    My son loved his 1st cleaning too!

    Perfection! Relaxing and lovely office! Friendly staff and excellent treatment. Dr Tapia is very professional and kind. Thank you! Can't wait for my next cleaning! Don't hear that very often.

    Maria Elena Tapia is one of a kind, and her staff is just as warm, friendly, thorough and competent.

    Dr. Levine is amazing. When I first went to her, on a referral from a trusted friend, I was an…read moreanxious mess. I have a hard time at the dentist and usually just avoided it all together so naturally I needed a lot of work. Dr. Levine and her staff were so nice, accommodating and gentle. She explained everything to me and made sure my questions were answered. There are nice tv screens with Netflix on every chair which offered a nice distraction while she fixed my neglected teeth! My smile has never looked better now and I am no longer a ball of anxiety when I sit in the chair. I recently had the privilege of seeing and meeting Dr. Moncayo and was equally impressed. She was so nice and caring. If you need a dentist, I highly recommend this office!!

    My wife started working with Dr. Carly long before she had purchased this practice from Dr. Francis…read morein Jan 2016. Since the purchase, Dr. Carly had gutted the old office, and the word remodel doesn't even come close. She has incorporated all of the latest and greatest technology and creature comforts. It feels more like a high-end spa than a dental office. You've got iPads and Netflix or Pandora in every room or noise cancelling headphones if you like. Personally, I prefer to just kick back in the comfy chairs and disconnect for a little while. There have been so many advances in dentistry over the past few years and Dr. Carly has made sure she added them all. She's got the "wand", a painless anesthetic delivery system, digital x-rays, and a micro camera that gives you an up-close view as she works. I really haven't seen anything like it! BUT, it really is the staff that separates this place from all other practices. I have never met a greater bunch of people in my life, and I am not just saying that because I am married to one of them! :) I would never have taken the time to write a review for someone that I didn't believe in whole-heartedly and whom I trust implicitly with the health of my wife and baby girl. I encourage you to check out Dr. Carly's office for yourself! Book a free office tour or talk to the staff. You'll see exactly what I mean!

    I have going to this wonderful Dental Spa and Dr. Watanabe for at least 18 years. Always the best!!…read moreThis last time was just beyond the pale: I started to need serious deep teeth cleaning recently after having to miss a few appointments during Covid. Slowly, and confidently, the good Doctor has been working to resolve my bleeding gums, plaque filled teeth, etc. After my last DEEP CLEANING a few weeks ago, wow! I have absolutely no bleeding for probably the first time in my life. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER and am willing to drive 7 hours to see her!

    I've been going to see Dr. Watanabe for years based off of a recommendation and she is top notch in…read moreher field of dentistry. She offers of warm and inviting atmosphere and her personality is very upbeat and kind and professional, she has state of the art equipment for example to create a tooth on the spot if needed and having just brought my 13-year-old in to see her for a cleaning my daughter has never said before now that she enjoyed the dentist! She really liked it and it changed her opinions of going to the dentist! For example my 13-year-old, was given a warm towel for her neck and her eyes to be covered while Dr. Watanabe cleaned her teeth. There's music and a fountain it going as well as the TV is on to underground aquarium or sea life... And she left with a little goodie bag. I highly recommend this dentist and her company to anyone who has kids, teenagers and for themselves!
