patient reviews
This is hard for me to say especially since I have anxiety with dentist and have had bad experience with other dentist. Here I had none of that and they worked with me the whole way through knowing my level of anxiety associated with my past experiences. Highly recommend
Steve
Very good experience here, office was mellow, relaxing, and staff was amazing from the minute I was greeted by front desk and spoke with hygienist to when Dr. Hlavaty was extracting my wisdom tooth. I highly recommend them

Andrea K.
I had the best experience at a dental office. Staff extremely professional, spacious office, calm environment, and an amazing capable dentist. I felt not only in good hands but also very relaxed and comfortable.
Fabiana A.
Saw me on a emergency referral. Made the pain go away and also handled my less than capable pharmacist to make sure i got my meds. Couldn't sing his praises enough.
Nicholas L.
The hygienist diligently remove years of plaque buildup. Thank you! Dr. Shawn is first dentist to offer me a solution for a gap in my back teeth that always traps food. Love the TV on the ceiling! Beautiful new office, great team.
