I went to Dr. Wagner for my constant pain in my jaw, and she cured it in no time at all! She spent alot of time with me, doing a very thorough exam, and then began fixing the problem patiently and confidently. She is gifted with a great ability to understand whats happening in your mouth and then getting it better. I am sleeping better and eating without pain for the first time in nearly a year. She's a wonderful dentist and very warm and caring person. I wish I could give more than just 5 stars! Thank You Dr. Wagner!

I brought my daughter to Dr. Wagner, after seeing lots of doctors. Our ENT encouraged us to see Dr. Wagner and said that if anyone could get her head pain and jaw problems well, it was this dentist. We were so happy with the time she spent with us and how much she cared. We are following her treatment and my daughter is feeling so much better. You are our angel.

Dr. Wagner is amazing! I did not experience any pain or discomfort during the dental work. She was also very caring, personable, and made me feel very comfortable during the procedure. The office staff support was also fantastic. The best dental experience ever!

While I've only had one visit so far, I know that the rest will be the same! Dr. Wagner is a fantastic doctor with a great bedside manner and extensive knowledge. Not only is she easy to talk to but I had no issues or fears in discussing any questions or concerns about my visit. All of the office staff are kind. I've dealt with others in the past where the doctor is great but the staff weren't so it would make me not want to see the doctor. That isn't the case here. The entire office is great and I look forward to continuing my TMJ treatment at this practice.
