The staff was super friendly at the front desk. My nurse and Dr. Buchanan were very knowledgeable and transparent about my teeth. Will be recommending to others!

The dentists and hygienists here are all super professional...I was in and out, as a new patient, in about 45 minutes...I never felt rushed, they took serious care to not jam the floss between my teeth like some other places do, and everyone was super friendly. They also fixed my issue that my previous dentist couldn't figure out, and it only took them 5 minutes at most. Lastly, they have a ton of higher end equipment and it shows in the work they do. ...If you're trying to find a new dentist, I'd say, this is the place to be.

Dr. Mike and his team are absolutely wonderful. They worked with me to make sure I was informed of everything they were doing, discussed options, and took as long as I needed answering questions. Not feeling rushed and leaving informed is a major win.
