Going to the dentist used to be a very uncomfortable experience that I never looked forward too which lead to neglect of my dental hygiene in general. Until I met Dr. Ian Fessler, he is a very skilled and professional and I always am at ease when he is doing my dental work. I have the outmost confidence in him and his track record speaks for itself. I am so thankful for Dr. Fessler and I highly recommend him.

I've been going here for years, but today was my first procedure with Dr. Fessler. He was gentle, calm, and communicative during the whole process. His dental assistant, Rhonda, was also excellent, answering my many questions and noticing as soon as I needed suction. Great place to go for things that tend not to be very fun!

Report
I had broken a tooth and needed an urgent appt My dentist for over 20 years retired and I was very anxious about a new dentist with an urgent issue. The office fit me in the next day. I saw a new dentist, Dr McDuffee. With my history of severe dental anxiety I was a nervous wreck. Dr McDuffee and Angie the dental asst went above and beyond to make me comfortable. They were calm and very patient with me and my dental anxiety. The dentist called that evening to check on how I was feeling after the procedure. Above and beyond service.
