"I had a great experience with Dr. Slate on Tuesday. I had some work done on my teeth , they mentioned I needed goggles on for this, said they do water boarding lol. I nearly burst out laughing while he was working on a tooth because of the water splashing and I started thinking about the comment about the water boarding! They are are a hoot 🤪😂😁"
"It is scary to go to the dentist for a lot of people but here they make you feel so comfortable, with their kindness, that you forget you are nervous at all. They work with you to accommodate your needs and they are sensitive to your concerns. I’ll recommend this place to anyone looking for good and friendly dental office."
