"I had the best experience with slate family dentistry. The staff is absolutely wonderful very kind and pleasant. Dr. Tyler Slate was great, he was very gentle done a wonderful job. His assistant was great as well she was very kind and answered all my questions. I thank you all so much for taking such great care of me today."
"I had a really great experience at Slate Family Dentistry. The staff was genuinely friendly and professional, making me feel welcome right away. They listened to my needs and provided helpful recommendations without any pressure. It’s nice to find a place where the team truly cares about their customers. I’ll definitely be coming back!"
"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."
"Missy Fine is and has been my hygienist for 30+ years. I have used other practices a time or two due to insurance purposes throughout my life, but no one compared. At this practice I've always received caring and courteous service."
