My family and I have been seeing Dr. Ligad for over 10 years, and we trust her completely. She’s thorough, honest, and consistently provides excellent care, including thoughtful referrals when needed. Her assistant is also wonderful—friendly, attentive, and always makes us feel comfortable. We’re grateful to have a dental team we can rely on.

Dr. Ligad is the best dentist ever! I feel very cared for as she makes sure to do a deep cleaning and I know all of the plaque that I can’t get to is taken care of. She also takes the X-rays and takes the time to discuss findings and review at home care of my dental hygiene in depth.
