“ We treat all of our patients as though they are our family members ; we genuinely look forward to seeing our patients , and we simply treat them how we would want to be treated , professionally , with kindness and understanding and in an ultra-clean environment with state-of-the-art equipment .”
Our office is concierge-like with a boutique-type atmosphere . “ We schedule one patient at atime and focus on that patient from start to finish ; Ido not travel back and forth treating patients in multiple rooms . My team and I give our complete attention to our patients ’ needs and their comfort , listening carefully to their concerns and answering any questions they may have .” This emphasis on care and attention extends to the friendly and communicative front office and to the caring dental assistant who will hold a patient ’ s hand or provide a warm therapeutic weighted blanket if needed to ease anxiety .
