My dental hygienist is so good that she had to keep waking me up so I would hold my mouth open.

I highly recommend this dental office! Everyone is so friendly, welcoming, and professional. From the moment you walk in, you feel like you’re being welcomed by family. The entire team is kind, caring, and attentive, while still providing excellent and professional dental care. It’s rare to find a place where you feel both comfortable and confident in the care you receive.

There seems to always be something always wrong in the billing department. I feel like I go through this about once a year. Insuranc mixups, then wrong billing, or not having more information on file, or something else. They wanted me to send pictures of my Insurance cards. I guess that makes it easier for them instead of a conversation where they can collect that information. Also not every senior citizen sits around all day taking and sending photos over their phone. So not so easy a task. All that could have been avoided if the billing employer did not leave so early. I may try another dentist to see if they make it this hard.
