Lovely hidden surprise! There soooo busy they barely have time to talk. No talk more action. They are there to help you. It may take a minute but worth the wait. Even if they're completely booked they'll fit you in just remember time is not an option when it comes to your teeth. Love love love the DR and the staff wouldn't go anywhere else!!!!!
