Summary written from recurring themes in public Google reviews, paraphrased rather than copied.
I’ve been going to Dentalville since I started my braces procedure. They’ve been great at working with me to get to my appointments. It’s never too busy at the office and the people who work there are so so nice. I’m so happy my medical provider referred me to this dentist as it’s been the best dental experience I’ve had. I think it’s now under a new name though. So far so good.
