I do not have the words to describe how amazing this group is and how kind hearted they all are with such good energy. Everyone is phenomenal here from the front office, back end assistants, to surgery coordinator Cindy, all the dentist Leigh-Ann and Mike are gems, and the anesthesiologist! We had a wonderful experience and my kids will not go anywhere else because they also see adults. This is a forever thing! We love it here!

The staff were very accommodating, as we had to shuffle our schedules around some, and were very patient and friendly. The deep cleaning was performed with care and professionalism, was almost painless, so I congratulate the staff on their mad skills! I did need to get two fillings, and the cost is very reasonable, and they were able to fit me in to get that done quickly. Overall, I am really glad that we found them after moving to Florida. Happy to have found a great dentist group to go to throughout the future years.

Wow! What an amazing office. From the first phone call to the checking out for my appointment. It was absolutely AMAZING. Front desk staff was great, especially "Tina" , the dentist explained everything to me, the dental assistant was also wonderful. It's not often I can say I enjoy going to the dentist, I can truthfully say I enjoyed this visit and I cannot wait to come back. This place was outstanding!

Dr Mike is a great dentist and did great on my sons fillings. He helped answer all my questions about my son and the treatment he needed and made me feel more comfortable about what needed to be done with no judgement. He made my son feel like he was a part of the conversation and put him at ease. The assistant who helped with our consultation was very kind and thorough.

The assistants on the day of treatment were also kind and took the fear out of the treatment for my son. My son had to have sedation for his fillings and it went smoothly and quickly. Thank you!

Absolutely amazing experience! We just had a first visit yesterday for my 20 month old and my 3 1/2 year old! Every staff member was so kind and thorough. This was the first time my daughter's teeth were cleaned- she loved the dental hygienist and Dr. Mike. Thanks so much for allowing my children to now love their dentist.

This is a great place for children and adults. Especially adults living with anxiety over dental visits. The children's side is very accommodating with appropriately sized furniture and exam chairs. Upon entry is a station to brush your teeth and when exiting, each child can select items from gumball-like machines (no candy, of course). The adult side is welcoming and has good vibes.

The waiting rooms don't feel like traditional waiting rooms. They're beautifully decorated and I find them calming while waiting for my turn. The office staff has consistently been professional and courteous. The hygienists and dentists are gentle, accommodating, honest, and professional. It's worth the drive, worth the travel time, to come see for yourself.
