HORRIBLE SCHEDULING started fixing my teeth in May and they made appointments all into December, never called before to double check on the appointments, never checked my availability, just left me with 5 teeth in my mouth telling me I can only come in if there's a cancelation cause I missed 3 appointments THAT WERE SUPPOSEDLY SCHEDULED ALMOST 6 MONTHS AGO WITHOUT ME KNOWING. Great work but don't expect them to get a hold of you about an appointment
