Had a tooth abscess. Provided me with the best options to take care of the tooth but I opted to just get it pulled. Pulled the tooth very fast, numbed me up good and felt no pain. Will be coming back for preventative care. Also would like to mention he got me in same day!

I had been ignoring a tooth that needed extraction for a few weeks and could take no more. Found this office on line. When I called for an appointment I did not expect to get in today and I expected I'd have to have an exam and come back at a later date. I got an appointment, was taken back immediately, and they took care of it right then. This is probably the most efficient Dr. Office I have ever been to. They even brought me advill before pulling the tooth to be sure it had time to kick in. I was treated warmly like a human being who needed help rather than the 2:00 appointment for extraction

This place is amazing!! The staff is so sweet and professional. Dr. Jirovec is amazing. I called because I had a TERRIBLE toothache. I was able to come in that day and get treatment done. I will be returning for my normal cleanings.

I had a childhood fear of going to the dentist, so finding a safe, friendly and affordable place was the top of my priority. Dr.Jirovec took great care with me and explained and answered all my questions. i went in with a bunch of nerves and anxiety but left feeling better about my teeth and knowing i have a friendly dentist I can go to!

Was hesitant because I needed an emergency filling and my dentist couldn't fit me in. These guys did an exceptional job. Wouldn't hesitate to get care here again.
