Words from our Community
“I get somewhat nervous about having dental work done and tend to get very anxious! Dr. Bass and the girls are patient with me and do everything to put my nerves at ease. Fender, the office emotional support dog, is awesome and attentive when I need him. It’s always a pleasant experience from the front desk to the back. I can’t imagine going elsewhere for my dental care.”
