I went to Dr. Celis as a child and have been wanting to go back for years! Finally got the right insurance and just recently took my daughter there as well. I absolutely love the treatment and staff. Being to many different dentists I've seen things I didn't like and they aren't always patient with kids. The dentist isn't a pleasant place for most so having a positive attitude and environment means 100 percent a lot when choosing a dental office.
My daughter has went from dreading the dentist to loving it! They take good care of you, urgently if needed. I'm so glad I could re-establish with them. You'll never forget how someone treats you and 7 years later nothing has changed. Highly recommend for your family.

I struggled to find a good dentist when I moved to the area from Indianapolis. I found Dr. Celis and have been going to her office for two years. Her staff are very friendly and helpful and always greet me with a smile. Her dental assistants are very knowledgeable and made my visit a pleasant experience. Dr. Celis was wonderful and even took time to ask about my family. I would highly recommend her and her office!

I received a bill for x ray's that was supposedly covered by my insurance. When I set up the appointment for this office. I told the front desk clerk that I wanted a cleaning for my husband and I. She said ok and booked the appointment. When I got there for my appointment the assistant said I needed x rays for first time patience. I said I didn't want the X-rays just a cleaning. The assistant and doctor said they can't see me without doing the x rays.
Before I sat in the dental chair, I asked the assistant and doctor to make sure my insurance cover this. The assistance and doctor came back with papers saying I was covered. Now I have a bill because I was lied to. I am highly upset and would not recommend anyone go here if you have Cigna insurance and a new patient. To make matters worst, I didn't get the cleaning that day but instead they informed me that I needed to book a cleaning appointment for another day. What a waste of time. This office gives missing information, not fast and costly. If I could give this review a FAT 0 I would. Overall 0/5.

I really enjoyed this office. I haven't had any major work done to really comment on. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. That helps. Office appears clean though a little dated. Cleanliness is of utmost importance! I just wish they had more office hours. That's the only reason, at this time, they are not getting 5 stars.
