My granddaughter unfortunately had several cavities and was terrified at first. The dental staff were so patient with her that within a few visits she began to trust them..."
- Gleasman Family on LocalityBiz"This place never answers the phone always making you wait long lengths to get in and take people that came in after you. The care imo is crap... If you have hours to wait for a cleaning come here."
