As soon as I arrived I was greeted by the receptionist at the front she is very nice and sweet, the Doctor was very gentle and nice with my son and I really appreciate that and he was very clear on the procedure that needed to be done. After the procedure was performed they receptionist offered my baby a popsicle that was a very nice thing to do. I would highly recommend them for anyones kids in the age range starting at 2!

The weather was terrible the day we went to see Dr. Greenleaf and he, & his sweet staff, managed to get both the twins fillings done in about 15 minutes! They are always great, but that appointment was remarkable because of how well they have things organized.
