Friendly, helpful staff. Low prices compared to other facilities. They offer many services for the community, such as help with car seats for babies, and covid immunizations. I visit the dentist here and have for years. They're very knowledgeable and professional. It's a little difficult to get an appt., But if you're in pain or have an emergency, they compromise with you too get you in quickly!

This place has always been great and I never had problems with the staff until recently. I understand you have a strict cancellation policy but when someone's phone breaks BEFORE their appointment and has to order another one in order to get their calendar again and doesn't even know when their appointment is due to their phone being broken and misses said appointment and then is dismissed because it has exceeded the missed appointments is kind of messed up. My appointment was March 11th and my phone broke about a week before that. I ordered a new phone and didn't receive it til March 14th. It takes time for a new phone to arrive. My entire calendar is on my phone. I use it for everything due to my Autism. And until I could activate a new one and transfer sim cards I was out of luck. I called today and politely spoke with one of the ladies at the dental clinic who was a little off putting. I didn't even receive a letter until over a month after the appointment was missed in which she stated was because of an old address on file which was not true because last Wednesday I called and requested a copy of financial records and low and behold that letter was attached to it! So it wasn't sent out a month ago! I moved a year and a half ago. I asked for the supervisors voicemail and was told I cant speak to her because she won't speak to patients who have been dismissed from the clinic. Like I said, I understand the policy but when it's out of someone's hands what are you to do??

Reasonable wait time. In exam room, Technician was amicable, and accommodating, allowing me to stay seated in wheelchair for x-rays, and exam. Doctor, and Technician, were quick, but thorough. Informed me in detail regarding findings of exam. Pleasant experience.

My 9 year old son has been visiting this facility for several years now. He has never liked going to the dentist because of the noise coming from the drills and he has trouble sitting still. In the past, my son would become terrified and make it difficult for the dental hygienist to provide care. Over the last two years, my son has received care from Lindsay and I must commend her. Lindsay is Godsent. Lindsay is patient and she makes my son feel safe and comfortable throughout the entire process. Even if my son begins to become anxious or fearful, she finds ways to get him back on track. My son still doesn't like going to the dentist, but once Lindsay begins the cleaning, he's more relaxed and unafraid. I truly appreciate Lindsay's patience and willingness to go above and beyond for her patients.
