I'm a senior and no stranger to dentists. Dr. Taylor has worked improving my issues diligently, fairly and with great skill. His office staff are always helpful and very personable.

I switched dentists from Dr Barsanti to Dr Taylor about a year ago and I couldn't be happier. Dr…read moreTaylor is thorough and a great dentist. He listens and gives clear and helpful tips on how to maintain oral health. Kay is an outstanding dental hygienist. She takes time to really clean my teeth, better than any cleaning I've had in over 10 years. Since she's been my hygienist my gum/periodontal health has improved. Between Kay & Dr Taylor, I'm in good hands! And then there is Lori, their dental insurance guru. She is extremely skilled in dealing with insurance companies and is so patient and understanding of challenges with insurance billing. I've had a great experience at this business and I highly recommend Dr Taylor to anyone who wants to maintain a high standard of oral health. It's just the team you want on your side caring for your teeth!

I can wear headphones and rock out to my own music while he's working and that's so helpful for me. I had a complicated extraction and the procedure was pain free. I didn't even feel the novocaine sticks from the needle. That was new for me! I was thrilled! He's got an extremely gentle hand and I will continue to see him for anything I need done! My results were fantastic, I highly recommend him. Update: just had another visit because I broke a tooth a couple weeks ago. Another pain free wonderful experience. He's cured me from my dentist anxiety! The man is a magician.

I was shocked to see there were any bad reviews on here. This is the best dental office I have…read moreever been to. I started going to Dr. Kwon a few years ago. Unlike my old dentists, Dr. Kwon explains everything very thoroughly, gives you your options with the pros and cons, and spends as much time with you as needed to answer your questions. I think she is a great dentist, and she cares about her patients. I do not see any issue with her bedside manner. I have composite on my front tooth. She did a great color match. You can't even see the lines to see what is tooth and what is composite. Caleb is usually my dental hygienist. Unlike other places, this office really cares about your oral hygiene. Instead of cleaning and sending you on your way, they also educate you on things you need to be doing better, want to know your habits, and generally care about your teeth. And the other person I deal with a lot is Vanessa, the front office person. She is sweet as can be! One thing I really like is when she schedules an appointment she writes right on the card how much the upcoming appointment will be. There are no surprises at this office whatsoever. On top of that, if there is any other work you need done, they will print up a proposal of what you need done with the price list all broken down by item. Then you sign it and they keep a copy. So there are no hidden costs. I'm not sure where that comment came from or if things changed from the past. I would highly recommend Dr. Kwon!

The office is welcoming and filled with friendly, positive staff who make every visit enjoyable. I had such a great experience that I quickly convinced my husband to start Invisalign with Dr. Enriquez as well. I'm so glad he did. The positive changes have been incredible. His teeth are now perfectly straight, and seeing the transformation has helped him regain his confidence. My husband followed all of Dr. Enriquez's instructions, and the results speak for themselves. I highly recommend this office to anyone looking for exceptional care and outstanding results. Dr. Enriquez and his team strive for perfection, and it shows in every aspect of the patient experience.

Our first child is finished and now he has a great smile, with his teeth perfectly aligned. Our second boy is in the final stages with the same results. The work is professional, the staff is always polite, flexible, and helpful. The facilities are modern, with muiltiple locations available, in the event of restricted dates available for appointments, as in our case. And as a final note, the cost is paid in a one time payment at the beginning, with absolutely no other costs afterwards, which gives us an exact number that treatment will cost, and no suprises following treatment.
