What patients say
Vibe: family-friendly
The practice receives overwhelmingly positive reviews (7 of 9 five-star ratings) with particular praise for friendly, professional staff and excellent service with children. However, two critical reviews highlight significant operational concerns: extended wait times before treatment begins and rushed service during peak hours, suggesting potential scheduling and workflow issues that detract from the otherwise strong patient experience.
