Like many people I've avoided going to the dentist until absolutely necessary. I wish I had this experience in my youth. The customer service and hospitality at top notch, but the crown jewel of this place is my hygienist, LJ. With skills honed sharper than her tools and hands deft enough to handle pediatric neurosurgery she removed nearly 30 years of neglect from my teeth in short time. No numbing or injections required. I would say her talents are wasted on teeth but it is her passion to change how you smile that makes the visits something to look forward to and not dread. Anyone on the fence about making a difference in how they eat, speak and interact with others please take the first step and get a deep cleaning done here by the best in the business.

I had a great experience with this office. They were able to get me in quickly for an emergency visit when I called, which I really appreciated. The staff was courteous, professional, and welcoming. Dr. Nickolas was very thorough in explaining the situation and referred me to an oral surgeon for further evaluation. I was so impressed with the care I received that I scheduled a cleaning appointment to become a new patient of the practice.
Went here for routine exam and cleanings which should be covered 100% with insurance but they tell you that you need a deep cleaning and laser treatment. I didn't notice any major difference with the laser treatment nor cleaning and got stuck with a $500 bill. Absurd. Look at the reviews and try them yourself. Everyone needs a deep cleaning.
I had great experience today! The office was very clean, professional, and thorough. The staff was so kind and welcoming. Dr. Nickolas and Hygienist Nina were amazing. They made me feel very comfortable throughout the visit. Highly recommend!
Amazing! Ran on time. Gave an excellent cleaning. The dentist was attentive. This is the dentist I wish I had found earlier. An honest, attentive dentist is rare these days. Love Dr Reid. Thank you for running such a great practice. I’m looking forward to transitioning my whole family over to Dr Reid and his team.
