This is an absolutely terrible dentist. Gave a star because the girls helping the dentist were great. The black lady who must be the dentist came in like a whirlwind. I tried to ask some questions about flossing and she refused to take her hands out of my mouth so I wasnt able to speak. After the 4th attempt I asked my question and got some automatic response. It was like being a head of cattle. Zero feeling. After she finished the cleaning, I very suddenly and with no explanation or warning whatsoever had a thick, sticky liquid in my mouth. When I was finally able to ask the question, what is this stuff ? She said it was Fluoride. I said i dont support the use of flouride, and didnt want it in my mouth, and she rudley commented that I absolutely needed it amd it was too late. I do not support the forced usage of Fluoride in our public drinking water, and only drink from a well. This was a very bad experience and I would recommend going to a dentist that actually cares about people and there wishes.

Very nice people, but the fee structure makes absolutely no sense. $100 down to secure an appointment which I showed up for and then was told Last minute that I had to pay 400+ dollars down on a payment plan that I already arranged. None of this was made aware of me during my first visit. So I basically paid them $100 For x-rays.

The staff was nice but I thought it was odd that you paid for service before the procedure. After my appointment I was informed that I needed a root canal. I went to another dentist and had the work performed and saved almost $900. They are way overpriced! I can't help to wonder how much money I would have saved at my dentist now for the cavity. It will probably just anger me more & better not to know.

Patti is so amazing and so so great at her job as a dental hygienist. I was very nervous for my deep cleaning and Patti put me right to ease she explained everything and went slow, but I've never had a cleaning that did not truly hurt and when I left the chair I had no pain or hurt gums. All I can say is how Wonderful of a job Patti did and now I'm not afraid or scared to go back thank you Patti for all you do for your patients. I would also like to add that the girls up front also for an amazing job working with the insurance companies and greeting all the patients and checking them in and out. Thank you for all you girls do too.

They were nice and did good work, but did not listen to me. Told them my dentist retired and was looking for a new one. I was seeing another dentist who was not in my insurance plan and had to pay for everything. Also told them he was near retirement. They repaired 2 damaged teeth and replaced a filling on two visits. The 3rd visit was for a root canal to a crown. They did it, but did not fill it. Just put a temporary filling in. It could have been done while I was there and numb, but was told I had to schedule a full oral exam and x-rays before they would fill it. Was told they did not want to fill it in consideration of my current dentist. They were my current dentist, but not now. I even told them I wanted 2 new crowns and an implant and was bringing my wife as a new patient, because I liked their work. Had they listened to me they would have gained a lot of business from me, my family and friends. Not now.
