"I came in with 3 of my 4 kids (ages 7, 3 and 2) today and they were phenomenal. My 3-year-old has anxiety about laying down and they worked around his fear. I am so glad I found this practice. All my kids now love the dentist. We will be back next week with my oldest kiddo's appt and I know he will enjoy it too. Thank you everyone!"

"We've been going here for 3 years and have been very happy. My older two are autistic and all the staff members have been accommodating and kind. It's nice seeing the same faces every time and it's reassuring to know that they can provide other care as needed. Also love the new building!"
