what people say

Highly Recommended

August 9, 2024

Highly recommend this surgery. I have been coming here for many years and will never go anywhere else! Nick, Bonnie, Katherine and Lizzie. Thank you so much for always looking after me so well.

Nick is incredibly gentle when doing work on your teeth. I have been coming to Nick for years and never once felt any of his needles going into the gums. It’s always so painless and the end results are wonderful. Katherine and Bonnie are so friendly, empathic and welcoming.

Thank you ladies for always giving me a great experience when I visit. Lizzie is the best receptionist you will ever meet. Lizzie is the most warming and kind-hearted soul. Her customer service skills are amazing and she has wonderful people skills.

Great Skill and Professionalism

August 9, 2024

I cannot praise this place enough! I’ve had years of bad experiences with dentists so I’m a nervous patient, and not only did the whole team and very friendly receptionist Liz put me at ease, but dentist Nick performed a complex extraction I’ve been dreading without causing me any pain (unusual as local anesthetics don’t usually work well for me, but he really took his time to numb me and explain everything). Great skill and professionalism, and I’m so grateful. 🙂
