Have not had a good experience in a dentist office in a while, until today. Dr. Mueller and her assistant was awesome. They both were so helpful, which demonstrated they cared and I mattered. I know when it gets busy its easy to rush and fumble in certain areas with your patients. Nevertheless, the customer service was phenomenal. You both took time with me and was very passionate, It was appreciated. Thanks a lot ladies.

Im very disappointed in this community based dental clinic. I went in to see the dentist and was told I needed an extraction. I insisted on have the missing tooth replaced with something immediately. I work in dental so I suggested an extraction and placement of a bridge. I was told to summit my insurance and come in with income info. I was giving an estimate and was told that the dr will contact me. Almost 3 months later and 2 doses of antibiotics Dr Carpenter called to inform me that they do not do bridges for Medicaid pt so they couldnt do for me. I dont have Medicaid and I informed

I had such a warm experience there today! I had a lot of concerns to address and everyone took my pain seriously and did their best to help find solutions. I also get really overwhelmed with blood and needles, and the person taking my blood was incredibly kind and patient with me.

I received my COVID vaccine here and it was an excellent experience. Scheduling the vaccine on the call center line took about 10 minutes. When I arrived for the first shot, I was taken for the vaccine a few minutes early and moved through the paperwork phase and then the shot in minutes. The young man administering the shot was cordial, and I hardly felt a thing. I was then shown to a waiting area where a nurse was present for the 15 minute wait. I appreciated having the nurse there. Friends who received their shots at pharmacies said they were told to walk around the store for fifteen minutes
