First time there last fall after recommended by several friends. I'm never happy to go to the dentist, but I was very impressed with the office staff and Dr. Wahl. All smiles.

This is a very nice Dental clinic. Very professional and friendly staff. They make you feel at ease if you seem a little nervous. Prices are not too bad and they accept most major credit cards and insurance. I believe its a family owned business.
