Amazing staff and treatment. Provided excellent care and clear aftercare directions. The doctors go out of their way to ensure comfort. In addition, the staff was able to provide customized, nonstandard recommendations based upon my personal interests. Definitely recommend!

Never on time. They made us wait too long for every single appointment. We explained we had other commitments and their approach was careless... no consideration for our time ever. Moody receptionists.. I won't return.

The service is friendly and they are concerned about resolving technical issues, however, it is a shame that for a good quality item - in this case a waterpick - the handpiece is practically disposable and when they sell it they ONLY give a one-month warranty, which shows that they are aware that it is NOT good quality.
David King via Google 5.0 out of 5
