All the staff were excellent. Very knowledgeable, patient, kind, and efficient. The perfect small practice, especially as someone who was nervous about going to a dentist for the first time in several years. They also have updated equipment that made x-rays and a 3D model of my teeth that was not only super easy but also very cool to experience and see. I highly recommend visiting this practice.

Very disappointed with the communication from this clinic, which ultimately resulted in me paying an additional ~$1,000 that could have easily been avoided. At the time I started my Invisalign treatment, I had a premium dental insurance plan that was supposed to cover $2,000 of the cost. I paid my portion (approximately $4,000) and understood that the financial aspect of the treatment was fully taken care of. Since I wasn’t planning on any additional dental work, I switched to a less expensive insurance plan the following year. To my surprise, I was later informed that I owed an additional $1,000 because the insurance benefit was being paid to the clinic in installments over time. Once I changed insurance plans, the remaining portion was no longer covered. While this may be standard practice in the dental industry and may have been included somewhere in the paperwork, it was never clearly explained to me. Had I been told that changing insurance before all installments were paid could leave me responsible for the balance, I would have simply kept my existing plan and avoided the extra expense. The staff has always been friendly and professional, and I appreciate the care I’ve received. However, I do not appreciate being surprised with a significant unexpected bill. I hope this feedback helps future patients avoid finding themselves in the same situation.

No one likes going to the dentist, right? Wrong, Dr. Nina and her crew are kind, make you feel like family and bring care back into your teeth. Not only have I called during a dental emergency and gotten in right away, but they are genuinely happy to help.

This office is the best! It’s hard to find consistently good dental care, but I have been happy at every visit for several years. The office staff is kind, efficient, and professional; the office has top-of-the-line tech and equipment; and the dentists and hygienists are personable and knowledgeable. My teeth have never been healthier!

Dr Vera changed my life!!! I have had serious TMJ for the last 12 years and tried everything from Botox to acupuncture to different night guards, and nothing worked. I was waking up every morning with jaw pain and I had cracked several back teeth. Then I had my appointment with Dr. Vera. He was the first dentist to notice there was something off with the alignment of my back teeth. The solution was surprisingly easy and painless, and I left feeling like I had a facelift. The heaviness in the back of my jaw was completely gone, and it is still gone a month later. He also reshaped the outside of my mouthguard, which has helped to make a huge difference at night. I cannot recommend him enough!!!

We love it here! My partner began going when I was pregnant and we wanted to expedite some procedures and get everything in order. We've begun looking forward to going here rather than dread the dentist. The team is professional. Ashley Brockington manages and runs the show here and she's great. She helped us schedule everything in an order that made sense and worked for us. She discussed finances, and has been easily accessible with any questions. Her alone, is the reason we are loyal to this office. She also helped with referrals for oral surgery as-well. Highly recommend.

This practice still continues to be the best. Amazing. Great staff, check up was the most in depth I have ever had. Highly recommended this practice. Still on the top if my list. Continues to be the best !! Still a wonderful experience Gracie was in and hung out with me. Victoria is a fantastic human. I find everyone from the front desk helpful and personable. Still excellent. Just had my new cap placed, I want to state that it went perfectly. Once again everything went well and everyone continues to be a joy to interact with. They are a solid team from the front desk to the dental technician as well as the dentist. You still ROCK!!! Always pleased and enjoy everyone.

Office staff very friendly. Very few people in office. Lots of staff, can hear them talking. But I don’t know how many dental areas are in the office. I do know that you wait, and wait, and wait. Then after waiting 45 minutes to see dentist, he said ‘Hello’ and left for an additional 30 minutes. Once Dr Handsome started, he used a gel to numb the gums. Then approached with the syringe to inject the local anesthetic. I HAVEN’T HURT LIKE THAT SINCE I WAS 11 YEARS OLD! That’s when I refused to go back and see our dentist, who painfully injected, did the work, then you got numb on the way home. Dr Handsome doesn’t wiggle your cheek or anything to make the injection easier. I was immediately put back in 11 year old PTSD, something I had never experienced before. When I said something, he became snippy and asked if I wanted the implant or not? I’d already paid him $4000, you bet your life I want that implant! Just wished it was with a compassionate human. Go elsewhere! Money is the only object here and all Anya’s other offices!
