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.

Five star review
I looked at the one star review and the person wrote they were very happy and they give her five stars but they only marked one star. Dr. Best appears to be a perfectionist. Very self-confident, Appears to be able to make a very quick and accurate assessment. Definitely is not chasing after the dollar. She made me lose my anxiety for dental work just by her confidence and competence.

Difficult Tooth Repair
Due to a crack tooth with a large filling from a previous doctor a long time ago the repair was difficult. Removal of the old filling would only leave a few millimeters of tooth that if damaged would required a root canal. She was able to repair the tooth without the need for a root canal.

I am very impressed with both dentists in this practice. I initially saw Dr. Best for my exam and cleaning and then had 2 fillings with Dr. Cassandra. She was so compassionate and responsive to my needs. I have a history of having trouble getting numb and she worked patiently with me so that I had pain free treatment. She talked me through ever step and really listened. I am very grateful and highly recommend her and this practice.

From the very first day, all the staff is professional and friendly. The dentist will not suggest a treatment that is not necessary. Ken, office manager is the best I have dealt with anywhere.
