What patients say

Vibe: professional

The practice receives strong praise for friendliness, efficiency, and excellent pain management—particularly for anxious patients. However, a significant minority of reviewers report concerning experiences with dismissive dentist behavior, aggressive upselling of deep cleanings, and poor communication about exam findings. Staff quality appears inconsistent, with standout team members praised alongside reports of rudeness. Overall sentiment is positive but tempered by recurring complaints about treatment recommendations and patient communication.
