What a group! Not only were they all professional, they were personable, especially Pam. I went in to get a deep cleaning and through x-ray discovered a molar with cavities under a crown. Within 3 hours I had a deep.cleaning and a temporary crown. I met many new people and every one of them made me feel comfortable by explaining each step of the process. I would recommend them.

I am so sad that Myra had to leave. She is my favorite person there. The Hispanic lady is so rude and not so welcoming. The way she speaks and by her tone of voice is very unprofessional. She thinks highly of herself I believe. I might change clinic because I do not want to see her face anymore. Although, i love all the staff except for her. She should be humble enough to talk with the patients not raise her voice and act like she owns the clinic. This is just based on my personal experience.

Shout out to Dr. Lang. I am so grateful for finding you as I have anxiety and have refrained from seeing a dentist due to so many bad experiences. Dr. Lang is so gentle and literally talks you through everything. I didn't feel a thing. She even did a root canal on me and lemme tell you. pain free and she was so gentle. I was shocked and now am getting the dental care I needed as I literally did avoid the dentist due to being so fearful from not wanting to experience any pain. Thank you to Dr. Lang and your team. As for prices, I don't have dental insurance but hey, even when you do, doesn't cover much anyways. Prices are reasonable though. Thank you again everyone

Great customer service and Molly is the best hygienist I have I had. She genuinely cares about your teeth and goes far and beyond her duties to make sure you get the treatment you deserve and need.

I should of read the reviews before visiting and having a consultation. I had the impression I was going to be able to get bottom braces for under $100.00, as I was told when I first asked them. When I came in for my consultation, the doctor recommended that I get full braces. So, I thought I'd go with that. However, when they went over the full amount of out of pocket fees I would be paying for, it came out to be over $3,000.

When I told them, I wasn't expecting the price to be so high, they rushed me out obviously very upset at me for not making another appointment with them. I found it very rude. I would recommend asking more thorough details beforehand if you decide to visit this office and make an appointment for a consultation so you wouldn't deal with the same customer experience I had.
