I have huge anxiety when it comes to dentists because it involves pain and trusting the doctor is making the right calls.
I came to Water Brook to find a staff & Dentist who are kind, welcoming, and take their time to explain what they found in teeth scans.
The Dentist: Dr. Marlene Shaw is an incredibly kind and thoughtful woman. She took her time to explain to me my specific tooth health without chastising me about my habits. She showed me my cavities & gave me options. When it came to the fillings, she was THE BEST at pain management. She made sure I was pain free. Even just cleanings she applies some temporary numbing gel to sensitive teeth as she cleans. She is just great. I was so nervous and after seeing her a few times now, i’ve learned to trust that she will take care of me and make sure I’m not in pain or discomfort. I recommend her so much. I have also seen her work with neuro divergent people, and she was so great with them. Patients seem comfortable. Her office is never crowded or noisy. Love her practice. (: I think I’m going to bring some flowers to her office just to say thank you for making dentist visits so much better.

I had a wonderful experience with Water Brook Dental Clinic.
The doctor and staff were Professional and knowledgeable. During my consultation with the dentist, she gave great advice and suggestions on how to take good care of my own teeth and the rest of my family. They took excellent care of me.
I would refer Brook Dental to anyone who is looking for a caring and professional service. They are my number one Dental clinic.
