Dr. D and staff are always friendly and accommodating. Unfortunately I have a bad gag reflex and her staff has many different ways to help me when I get X-rays. My wife saw them for an emergency tooth ache and although her issue was beyond what they could do Dr. D gave a recommendation and her husband James called on my wife’s behalf and made her an appointment for the next day because she was in so much pain. Thanks again for such great customer service. Tim and Jen

Best dentist I’ve ever been to with a professional, kind, knowledgable, and caring staff. They helped me prioritize my needs to work within my budget with zero judgment and scheduled my services promptly. Nice, clean office with modern dental tech. Highly recommended!
