Very nice staff! They took very good care of me during my appointment.
Kimberley Rimiller
First visit was for a cleaning and evaluation within 2 weeks of calling for an appointment. Everyone was friendly and professional. Offices are clean and bright. Tiffany was my hygienist, did an exceptional job, explained everything and answered questions. Second visit was a follow up for minor filling and impressions for lower partial, appointment was made within 10 days after initial appointment. On the day of my appointment I received a phone call about mid-morning to let me know they were behind schedule and were concerned it would carry over to afternoon appointments and gave me the opportunity to reschedule rather than sit and wait later in the day. My appointment was rescheduled for the next business day. Dr. Shaw was slick with injection, numbed the area very well and completed the work quickly. Very happy with my experiences so far.
