“If you want a comforting, clean, professional dental experience, I’d book your appointment here. You’ll be impressed with their care.”
“I’ve had some pretty terrifying dental experiences in the past, but Dr. Shireman and her hygenists have made routine dental care a pleasant and comfortable experience. They are so gentle- even in cleaning, and they explain everything before they do it. If you’re afraid of dental work- try them out! They’ll ease your fears and leave you with a good experience.”
“I loved Dr. Jessica and her staff! They are fine whether you use fluoride or are more holistic and won’t give you a hard time about either. I went in for a general cleaning after several years of avoiding the dentist for several reasons and was so impressed I asked if the office treats children, which they do.”
