Team
What patients say
Vibe: community-oriented
The practice is overwhelmingly well-regarded (14 out of 15 five-star reviews) for exceptional friendliness, cleanliness, and staff quality—particularly hygienist Maria. Patients consistently report feeling comfortable and well-cared for during procedures. However, one significant negative review alleges unethical practice by a dentist who prioritized profit over patient welfare and made questionable treatment recommendations, which undermines trust for that reviewer despite broad positive sentiment.
