My 11 year old daughter just recently had to have her baby teeth extracted, and Dr. Cruz was so incredibly patient and gentle. She was so nervous and he put her mind at ease with his compassionate and caring words. He had her smiling all while talking through the process in a kid-friendly and relatable way. He was excellent about monitoring how she felt and took her lead on each step of the procedure. We are so grateful!

I believed all the awesome reviews here, but there's a catch. Before you can enjoy this supposedly wonderful business, you must first get them to keep your appointment!
My dental insurance changed and so I had to change dentists. It took months to get my first appointment. Then they cancelled days before and couldn't reschedule for 2 months. Today I got a call (from a very nice person) saying that appointment was also being cancelled but they can't see me now until April, 3 months from now.
I can't take the chance that this will continue, and obviously new patients are not a priority for this practice. Good thing everyone else is happy. For now.

I have had 2 appointments with Dr. Cruz for fillings. I felt no pain. He was always checking to see if I was ok. (Since I have anxiety) He takes the time to answer all my questions. He explains things clearly. His assistant is also very caring and attentive. I would highly recommend this practice.

Dr. Cruz was skilled and knowledgeable and created a partial porcelain crown while I waited with amazing digital 3-D technology. The staff and all providers at the office are welcoming and professional. I would highly recommend.

Chris is the best hygienist I've ever had. She's very thorough but gentle. My teeth always feel great after a visit with her.
