The staff and Dr Gina are very warm and friendly. Dr. Gina is very knowledgeable and thorough. She tells you what you need to know and doesn't leave you feeling worse than you did before the appointment.

At 75 years of age I have finally found a dentist and dental office I love. Dr. John Hartmann is wonderful, patient and explains everything in detail as well as all options available. The office staff is also a delight to deal with. Truly wish I had found them much earlier in my life.
