I experienced a warm welcome. The dental assistant comforted me while the dentist gave me four shots into my gums. The staff allowed me to play worship music while the procedure was done. I pray everyone in the clinic prosper in this season.

I finally found a dentist whom took the time to explain the issues I’ve experienced for 5 years. Staff and dentist were very patient, professional and knowledgeable. I actually look forward to completing the process I’m currently needing for a healthier outcome. I really hope I can get through this phase of implant infection to reapply the post for bottom denture. Thank you 😊
