Posted on Google Julia Grisar-ShryockTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wonderful care and follow up. Takes his time with patients and explains treatment options. Not overly aggressive/ intervention minded. Awesome with my 13 and 17 year old as well. Hygienist is Excellent. Gentle and thorough!Posted on Google Elliot KusiakTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I went in for a fixed retainer repair (lingual bar attachment) and they got me in with same-day options. Staff was really personable and chill - and dentist was top rank. Maybe the quickest, smoothest repair I’ve had. Night guard fits better than ever, front tooth is tracking more than it was 😎 They’re also helping me work with insurance to get a reimbursementPosted on Google Jessica KenleyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
