Great place! Great staff and I just have to call out Holly, she has to be the best dental hygienist I have ever had. She is quick, efficient, kind, capable and on top of everything she does not burden you with conversion unless you want to talk!

I would honestly highly recommend this place because I had such a pleasant experience here the other day. I was having a terrible toothache and I gave Dr. Schmidt call on his cell phone and luckily he responded back and took me in his office. Rosylin was also very kind and gave me the paper works promptly so they could get me checked out. I wasn't even a patient here previously but still they were kind enough to take me in right before losing and even extracted my painful molar. Dr. also called me the next day and checked in on me which I really appreciated. I will be beck. Thank you guys.

Dr Schmidt is one of the best dentist I have visited in my life. It was my first visit so I wasn't sure what to expect. The check-in staff was great. The dental assistant wonderful with the x-rays she took and finally it was amazing to meet Dr Schmidt. He was very friendly and welcome me to the clinic. He took his time to explain the procedures he was doing and options I had for future work. He didn't try to force me to get services I didn't need.
He displayed patience, compassion and understand when answering questions I had. Definitely I highly recommend him. Don't trust the couple of negative reviews on Google maps. Only complainers seem to actually take time to review. I am sure there are 1000s of satisfied customer who never came around to reviewing.

The staff is nice and I felt safe there during this difficult time. They provided social distancing, hand sanitizer, and took my temperature. Dr. Mirza was kind, diligent, and knowledgeable. And she has a gentle touch.
