My entire experience from start to finish was AMANZING. From Caroline making sure I got in as soon as I needed to, Lae was beyond amazing with her welcome. Jennifer is the BEST, she made me love the dentist again. The office manager is amazing as well, everything ran as smooth as possible. I highly recommend Dr. Crawford and his entire team for all of your dental needs!

I had a great experience! Everyone was so pleasant! From the front desk, lae, the dental assistant, Marlene who took me in to start my exam. The hygienist, Jennifer came in to assess along with Dr. Crawford who came in shortly afterward to explain findings and treatment necessary. They were friendly, professional and clear with all the information I was given! At the end, the office manager, Kejsi and the person who puts my treatment together, Caroline went over my plan, finances, financial options and willing to work with me to be able to get the care I need. Thank you everyone for making this such a great dental experience!

I asked for a consult about doing a dental implant. The sales person that I talked to would not answer if they were in network with my insurance, but pushed to book me in office for what I thought was a consultation. At the visit, the technician immediately started a full set of scans, not just one for the implant tooth. Then they sent in a dental assistant to check my gums and teeth condition and ask about my daily hygiene. Each person said "I understand you want us to take over your dental care", and each time I said "No, I just need someone to do an implant. My regular doctor can do one, but is not available right now." Finally, I was presented only my cost and not a complete breakdown of cost, and asked to sign a consent to treatment. The cost was much, much higher than my dentist. The person checking me out did briefly answer a couple of my questions. I just had full scans done 3 months prior. Insurance will not cover them again. I sure hope that I will not have to pay for those out of pocket! Thank goodness my regular doc is now free and able to at almost half the cost. Don't let them rush or pressure you.

I’ve always had a lot of anxiety about going to the dentist because of bad experiences in the past, so making this appointment was a big step for me. I originally came in for a checkup and a cracked tooth, but I left with so much more: a comprehensive evaluation and a clear plan to get my dental health back on track. I also loved the practice’s use of modern AI technology. It made everything easy to understand, and combined with the spotless office, I immediately felt I was in great hands. The people truly made the experience exceptional. My dental hygienist (Jennifer Aguilar) was incredibly knowledgeable, personable, and absolutely stellar at her job. She made me feel comfortable throughout the visit, answered all of my questions, and my teeth have honestly never felt cleaner! Dr. Crawford had the toughest job of all—extracting THREE of my teeth (along with a couple of fillings). As someone with a genuine fear of tooth extractions, I can’t thank him enough for his patience, thoughtfulness, and skill. He made a procedure I had dreaded feel far less intimidating, and I couldn’t have asked for better care. Yes, some procedures are uncomfortable. Yes, some procedures can be costly. But the professionalism, technology, and compassion I experienced made every dollar feel well spent. If you’ve been avoiding the dentist because of fear or past experiences, I highly recommend Aspen Dental. They completely changed my perspective on dental care, and I’m so grateful I found this team. See you guys in a couple of months! ☺️

The staff at this location are amazing. I always feel so uncomfortable going to new dentist but Evelyn at the front desk makes me feel comfortable from the beginning to the end of my service. MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE is Jennifer the Dental Hygentist. When I say she is AMAZINGGGGGG, I literally love seeing her when I get there. Her vibe is the best. I am happy to have switched to this dentist office.
