I am a retired hygienist. I very much appreciated the staff. Dr Levi was friendly and knowledgable and answered my questions. He relieved some of my frustration and anxiety about the condition of my tooth. I didn't make another appointment because I am in the process of deciding if best practice is a root canal or an extraction in my case. Dr. Levi presented information I asked for.

Dr. Kinsey was fantastic. He was patient with my questions, and answered all questions clearly. I do not enjoy any dental work, and was nervous about the root canal. Dr. Kinsey calmed those nerves and made the whole process so smooth. I have never had dental work done with so little pain. Even injecting the Novocain was painless because of him!
