“My wife had an extraction last month. What a professional and amazing dentist! Thorough exam, answered all of our questions with patience. The procedure itself went so smooth and fast although it was a complicated wisdom tooth removal. She barely had any pain that day and went to work next morning! Will be our family dentist from now on.”
