Every time I walk in, I feel genuinely cared for, and every time I leave, my teeth feel incredibly clean. Tu has completely changed the way I think about dental care. She takes the time to explain everything about my gums and oral health, making me feel comfortable and informed instead of overwhelmed. She's so gentle but thorough, and I can really tell how much she cares about her patients. My gums have improved so much since seeing her, and I've noticed a huge difference in how healthy and clean my teeth feel after every visit. Dr. Kamalavich himself is also fantastic!! he runs a practice that feels welcoming, professional, and organized. The entire team is friendly, and the atmosphere is so positive that I actually look forward to my appointments (something I never thought I'd say about the dentist!). I truly love this place. It's rare to find a dental office that feels like home, but that's exactly what this one does for me. Thank you to Dr. Kamalavich and Tu for always going above and beyond I couldn't recommend them more! Thank you guys so much!!! :)

Doctor Park is nothing short of incredible. I have always had a lot of anxiety around dentistry and…read moremy fear caused me to neglect my teeth for decades. Now in my 30's that neglect was really beginning to catch up with me and I knew I had to bite the bullet and go in. The first dentist I went to told me I needed a root canal and 4 crowns. I left in tears, I couldn't believe how badly I'd messed up in my younger years. I read through the treatment plan and noticed that the root canal in question was for a cavity that had not reached the pulp, but was close. I started researching to see if a root canal could be avoided. I went to another dentist for a second opinion, who told me I needed a root canal and two crowns. I went to a third dentist that basically said the same. It looked like I wasn't getting out of this without having a root canal - nobody could save my tooth. Then I found Doctor Park. In late January she squeezed me in for a late afternoon appointment to evaluate me. She listened to my concerns and told me that it is definitely possible that a root canal would be needed - she wouldn't know until she got in there to see how bad the infection was, but that she would try to save the tooth if it was a possibility. Aside from that, I needed one other crown and the rest could be standard fillings. She gently told me that I have a lot of work to be done, and she provided me with a treatment plan. She was the first dentist who was willing to look at my situation inquisitively to see what could be done for me, and that day I decided this would be my new dentist. My first appointment for the potential root canal and crown I was so anxious. Literally shaking and twitching in the chair. Doctor Park was so gentle with me. She spoke soothingly and assured me throughout the entirety of the procedure. I left that day with two crowns. She saved my tooth from needing a root canal when nobody else could. She was also able to save me from needing 3 to 5 crowns like the other dentists had recommended. From then on I had an appointment every few weeks to work on other quadrants of my mouth. Each appointment I became less and less anxious, knowing I was in good hands. After a few appointments I began having a TMJ flare up simply due to keeping my mouth open so frequently for the work. I expressed this to her and for my final appointment she checked in with me often and had me close my mouth any time she didn't need it open wide. I still left with TMJ pain but that's just what happens with TMJ, and is no fault of the dentist whatsoever. I ended up getting a script from my primary care physician to relax the tense muscles and now a few days after my last procedure I am good as new and no longer need medications. At my last appointment Doctor Park smiled, high fived me, and exclaimed "we're done!" When I decided in January that I needed to bite the bullet and get my dental work handled after all these years, I never dreamed that by early April I'd be a new woman with a fresh smile. I would recommend Doctor Park to anyone. My husband, who has a similar past dental situation and dental anxiety to me, will be heading to her soon now that he's seen what a positive experience I've had. Doctor Park saved my tooth, and helped me through years of dental anxiety. Go see her, you won't regret it.

I never did have regular cleanings or took care of my teeth my whole life. Moving down here almost two years ago it was finally time to do something about my neglected mouth. Dr. Brisley has helped out so much. He has repaired so many of my teeth in the last two years. Filling after filling and a very good cleaning I can finally smile again. I gained a boost of confidence with what felt like a completely new smile. He really is amazing at what he does. Dr. Brisley makes you feel so at ease and comfortable and when you're in his chair, I guarantee you won't stop laughing. I even had an extraction and never felt the tooth come out and there was barely any pain after wards. It was a huge baby tooth that even he showed off because he was able to extract it all in one piece! After all the work he has done I am finally in Braces. If you really are looking for a great dentist, this is the place to be. Dr. Brisley is an honest man who will tell you what really needs to be done. His motto, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." Emergency? No Problem, Leslie will try to accommodate and get you in the same day. She can answer all your questions over the phone. Both the hygienist are good at what they do best, Cleanings! I've never had any pain or bleeding after any visit. Please don't pass this place up! You may regret it later. Great prices and they even accept most insurances. Overall, I love going to the dentist more than any other office. Your oral hygiene is very important! read more
