been to other places that pressured me to buy stuff and it always made me very uneasy. They always make an extra effort to make me feel respected and attended to. They always listen to every question or concern I may have. They have some of the best customer service I have ever seen. Putting their customers first is definitely a priority here and it shows.

Let me just say that this business is in one of the safest areas around and you will be pleasantly surprised at how lovely the surroundings are. I didn't experience any unnecessary pain during my visit, and I was amazed at how much better I felt after I left. It made my experience that much more enjoyable. The toothpaste they used during my cleaning tasted great. It made the experience that much better. I knew I was getting top-of-the-line treatment when they told me about what they learned at the latest conference they attended, and how they were incorporating that knowledge into the practice.
