I shouldn’t post this because everyone will start going here and I will never be able to get an appointment but here goes. The front office staff were really nice and easy to work with. The dental hygienist was sweet as the day is long and got my teeth brighter than the sun. I hate when they polish your teeth, it makes my skin crawl but this was the least miserable cleaning I’ve ever had. The dentist gave me a thorough examination, took some time to talk to me and asked about any concerns or problems I had. He also didn’t ask a lot of questions when he was digging in my mouth and waited till the end of the exam which was nice. Good practice and they work on fridays which is great for my schedule.

Unfortunately, I've had traumatizing experiences at other places. I was so nervous to have my fillings done. First time EVER I felt no pain. Dr.Shaw is amazing!Him and his staff treat me with much respect and consideration. Diana his assistant so kind and caring. I appreciate the experience I've had so far! Thank you Dr.Shaw and staff! I truly recommend Valley Hills Dentistry.

I am in town visiting my daughter, and I was shocked they had an appointment available the day I called. I was having a bit of a dental emergency and ended up having a tooth pulled. They were very thorough while explaining my options to me. I live out of state and I am considering switching to Valley Hills as my new primary dentist. I'll just work it with visits to my daughter's. Very pleased with the whole process.
