I explained to Dr. Nick Baumann that I in fact hate Dentists and that even teeth cleaning is just something I can't stand. Dr. Baumann listened to me and explained that teeth cleaning was done quite differently now and that he assured me it was not painful and I would not be scraped with archaic tools, just the power of water. Every step of the way the Hygienist was kind, calming and very good at her job. It was not painful at all and I will go to get my teeth cleaned every 4 months from now on. This is the best Dentist I have been to in my life and I am no longer afraid. I have just 1 more visit tomorrow to take care of the only 2 issues I have (Yea).

Dr Kavett did a thorough analysis and advised that I do nothing and recommended that I go see an ENT doctor since the findings clearly showed that my tooth was not causing my ear pain. I really appreciate the honesty in the evaluation where the center obviously lost money trying to help my condition. I would strongly recomend this center to anyone looking for a dentist that is looking to do the right thing rather than capitalize on someone's situation to make money. Thank you to the entire staff.

Dear Dr. Cartter, I am writing to express my deep…read morefrustration and disappointment with the dental implant work performed at your clinic, which in my opinion has been both unreasonably expensive and grossly unreliable. In total, I paid approximately $50,000 for a full-lower dental implants under the assumption that I was receiving high-quality, long-lasting treatment backed by professional integrity and care. However, less that three years after the procedure, the implants have failed not once, but twice. This is completely unacceptable for a procedure of this magnitude and cost. Each time the implants have broken, I have been left not only dealing with the physical pain and inconvenience, but also with an emotional and financial burden that should never have been necessary - especially after paying a premium price for what was supposed to be permanent, top-tier dental work. To make matters worse, when I sought accountablity and assistance from your office regarding these failures, you and your staff have refused to stand by your work. I find this deeply unethical and disappointing. Patients who invest their trust - and signifacant financial resources - in your care deserve better. Frankly, I feel taken advantage of and cheated. I am requesting a full explanation of what went wrong with the procedures and materials used. I sincerely hope you will take this opportunity to do the right thing and restore some faith in your practice. Scott A. Sherman
