Satisfied Patients
Very professional staff and calming atmosphere. I had a tooth extracted yesterday, and they took great care of me. I will be making this my primary location for all dental work!
Dr. Gerken and his team were compassionate and efficient. They explained my dental problem, outlined all of my options, and fit me into their busy schedule for same-day emergency treatment. I highly recommend this dental office!
