Dr first prescribed medicine for my red gums. Which did not work. Then sent me to other out-of-pocket specialists costing me several hundreds of $ in expenses and months of delays. I solved the problem. Then the SW office called about an appointment for cleaning and asked to call them back if i was coming. They wanted me to pay $50 for missed appointment Now they sent the $50 charge to collections and they are calling me. The office manager Kath is a grumpy misshapened dragon.

Dr Onivasian is a wonderful dentist! He's very kind, compassionate and a gentleman. He has a special technique - his shots never hurt! Carolyn, Norma and the entire staff are sooo nice and work with you concerning your appointments. I wish I could remember all the staffs names. You won't be disappointed!

A friendly family dental office that can diagnose your situation and offer safe and comfortable corrective procedures. Front office went beyond call of duty by coordinating my dental procedure with my family doctor. Dr O had my mouth numb and tooth extracted with no discomfort on my part. That's the way a visit to the dentist should be.
