What patients say
4.9Google rating, 327 reviews
Booked a Saturday cleaning online on a Thursday night. Maya texted the next morning to confirm. Rosa explained every step to my six-year-old, who now asks when we're going back.
The price on the website was the price on my bill. $395 for the exam, X-rays and cleaning, no insurance, no surprises.
Dr. Tran did my crown and it fits perfectly. Wednesday evening times fill up about two weeks out, so plan ahead if you work days.
