I have no problem with the care and friendly staff. Love Erica she is great. The problem I keep having is the breakdown of what my insurance will pay. I have wound up on 3 occasions paying a lot more than quoted. The last being an insurance problem. The main problem with this is I get a statement 3 months after service and it already has 2 service. charges added. As far has it goes they are a great dental office but I would definitely check with insurance before proceeding with a procedure. And make sure it gets paid are you will be slapped with service charges before you even know you owe.

Ali and Dr. Clayton did a GREAT job caring for everyone in our family. They truly care about us and our oral health. I am so impressed at their up-to-date research and knowledge about pediatric dental care and how to ensure my children's adult teeth come in the best way possible. I can't say enough about the care on being on top of everything!

Had a great experience with Dr. Clayton and her team and will plan on becoming a new patient! Clean office environment with up-to-date technology in dentistry. They were able to scan my mouth and make a replacement crown in-house at the same appointment!
