The dentists there are GREAT. Very thorough and explained everything very well. I received a Saturday evening phone call from dentist after surgery to check up on me. I have absolutely nothing bad to say about the dentists. They would have gotten 5 stars if it wasn’t for the front desk. I went in for […]

I want to second the experiences that many people have written on this page. The dental care at this office is fabulous. Dr. Koos removed my wisdom teeth and the process was as painless as it could be. From waiting room to chair, they allowed no time for me to panic, were very reassuring, and […]
I just had all my wisdom teeth pulled a few days ago, and this place was perfect for me. First, you walk in and it looks like to walking into a spa. 🙂 Very modern but very cozy. Everyone that works there seemed very nice and easy to talk to. I had Dr. Steven Koos […]
