Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr Rick is a wonderful dentist. Very professional and personable. His staff is also very good. Highly recommend him if he didn’t retire.??

The staff is very friendly and professional. The environment is well kept, clean and organized. The doctor was very professional and has extremely soft hands.. I even fell asleep while getting a root canal treatment (seriously). Also great with kids. I totally recommend it to anyone!!
