My daughter used to be terrified of going to the dentist to the point where she would have panic attacks. Our family dentist recommend that we go here instead and our experience has been amazing! The staff took the time to explain all the equipment and the procedures during a visit so she could be comfortable. She now looks forward to going to the dentist and the fact that the orthodontist is also on site is amazing. He is so awesome with kids and is always eager to explain anything that my daughter has questions on. Love this place!
