Dr. Swanson and his team were great to work me in for an extraction when I was experiencing a very painful abscess tooth. Dr. Swanson was so caring and skilled. I am very appreciative!!!

I had a tooth that needed extracted. Two other dentists stated they would not touch it. This man got it out in less than 2 minutes and I never felt anything at all. I was not in the building even a total of 15 minutes and the cost absolutely reflected that. He has sense of humor that apparently does not fit everyone ( according to reviews) but I appreciate a good sense of humor. No issues following.
