If you have dental anxiety, this is a safe office. The staff is kind, warm, and so accommodating. I normally feel really embarrassed of how hard going to the dentist is, and literally every single member of the staff is gracious and kind. Dr Spigner was especially gentle and I never felt rushed or like I was annoying anybody.

First I have to apologize to Dr. Spigner and his staff for not leaving my review before now! They all are amazing! I've had several encounters with Dr Spigner and have never had a bad experience. His way of making you feel comfortable with a drill/needle in your mouth is masterful. Tina his Hygenist is genuine and you can tell she is interested in making sure you are satisfied before leaving her chair.

The chatting is a plus as well I've referred several of my coworkers and friends, and all are patients for life! Once you visit this office, you will understand my post. Again, thank you Dr Spigner/staff for your never changing loving spirit during my visits.

Very impressed with the professionalism and genuine interest in the patient's well-being. Dr. Spigner and his staff are legit. After a less than pleasant experience with another practice, it's refreshing to be in good care once again. I needed help for a problematic tooth and they didn't put me on the back burner. Instead, they made immediate time to address my situation. A few days later, I had worsening pain. I was in front of Dr. Spigner within an hour after I called to ask about the possibility of making an appointment. That level of attention, and subsequent painless treatment, speak for Dr. Spigner.

I have been seeing Dr. Spigner and his excellent team for years. I have been remiss in not writing a review sooner. This team is AWESOME! I have had huge phobia of going to the dentist since I was a child, but completely unfounded when visiting this office. The office staff are on top of everything, friendly and caring. The Hygienist is gentle, but very thorough. She reads my body language closely and checks in frequently to make sure I am doing ok - that dang phobia of mine! Dr. Spigner and his assistants provide excellent service - not one iota of pain EVER.

Like his team, Dr. Spigner is sensitive to my phobia, tracks my body language and check in with me regularly during the services. When it comes to dental work that is needed, he never tries to oversell services. He and his team provide the options, rationale and costs. No pressure. When he sees something, if it is not at the point of needing to be fixed, he mentions to me that he's watching this or that tooth for the future. Having a true phobia of dental work, it is hard to say I "enjoy" coming in.but from now on, I certainly don't avoid coming in to see Dr. Spigner and his team.
