Edith C.

They were extremely helpful and kind, I have been deeply struggling to find a good place to help care for my son’s extreme dental issues. And I’m so happy I found them! I was able to come in the same day and was scheduled months sooner than anywhere else for my son’s procedure, they also offered me better solutions to his issues that I wasn’t offered at other places. Overall I would 100% recommend!
