Patient review on Yelp/MapQuest

"Horrible service. They treat you like a number. This is the Walmart of dental services. I question the experience of their dentists."

Patient review on Yelp/MapQuest

"They need to employ another dental hygienist. It's very difficult to schedule an appointment for a dental cleaning. Not a six-month wait- more like a year wait."
