It goes to show you don't know what you are missing. This office exceeded my expectations. Dr. Taylor made sure all my concerns were addressed. Tiffany, the hygentist made sure I was always comfortable. My procedure to replace a crown was uneventful and quick as he didn't have other patients he was seeing at the same time like I experienced at other office. Dr. Taylor made sure I didn't experience any pain or discomfort. The cost of the work I needed was far less than what I was quoted at prior dentist office.
Thank you for providing excellent patient care! It is not always easy to find!”
