What patients say
Vibe: cozy
Grand Avenue Dental receives universally positive reviews (all 5-star ratings) with overwhelming praise for a compassionate, family-oriented practice culture. Patients—including anxious, returning, and new patients—consistently highlight the thoughtful office aesthetics (historic home setting), exceptional communication and gentleness from both dentists (particularly Dr. Mulligan) and hygienists, and a genuine care-focused atmosphere. The main trade-off noted is a wait for appointments, but reviewers unanimously consider the quality of experience worth the delay.
