Very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful staff. They are very thorough and thoughtful in examinations, treatments and explanations. Dr. Harrison is very practical and never suggests procedures unless absolutely necessary. My pocketbook appreciates it! Absolutely recommend.

I've been coming to Bighorn for many years. Jill is the best hygienist I've ever had (my wife sees a different hygienist here and loves her as well). I appreciate Dr. Galyardt has always been great to me also. I believe they give me honest information about my dental health and have never once pushed any kind of procedure or product. I'm grateful for the whole team!

So very impressed. If you have been looking for a place to bring your kids that is competent, fun and kind then you should definitely give this office a try. They have a ceiling mounted screen for kids or anxious adults and streamed my daughter's favorite show for her. They were twice as fast (at least) as her last dentist, but were definitely not cutting corners. Both the dentist and assistant were knowledgeable and engaged with my daughter and I in a friendly and professional manner. Highly recommend this office!

Dr. Harrison and his team always take very good care of me. I have horrible dental anxiety and they do their very best to make sure I am comfortable whenever I am in there. The office is lovely, bright, and comfortable.
