Patrice is the very best dental hygienist ever! She is so personable and knowledgeable as well as doing an outstanding job cleaning my teeth. Both she and Dr. Strait listen carefully to any concerns and are willing to work with the patient. That level of professionalism and care is rare these days.

Front desk staff and assistants were helpful, professional, and thorough in preparing informational package etc for 1st visit with Dr Strait. I experienced a Short waiting time as did other patients as they arrived.
Dr Straight listened to me, but also asked a lot of questions to understand my dental - sleep apnea dilemma. He had a kind, respectful manner, and seemed very knowledgeable with oral sleep apnea devices and shared some treatment options. He seems to be very interested in patient success and satisfaction, I look forward to working with him in achieving my dental goals.

First visit. Facility is clean and bright. Reception was friendly. After a short wait, I was taken to a room. Panarex and other X-rays were done by Jill. Darcy did my cleaning. It was a very gentle cleaning. I then saw Dr Strait. He showed me a cracked tooth on the imaging. He recommended a plan to fix the tooth. I agreed to the plan. We will fix that tooth soon. I am happy I selected this practice for my dental care.

Hands down, the nicest dental office I have ever been in. Darcy was my dental hygienist and I can say honestly; it was painless!!!! I haven’t been back to the destiny in years because of such severe anxiety. Dr. Strait was so relaxed and funny. Need a few things done but anxiety will be so much better; if at all next visit. I love that Dr. Strait and his stall all say, “welcome to the family.” 10+ Recommendation. My only regret is I wish I had found this office 2 years ago. Thank you again for helping to ease my dental phobia. My entire family has decided to join the DAG train….we are all smiling brighter due to Dr. Strait and his entire staff.

Diane was very personable and very thorough. She explained everything and did an excellent job . One of the best hygienist I’ve ever had . Dr.Straight was very nice and did made a quick analysis of my results and recommended next steps for me to take . This was some confusion regarding my insurance on checkout . I thought it would have been a smoother process

I have had such a great experience here. I’m quite afraid of the dentist, but Dr Halkina always make me feel comfortable & relaxed. I recently had to cancel an appointment last minute unexpectedly due to an emergency, & they were so kind about it & accommodating. Couldn’t recommend them enough!

DAG is the best, full stop .The whole staff including Patrice who does my cleanings as well as all of the dental assistants who I have worked with over the years are all capable, personable and professional. And Dr. Strait leads by example. A great guy, smart and charming but always caring , transparent and explanatory. And skilled!!! He and his team devised and implemented a treatment plan over the course of 2-3 years that took my mouth and smile from a three or four up to a solid nine. I finally have the healthy, beautiful smile that I have wanted for decades. I am extremely pleased with the care and attention I have Received from day one with DAG. 💯

I had such a great experience during my visit with DAG. From the front desk staff to the hygienist and meeting Dr Strait, everyone was so pleasant and answered any questions I had. They were very prompt with taking me in to start and were very thorough throughout my exam. I felt like all my expectations were exceeded and then some. I’m so thankful I recently switched to this dental practice.
