Dr miller and Cas are amazing. They have extracted two of my teeth now and despite my major dental anxiety they worked with and were firm in the need to remove the decayed teeth. I would not have went through with it had they not worked so well with me. I will never use another dentist.

I want to personally thank Emily H. aka “Jam” for being so caring, patient, and supportive through my dental journey. She made my experience so much easier to get through. I’m forever grateful 💜

I had an abscess tooth, my face was swollen and I was in so much pain. I called to make an appointment, couldn't get one for almost a week, so I took my own antibiotics and got rid of the infection before the appointment. I still went, because I need to have the tooth removed. They were supposed to send this to my insurance to see how much I'd have to pay out of pocket and give me a call..... It's been almost 2 months and I haven't heard a word back from them. I'll be finding a different dentist.

My son had his wisdom teeth removed, and despite being told I could stay until he fell asleep, the doctor abruptly asked me to leave the moment he arrived even though my son wasn't out yet. The nurses then made unprofessional comments about me after I left that my son heard and then they laughed about it including calling me a "helicopter mom" and then he told me they used profanity while getting him in the wheelchair. While the procedure was efficient, the bedside manner was lacking. I would caution others, especially parents of sensitive children, any children with disabilities, or matter of fact any child at all because it's uncalled for so I would say to consider an alternative. Because my son heard all of this, and I didn't tell my son anything about the things he heard me say to the doctor, all while the doctor is sayingI have to go, times up get out we're on a time limit here, he's asleep I was trying to explain well sir he can't be because literally when he walked in she was injecting my son. I thought I could stay in there until he fell asleep because that's what I was told. Thankfully everything went well during surgery but I didn't get to get a proper goodbye just to my son so while he is supposedly out, he heard all of that uncindness then all of the bashing by the nurses when I moved from the front waiting area to the closest one to my son. Please consider going somewhere else if you want some kindness and a better bedside manner. I don't usually ever ever ever leave a review but for the next parent please consider somewhere else. I'm thankful my child is older but I could not imagine a younger child sitting there listening to someone bash their parent. My son he said he kept trying to say don't talk about my mama like that but he said words couldn't come out of his mouth. My son is a child of God and he along with our entire family is praying for this facility to learn to love and show kindness.

Very shady ppl , rude , they will ignore you when you have left several messages every couple days , after consultation they won’t call you for appointment you have to call them to have them call you . They will dismiss you as a patient even for medical emergencies or sickness if you cancel . The oral surgery manager is the worst and doesn’t care about anyone . There was only one great person there he was the dentist but I don’t remember his name he was older gentleman he use to own his own practice but now works under this horrible establishment . I’d suggest if you don’t have to use them don’t !!!!!
