Great experience here! I saw Dr. Ross today. He was fantastic. Very thorough, friendly and he explained everything he was doing as he went. He and his staff were friendly and a pleasure to talk to. They do seem to be quite busy here so plan accordingly. I’m “self pay” and the prices seemed reasonable especially considering what a great job they did.
Dr. Ross and Staff are great! I couldn’t have found a better dentist.
