My daughter saw Connie and Dr. Hanowski. She was seen on time, they explained everything they did and answered all our questions. It was a great visit! Thank you for taking such good care of her!

On May 17, I had 8 teeth extracted by Dr. Arora. Thanks to her for making me feel comfortable and explaining the process thoroughly. But the best part was the extractions were painless I didn't feel a thing. Thank you so much Dr. Arora. I also wanted to thank Apple Tree Dental for being one of the very few places that accept Medical Assistance and also has a sliding fee for low income, without your kindness I would not be able to get any of this done. Thank you all so much, I'm going to get my smile back.

Connie is an Angel! The BEST bedside manners EVER! When your teeth are in bad shape you hate going to the dentist. She was very caring understanding and sweet. Every dentist office should have a Connie.
