“Laurel and Dr Head are both wonderful professionals that really know what they’re doing! I had a dental emergency in the middle of moving and they were able to get me in quickly, treat the issue without judgement and with kindness and set me up on a good path for success. To add to that, the office folks are helping me navigate insurance issues which is always a nightmare – so really appreciated. I’d recommend them to anyone.”
“absolutely thrilled! Insane amount of pain prior to my appointment. Kept me awake. After my procedure, even during, no pain. Dr. Nguyen was sincere & professional. The infected tooth was well taken care of. Impressive! The whole staff is friendly and caring. top notch service”
“This is my family’s first and go-to clinic. The staff is always warm, welcoming, and incredibly accommodating. Barb at the front desk is especially friendly and helpful, and Kayla’s passion for her work truly stands out. As someone who has always been scared of the dentist, this clinic has truly set the bar high for me. Dr. Chahal has consistently been caring and attentive. We always feel well taken care of here.”
“Went in after being ghosted by my previous dentist of 20 years to fin out I need multiple root canals me never having on befor didn’t know what to expect the procedure was long but painless and smooth it now being the 2nd day the day after the root canal I feel 1000x better than the day befor. They did a good job from what I’ve experienced so far, definitely glad I choose to swap to them.”
“I had a front tooth that was chipped from a sports injury many years ago. The filling that was there came off. Dr. Caitlin Meredeth re did the filling very wonderfully. I couldn’t see where she had done the work – it was so well done. She and all the staff were very pleasant.”
