I’m 100% satisfied with the amazing service this facility and staff treated me with. Needed all 4 of my wisdom teeth pulled and they right away gave me an appointment for a consultation and with in 2 weeks later I had an apt for my surgery! Dr Nordloff is so caring! You can tell he genuinely cares for his patients and loves his job. The rest of the staff are also very professional & nice. The day of my surgery they made me feel so comfortable and explained every single step of how things would go down! They even called me the day after to ask how I was feeling. If I could make this my primary dentist for any work needed on my teeth I 100% would!!! 20/10 *

Dr. Andres Herrera is a very compassionate, kind and caring doctor. He explains in detail what he will be doing so you know exactly what to expect. I have had many procedures done by Dr. Herrera and so has my family I wouldn't go to anyone, but Dr. Herrera. His assistants are also great and they know what they are doing. I have total trust going in for procedures knowing that I am going to the top Dr. and having his assistants that go above and beyond to make sure you are comfortable at all times. I recommend Dr. Herrera to anyone that is looking to have this type of service.
