I have been taking all 5 of my grandchildren for 11 years. None of them are scared, everyone that works there have always been very respectful. Never have a problem with getting appointment. Place is clean. Had bad experience with another provider with my grandson, didn’t think they would every want to go back to a dentist again. But after the 2nd visit, have no problem now!

I took my 16 month old for her first appointment. The dentist and assistant were very pleasant. My only issue was that we had to wait about 50 minutes, even though we arrived on time.
