We (my husband and I) are first time patients and are very happy with our first experience. The office staff was very friendly and immediately put us at ease.
Our first checkup was very thorough and the treatment plan was well explained.
We feel we will be getting excellent dental care here.

Dr. Dunn and his staff are the best! I had been to at least 6 other dentist to get consults regarding fixing my teeth. None of them really listened to me and had there own agenda- to make money. All them were beyond my financial reach. Dr. Dunn really listened to me and provided a great solution that was in my financial capabilities. Now I have the smile I have been longing for my whole life. Kudos x 10 to Dr. Dunn and his staff!

Professional staff, short wait times, very clean facility, ample parking.

This is a "self pay" dental office, but they do indicate they will submit your charges to the insurance company. This process was fine with me.

Before my initial treatment, I asked for a prescription strength desensitizing rinse or toothpaste to be called to my pharmacy - they agreed to do the same.

The failures came when the requested medication was never called to my pharmacy, I even called in again and they said they'd take care of it. Never was called in for me. At my second visit, I indicated I

Dr. Dunn and his staff were very friendly and professional! I had a broken tooth and they got me right in to take care of it. I am an RN and I would refer anyone to him.
