“Given my long history of being in the dentist chair, I do believe the service and quality of this dental team is excellent! I’ve lost count of how many crowns and root canal’s I’ve had but hands down this is the best looking crown I’ve gotten so far.

“Dr. Pike is the GREATEST!!! He saved my tooth!!! He saw me right away, he was so kind and calming. I’m not the greatest patient, I was so scared. My tooth broke and I was definitely in pain. I needed a root canal. He knew exactly what to do.”

“I have a fear of dentists but I love this place. I feel so comfortable at every visit. Ellen and Dr. Pike are warm and treat their patients like family. I am so glad I found this practice. I recommend them whole-heartedly!
