I got my teeth cleaned and did an exam today. Amazing every time I go! Dr. Polis listens, cares, and is so knowledgeable. She makes me feel confident in my dental health and that is rare to find! The team is so friendly, caring, and makes you feel welcomed as soon as you walk in the door! Thank you for making my dental appointment a great experience!

When teeth matter to overall health, a dentist should care about patient safety—not just a bottom line. I came in with an active infection, carrying decades of dental anxiety, and was genuinely hopeful that a female dentist would listen. Instead, I was told they wouldn't help unless I could unload gobs of money I don't have for a root canal of the infected tooth, and was told to go elsewhere to clinics I cannot physically get to or afford. Turning away a patient with an active infection is dangerous, negligent, and bad medicine. This consult was literally the worst I have had in 5 years. This isn't patient care; it’s treating human suffering like a financial transaction.
