I cannot give this team enough praise for the way they conducted my visit. From the very first time I called the office, the receptionist was amazing. She was incredibly empathetic, understanding, and patient after I shared that I had recently had a less-than-great experience with a previous dentist. Before I even arrived for my appointment, she had already communicated everything I shared over the phone to the rest of the team. As someone with severe dental anxiety, that meant more to me than I can express. It allowed me to walk in feeling heard instead of having to relive my concerns all over again. Every member of the team was exceptional—from the dental technicians to the dentists. Everyone treated me with kindness, compassion, and professionalism, making what is normally a very stressful experience feel quick, painless, comfortable and manageable. I genuinely look forward to returning for future care, and I will absolutely be bringing my son here as well. Thank you all for providing such outstanding patient care!!!

Our family has been very happy with Dr Mullins. The hygienists are friendly and efficient. Every appointment has been on time. They’ve never canceled or rescheduled appointments on us. The front desk is great at scheduling. They always get us in quickly and can schedule our family for back to back appointments. When I needed a filling, they got me in and out in 20 minutes, completely pain free!

Going to the dentist is difficult for me, because I have had horrible experiences in the past. Yesterday, I had my first appointment at Cypress Creek and it was 100% amazing. From the front desk to the assistants, hygienists and the dentist himself. Everything was explained, the x rays and cleaning easy and the conversation with all staff was great. I am not stressing about my next appointment at all!

Dr. Mullins absolutely blew me away. He is so kind and gentle. His staff is extremely friendly and helpful! I could not imagine a better experience than what I had at this office. I truly appreciate everything Dr. Mullins and his staff did for me. I would give Dr. Mullins 10 stars if I could!
