“Professional and friendly service. The hygienist is extremely nice and helpful. Highly recommended.” – Noor Alani
“I love this dentistry. The staff is always so welcoming and they all work great with my kid. On top of it they explain everything before doing something. Each time I’m in there they always offer new tips or what I could try differently to get better results. Their preventive care to cavities is amazing. Dr. Pokala is the best. She is always asking how everyone in my family is doing and how our vacation time is going or how my schooling is going. I encourage people to go here for their kids.” – Cassia Fabiana
