My family has been going here for general and urgent dental care for more than twenty years. They have a strong focus on preventative and painless dentistry, and I can't say enough about how excellent the support staff are. They handle all the claims and time the visits expertly with a smile and great attention to detail.
I have a lot of stories to tell about this place -- how my husband's terror of dentistry has been hugely diminished, for instance -- or how friendly everyone has been to our son as he's grown up. I consider it a job well done that at 22, he books appointments for every six months and has zero apprehension about having anything done. This is an attitude that will serve him well his whole life, and it doesn't develop without a lot of pleasant dental visits. I often find myself wishing that the way this office handles patients were what we could expect in all other health care encounters; if it were, we'd have much better population health.
This practice also buys equipment that enables them to make dental prosthetics like bruxism splints, which means you can purchase them directly at lower cost. After grinding through several of the softer splints, I purchased an acrylic splint that has served me for several years now.
Special props to Helen the hygienist, who is so gentle and kind that I literally envy her children for having her as a parent. And also of course to Dr. Carlos Patrickson, who started this practice and served as an Army dentist before marrying and raising a large family. You can trust him and all the staff with everything from cleanings and checkups to complex procedures and surgeries.
