Dr. Longoria is incredibly responsive. I called on a Friday after hours and she called me right back, looked at photos and reassured me that all was well. On a later visit, I had questions that the hygienist couldn’t answer. She came right over and not only answered them but did the treatment herself. I can’t say enough good things about her.
