I realized it's been a while since I have updated my review of my favorite dentist on the planet, and figured it's about time I did so.
The staff here really feels like a family. Dr Shockley is always telling jokes, and all the hygienists, receptionists, and dental technicians are so incredibly friendly and welcoming. They always ask about your kids or your dogs and remember what's going on with your life. They also keep meticulous notes about what's going on with your health and your hygiene. I have overactive nerves and an immunity to Novocaine, and they really baby me here. I used to get nitrous just for getting my teeth cleaned, but they do such a fabulous job here that my anxiety around dentistry has really diminished over the years and I no longer need it. I do still have them numb my gums before my cleaning and use the ultrasonic tool to help avoid uncomfortable poking around with the metal scratcher.
The view here is is as incredible as the work they do -- All of the rooms overlook a creek and have busy bird feeders right outside the window.
And within the last few years, the menagerie grew to include a super sweet and softy hypoallergenic doggo, Quincy.
Not only does Quincy provide some delightful pet therapy, I am encouraged to bring my super snuggly chihuahua for emotional support at my appointments. He always gets tons of snuggles from the staff.
I really went through the ringer with the dental difficulties as a youth, and I'm so grateful to have finally found a painless practice that really puts its patients first.
They've done a great job with covid protocols here, and I was thrilled to hear that all the staff were able to get vaccines as soon as they became available. I definitely feel super safe here. read more
