Report
We moved here last year and struggled to find a dentist that was awesome. Dr, Richter was referred to us and has been incredible to work with. My kids are very nervous typically, but felt at ease with Dr. Richter. They also have a cool laser for cavity treatment instead of the dreaded drill. Super impressed and would highly recommend.
