I love this dentist office. Faye on reception is the best. Always very friendly. Even brought a gift for me after I had had my baby. She is one of the main reasons I continue to go here. Ursula ( I think her name is ) always does a great job cleaning my teeth. And of course Dr Van Kooten and her assistant ( sorry not familiar with his name ) are awesome, friendly and put you at ease. Also love the fact they give you a discounts depending on the way you pay which is especially helpful if you don't have dental insurance.
