Dental hygienists are the cornerstone to any dental practice. I didn't realize that till my 15+…read moreyear relationship with mine ended. I had been curious about functional dentistry and a more holistic-minded approach. Pannu Holistic was exactly what I was looking for. The office is a spa experience: - heated eye mask or shades - aromatherapy of your choice - music of your choice - neck pillow - blanket - mood lighting Focusing on prevention and supremely detailed at everything oral hygiene related: - products are made in-house and focused on preserving the microbiome - gentle but detailed work, my teeth have never been so clean! - the tools/techniques employed are so much less traumatizing then in conventional dentistry ie: cotton gauze instead of plastic/foam pieces to dam an area of the mouth - cognizant of comfort and stress level at all times - high awareness - will go over sections of the mouth again despite not officially working on that region/quadrant that day - follows up after appointment to see how I was doing after my deep cleaning - educational and generous with information/time, you never will feel rushed Insurance is not accepted - a super bill is provided. There is no admin person, come with patience for a 1 person show! Know that each visit will be 1:1 - so private and uninterrupted. Taren is so personal, professional and treats you like an individual. Despite only coming to this office in 2025, I can tell there is a genuine care and soul in this practice. It's not merely work for Taren , it radiates in the way you feel while you are there and every interaction thereafter. A special practice - that has high standards! So glad I found this practice. I look forward to my continued journey and partnership with Taren to improve my oral health.

I see a few recent reviews on here that are critical of Dr. Pearce's successor, Dr. Andre, but I've…read morehad a positive experience with him so far. Yes, in general, he's not as warm as or into small talk like Dr. Pearce was, but Dr. Andre is an excellent dentist. I recently had to have a dental procedure done that I was VERY nervous about and Dr. Andre overheard me telling his front desk staff I was nervous. He came right over, asked me why I was feeling nervous, answered my questions, and really took the time to put me at ease. He was wonderful throughout the whole procedure and I'm very pleased with the results. Thank you, Dr. Andre, and your wonderful staff for making an unpleasant procedure as seamless and pleasant an experience as possible!

I've been coming here for many years--first with the dad and now with the son David. What I…read moreappreciate most is that they don't upsell or pressure you with unnecessary add-ons like a used car lot. I can get in, get my teeth cleaned, and be on my way, which is exactly what most people want since no one truly enjoys going to the dentist. While some reviews mention the office is outdated or that certain things weren't checked, I think that's what makes them great. They focus on what's needed, work with your insurance, and don't push extra cleanings or X-rays. This is the only dentist I've been to that hasn't charged me out of pocket. Also if there is an emergency on their days off, you can leave a message and get an immediate call back.

When I arrived, I was surprised to learn they had no intention of addressing the filling that day--even though I had explained the situation when I booked. At no point did anyone clearly communicate that I wouldn't receive treatment during that visit. This lack of transparency caused me to lose valuable time in addressing a potentially serious dental issue. If they had simply told me upfront that the first appointment would be limited to an exam and not include any treatment, I would have gone elsewhere or made other arrangements sooner. Patients deserve honesty--especially when dealing with urgent dental needs.
