Update (1/13/16): Went in to get my 4 fillings done and to get the dental impressions for my night…read moreguard. The whole process went really well. My mouth was so numb that if Dr Broas had told me all my teeth had magically disappeared I would have believed him. Brianna assisted him, and they worked together in what appeared to me (the uninitiated) as perfect coordination. So once again, thank you for a stress- and pain-free dental experience! ___________ Two days ago I had an appointment at a different office in the Mid-Peninsula Medical Center, and I noticed a sign for this new dental office, showing they were now open. I wandered into the cheerily lit waiting room and made an appointment for two days later. It was my lucky day. Dr. William Broas (pronounced "brahss") recently opened the practice and is seeking new patients. He is a quite friendly and brisk, has been around the DDS community for many a year. Jennifer, the dental hygienist, was quick and knowledgable in her skill and trade, and made me feel at ease during the whole cleaning process. This is very important to me as I have TMJ, and the cleaning can be painful--but it wasn't at all! Caitlyn, the receptionist, was also delightful and efficient. When I set up my follow up appointment for my fillings and fitting for a mouth guard, she had all of the costs printed out, waiting for me so that I'd know what to expect. If you need a dentist, definitely give these folks a call!

I don't like leaving negative reviews, but I feel this experience needs to be shared. The staff…read morethemselves were professional and courteous, and the office appeared clean. However, during my appointment, two different people took my X-rays. It seemed like the first person might have been in training, because several images had to be retaken before a more experienced staff member stepped in. I've never had so many X-rays redone in one visit, which was frustrating and concerning. Then, as I was leaving the office and walking through the building's main entrance, I saw a mouse stuck in a glue trap right by the front door. That was disturbing and left a bad impression. To be clear, the mouse and trap were not inside the dental office itself, but at the main entrance to the building where the practice is located. Still, it added to an overall uncomfortable experience

The staff is all very nice. I typically get the same hygienist every time I go in and she and Dr. Artzer both work pretty quickly in my opinion. Dr. Artzer is definitely a magician of some sorts. I have required local anesthesia on a couple of procedures and the first time I was so shocked he got the needle in my mouth and me numbed and I literally just thought he was looking at my tooth. I've been to a dentist where the numbing process was so rough they sent me home for the day with no procedure so this is much appreciated. The billing specialist, Pam, I believe always walks you through any bills incurred and it's never like they are trying to nickel and dime or up sell. I have been in a few times during the pandemic and this office has maintained exemplary precautions. I will definitely be back obviously.
