What patients say

Vibe: professional

Capitol Dental Center receives overwhelmingly positive reviews (15 of 17 five-star ratings) with patients consistently highlighting the dentists' expertise, staff warmth, and commitment to patient comfort and care. The practice is distinguished by exceptional patient loyalty spanning decades and a reputation for treating patients like family. However, two negative reviews surface concerns about front desk inconsistency during scheduling and lack of proactive insurance cost transparency, suggesting areas where consistency could be improved.
