    Kevin has always been very professional and had my wife and my best interest in mind when we have needed dental work!

    I had the best experience with Dr. Ferrari. She fit me in last minute when I cracked my crown on…read morethe first day of my 12 day vacation. She did an amazing job temporarily repairing it for me. I truly appreciated her work and how caring and understanding her team was. 10/10 experience.

    We recently realized that Dr. Ferrari's approach to dentistry is far too aggressive for our family…read more I've worked in dentistry (front office) and am familiar with treatment planning, insurance coverage, and how clinical options should be discussed. Unfortunately, our experiences at this practice over the past year have completely eroded my trust in its communication, transparency, and judgment. 1. Sealants on Adults My husband, who's never had a cavity in 40 years, was told he needed four fillings--and once in the chair, twelve sealants as well. (For anyone counting, that is every single molar and premolar in his mouth.) Sealants aren't covered for adults and cost $76 per tooth here. No printed treatment plan or cost estimate was offered before he was told to sign his consent, only a verbal declaration that fillings were planned before they asked him to sign for it, and then a per-tooth quote on sealants chairside. Had he known the full cost ($500+ out of pocket, followed by another nearly $600 bill when insurance denied the claim), he would never have agreed, especially if given the option to monitor or informed of the next step (fillings, if decay even occurred). I will note that the office waived the difference between the initially quoted discounted dental insurance rates versus the (nearly double) office rate for half the sealants when I pointed out that they had adjusted our balance upwards when insurance denied it. Still, this was an unnecessary and stressful cost, and we would have much preferred to spend that money elsewhere, on our child's education or activities, or, you know, food. No one discussed monitoring as an option, despite his spotless dental history. When we raised our concerns, Dr. Ferrari defended the recommendation by saying she and her kids have sealants--without acknowledging that hers were free and her children's were covered. 2. Painful, Rough Fillings While Dr. Ferrari is excellent at administering anesthesia, she doesn't place her own fillings. Her RDA-EF performs them, and though qualified, the results were rough and uncomfortable. My most recent filling remains sensitive and catches floss--issues I've never had before. Given this and the sudden increase in "needed" work, I now question whether the fillings themselves were even necessary. 3. Poor Follow-Through with Specialist Care My child was referred to an oral surgeon over a year ago, but follow-up was never addressed despite multiple visits since. Instead, attention was repeatedly redirected to diagnosing fillings (which would require an unfamiliar medication!) that our new dentist later said could safely be monitored. The original surgical concern, however, has since become urgent--something that should have been caught months earlier. 4. Scheduling Inefficiency Routine recall exams here consistently require two separate visits--one for the cleaning and another for the exam--because the dentist isn't always available. I understand separating appointments for complex cases, but it's unreasonable for standard six-month visits and adds unnecessary hassle and childcare coordination. 5. Hidden Costs and Local Reputation After leaving the practice, I learned that this office is well known locally for aggressive treatment plans and extra fees. They charge separately for intraoral photos and desensitizers--items typically considered part of standard care--and, in some cases, even added tax. When I mentioned our sealant experience to other dental offices, they immediately knew which practice we'd been referring to. Apparently, we're not the first family to raise these concerns. Bottom Line This office tends to over-diagnose, recommend immediate treatment, and charge full office rates for services not covered by insurance--all without providing printed treatment plans or transparent cost discussions. Expect surprise fees for extras like intra-oral photos and desensitizers, and assume insurance won't cover them. That said, there are a few positives: Dr. Ferrari is genuinely gentle with injections, the office can schedule quickly, and same-day treatment is often available. If you prefer an extremely proactive, "fix everything now" approach and aren't concerned about costs, this practice may suit you. However, if you value conservative care, transparency, and financial clarity, I'd strongly recommend looking elsewhere--or at least: 1) Ask for a printed treatment plan before signing anything. 2) Request full disclosure of alternatives and costs. 3) Schedule your follow-up cleaning when the dentist is available to do the exam. I don't think Dr. Ferrari is malicious, just entirely misaligned with our expectations. While her technical skills may work well for some, for us, this experience was costly, stressful, and not a good fit.

    Had to have a tooth, extracted examination and x-rays were performed. It took longer to fill out…read morethe new client information paperwork that it did to have the work done fast and friendly service . Thanks

    I scheduled to begin seeing this dentist after my previous dentist retired. I was not having any…read moredental issues at the time and had previously had just two cavities which were filled, one which was very small. During my first appointment with Dr. Morley, he said there were two more cavities, one of which was on the tooth which previously had a small filling. He offered to fill them the next day and during that appointment kept saying he did not want to drill so deep that a root canal would be needed. After my fillings, the tooth he was concerned about was very sensitive and I returned to Dr. Morley because of that same tooth having a tooth ache. He did not see anything on the x-ray but offered to do a root canal which I declined. After this, I went to another dentist to continue care elsewhere. The new dentist expressed shock that such a deep filling would be needed considering the good condition of my teeth. He confirmed with an x-ray that the filling performed by Dr. Morley went too deep into the tooth and referred me to a root canal specialist. The specialist confirmed the tooth had died and I would need a root canal. I can't help but think my results would have been different if I had gone to another dentist for this filling. To go from having just two cavities and no dental pain to now needing a root canal because of the filling performed by Dr. Morley is disappointing. I deeply regret seeing this dentist.

    Anna is amazing! This is my first experience with Accupuncture. I was somewhat apprehensive at…read morefirst since I absolutely despise needles. I'm a big dude with a high pain threshold, so its never the pain part that bugs me its the feeling of a needle under the skin that gets me. The amazing part is you can literally barely feel the needles at all pain wise and you can't feel them under your skin like you do regular needles like when you get your blood drawn. I'm going to try to quantify the pain scale in hopes it helps some one. As far as needle pain/ discomfort the acupuncture is a 1 on the scale. I would say a finger prick for a blood test is a 5. I would say a needle in your arm for drawing blood is a 6. I would say needles for dental work are a 7. Epidural and 8. And Radio Ablasion needles are a firm 10. A papercut or using a needle to get a sliver out of your finger are 10x more painful than these needles. Literally I did not notice most of them going in! Now, as far as atmosphere, it is very quiet and peaceful. Anna make you feel very comfortable. She has that "old soul" vibe that instantly give you trust. She took the time to understand my story and background before cutting to the chase. I appreciate that because it is the mark of a good practioner. It means they will cater there treatment plan instead of using a 1 size all approach. I am writing this review the same day as my appointment, so I cant testify to the long term benefits yet obviously. However, I can say that I absolutely do feel better than when I walked in! I would describe the feeling as similar to that of when you are done with a massage. Kind of like you get your blood flow back and a pleasant tingling and feeling of oxytocin. There is absolutely no pain caused by the treatment itself. It has been hours so far and the feeling is still present. The reason I am writing this review now, rather than waiting after more treatment, is because I was so impressed with Anca and her gentleness. I plan on updating review again in the future after I have had more treatments!

    Anca is amazing! Has helped my back tremendously! Specially, my shoulders and neck and lower backread more
