I had the worst experience with unorganized & unfriendly staff.
Dr. Manus is very professional & caring. I had treatment with another dentist. Treatment fine but condescending staff!

Literal Lifesavers!!! The crown on my top front tooth snapped off mid-afternoon, and they managed to squeeze me in around other patients (I was only too happy to work around others).. With their new-tech and a great dental team, I walked out with a new crown and a gap-less smile. Thank you so much!!!!

I can't speak for all dentists at this practice but the dentist .. Alex, that i was unfortunate enough to have an appointment with, I do not recommend to anyone. I've had the same procedure done three times by other dentists and I've never experienced rudeness and cruelty like I did at this appointment. I'd rather put up with pain then return here.

Dr.Matthew McPolin is great. He is really trying hard to help me solve my problem. Though it is the first time to see him , he is the one I trust. He's very patient and caring. I am very happy to have the experience with such a great dentist.

I regret coming here and wish I read reviews prior. The dentist was quite rough when doing a filling, for weeks I had pain from the filling, Ive never had such a painful filling in my life. I was to afraid to come back because the dentist was so rough. No numbing gel applied prior to him injecting my mouth with local, most painful injection Ive ever had. I attended another dental clinic and they have been great, the dentist did a much more thorough examination, as I found this dentist missed a couple things that I am now being treated for, I had another filling done and he did everything
