I have struggled for many years with dental problems and a fear of the dentist, and I honestly thought nothing could be done. I finally decided I couldn't let embarrassment stop me from getting the smile I wanted. My experience with Dr. Fossett has been absolutely great! He made me feel comfortable right away, took the time to listen to my concerns, and explained how we could make a plan to complete everything in stages--starting with the most important issues first. Now, I look and feel so much better, and all my worries have disappeared. If you're looking for a caring, understanding, and skilled dentist, you will not be disappointed with Dr. Fossett!

    They take advantage of military customers. The Navy sent my husband here for work before he…read moreretired. The billing department continually sent us the bill that was supposed to go to the Navy. When we got a collections letter, we called and they said don't worry about it and that they would send it to the Navy. We continued to get the bills until the second collections letter arrived and we just paid it to be done with it. This has been going on for over 6 months. For those who aren't familiar with military medical, they refer you out to civilian practices when they don't have capacity to get you in. All required medical care is covered by the military for Active Duty personnel. Since my husband was retiring, that's what the Navy did. It was a requirement for his discharge from Active Duty and in no way his responsibility to pay. It's really frustrating that this small business could not get their communication figured out, and now we have to try and get reimbursed $1,000 from the military.

    Okay I'm going to be brutally honest. This will be long. Since I was 12 I've had a phobia of the…read moredentist due to a horrible experience that left me traumatized to the point where I refused to go back to the dentist & now need extractions, fillings, root canals and eventually dentures. I was referred here by another Dental office and was like oh no my luck has run out. The referring Dental office initially broke the ice from my trauma. I took a deep breath and expected the worse and now with the right plan. I can't wait to go back. All you need is a decent insurance and everything will be taken care of. If you don't even have that they are willing to work with you. EVERYONE IS SUPER NICE & PATIENT. And that says a lot coming from me. Pablo is cool AF man! Please if you can come here to get your dental needs taken care of you won't regret it!

    I made an appointment as a first time client. They were nice and accommodating during check in,…read moreX-rays, and a cleaning. The TV was on when I was brought in the room and I asked the technician watching it if he could change the channel away from Fear Factor, since I already have dental anxiety. He was real nice and changed it to a sports channel, which was fine. Then the dentist came in and did an exam and discussed treatments options with me. This is where things turned sour. I was comfortably laying in the dentist chair while the dentist Dr. Al Tekreeti was talking. The TV was still on and the dental chair forces you to look towards the TV. I'm not one who makes firm eye contact, I tend to look away periodically to break it up, and breaking up the eye contact meant moving my eye view to the TV. I did this several times while the dentist was speaking. He was annoyed by this and asked me in a chastising tone, the way a professor would speak to a student, if the TV was more interesting. I was shocked by this behavior and it took me a few seconds to respond. I informed him I have anxiety and eye contact is uncomfortable for long periods. He never seemed to recover from my perceived rudeness and I felt uncomfortable after that. I WILL NOT RETURN! I'm giving a 2 because the XRay tech was so kind. He earned 5 Stars but the Dentist earned zero and even deducted 3. Plus, there was no toilet paper in the bathroom. I forgot to add that the dentist says I have a "new" cavity. I had them show me a picture of the cavity. It's actually a stain on an upper tooth that has been there for at least a decade. ITS NOT A CAVITY. I did second guess myself and got a 2nd opinion with my Veterans Affairs dentist. It's not a cavity.
