Had my first visit recently to have my teeth cleaned and a cavity filled. I had the pleasure of having Skylar perform the work needed. He is kind, patient, professional and gentle. Everything you would want from a dentist. He had assistance from Tara during the procedures and she too was an absolute delight. She tended to his needs and was very professional and kind. Would highly recommend them for anyone who cannot afford to pay out of pocket at a dental clinic or work where dental insurance isn’t offered. I have heart issues so having a healthy mouth means a lot to me. Thank you Tara and Skylar !!!

Ive had 2 bad experiences here. Sadly my son NEEDS to come here because of his cleft lip. But this lady NORMA was pretty unprofessional I called regarding insurance and very rudely told me no and when I was still nice to her she proceeded to THEN hang up on me. Completely unprofessional Norma you need a different job. And should be fired

My first time here was fantastic. I have to put 1 star after my 2nd visit. I was told to return for another procedure, but instead I ended up doing another evaluation. I was then sent back and forth then told I would need to schedule an appointment for some kind of special advanced care, which they specifically told me I didn't need during the first visit. The service I received on the first visit compared to the second was like day & night. Any questions I asked during the second visit were completely disregarded and I got absolutely nothing accomplished during the visit. I was told they would contact me within 2 weeks for another visit. Its been almost 2 months with no update. When I was leaving from the second visit I mentioned I felt like I was being pushed under the rug and I'm sad to say that seems to be exactly what happened.

Great staff and doctors. Wait times can range an hour to 2 hours even with a scheduled appointment. They do lots of add ons per staff so be prepared to wait sometimes past your appointment time.

I would like to sincerely thank Irina Orlova, a student at the Dental School in San Antonio, for the excellent dental care she provided. She was very gentle, attentive, and professional, and made me feel comfortable throughout the entire treatment. I am also grateful to her supervisors for their guidance and support, which is clearly reflected in her high-quality work. The clinic has a very calm and welcoming atmosphere, which made my visit even more pleasant. I truly appreciate Irina’s kindness and dedication. Olha Mosieieva
