Alexus Murray
I had my first appointment here today after not going to the dentist in 5 years. I had been avoiding going to the dentist due to severe dental anxiety. As soon as I walked in, the front office was super welcoming. The new patient paperwork was quick and easy! Julia, the dental hygienist, immediately made me feel at ease and comfortable as soon as she walked me back. Julia was very caring, empathetic, patient, and understanding. Julia really took her time to ensure that I was comfortable and feeling okay. She walks you through every step and has a thorough answer to any question you ask! She was so kind, personable, and genuine. Julia is very encouraging and will boost your confidence when it comes to your anxiety and clean smile! Dr. Shaw was also extremely kind! He took his time and was very thorough upon examining. He walks you through everything and gives you detailed options when it comes to your dental health. Dr. Shaw is also very genuine and shows that he has your best interest. Valley Hills Dentistry greatly helped me overcome my dental anxiety!

I had the best first experience here. I had a previous filling that a previous dentist practice couldnt help me without it hurting. The dentist here was able to somehow make it not hurt when the previous practice couldnt. Everyone here was nice and friendlly and helpful.
