What patients say
Vibe: clinical
The practice receives deeply polarized reviews. The majority (9/13 positive) praise the clinical skill of specific dentists—particularly Dr. Barsness and Dr. Vuong—their exceptional pain management, and genuine care for anxious patients. However, significant concerns include outdated and somewhat cramped facility conditions, chronic overbooking making appointments difficult to obtain, accessibility issues for patients on medical assistance, and one notable complaint about inadequate filling work. The practice excels clinically but struggles operationally with capacity and access.
