What patients say

Vibe: professional

Highly polarized reviews reveal a significant gap between hygiene services (consistently excellent, especially Lisa) and dentist/admin professionalism. While most reviewers praise cleanliness and friendliness, critical 1-star reviews expose serious concerns: dismissive dentist behavior toward patients with medical conditions and anxiety needs, unreliable insurance handling with unprofessional phone interactions, and inadequate pain management. The pattern suggests strong hygiene team undermined by poor clinical dentistry and administrative practices, particularly regarding patient accommodation and insurance transparency.
