We had a wonderful experience here. Everyone here was so adept at caring for children. They were so patient in explaining each thing they were doing to my sons. I am so grateful to have such a caring practice for my children. I would recommend to anyone looking for a pediatric dentist.

My Daughter is a patient of Dr McGary who is a phenomenal pediatric dentist and is very gentle and explains everything to my daughter prior to doing anything. I also have had the pleasure of working directly with Leesa for my daughter’s orthodontics and she is an extremely organized and compassionate women. It is absolutely a pleasure working with her and can not say enough good things about her she is the best.

I was fortunate to go to this office as a child. Naturally when my daughter needed a dentist I chose this office again. My daughter had her first dentist appointment at 2 years old. The hygienist was great with her. She explained everything that she was doing with her and allowed my daughter to warm up to the tools. Her dentist was also great with her. Everyone was friendly and gentle. Thank you!

My son has been a patient here for 3 years and we've had a great experience at each appointment. The staff and Dr. McGary are so friendly and patient. They go out of their way to ensure kids are comfortable and happy. They also had excellent COVID protocols in place at our visit today.

My daughter has been going here since she was 3 years old, she is now 13. I called to schedule an appointment for her and was told her she has been "dismissed from the practice due to missed appointments". Her father and I are divorced and he was responsible for dentist visits and I doctors. Apparently there were 6 missed visits (but rescheduled ) since 2016... so she's been patient for 10 years ... rescheduled 6 missed appointments and you will no longer accept her as a patient ? Gladly taking my daughter and business elsewhere and will NEVER recommend this practice to anyone.
