I had a preconceived notion that all dentists were the same. My last experience at the meat market corporate chain dentist office was very impersonal and not a pleasant experience so I hadn’t been to a dentist since (about 5 years ago).It stated off a little rough … More with a first time new graduate taking X-rays and panel. Everyone starts somewhere and it was about what I expected from a dental office, same ole experience all over again but it changed when Daniel came in to help out. She took charge training the new guy with competence and patience. She redid some X-rays and I was impressed with her competence and experience to efficiently take the X-rays required.Dr. Anderson was great in showing me what issues I had, recommendations for treatment and options to choose from explaining things that the guy in the chair could understand without all the medical jargon only a hygienist would know.The exceptional service didn’t end there. I’m sorry I didn’t catch or remember her name but the front desk lady called my insurance company to check on coverage and was competent dealing with the insurance company. After about the 3rd time of repeating the same information I would have been rampaging with rage but she was patient and got what she needed to help me with coverage for the next procedure. Dental visits are still not my favorite idea of a good time but they all made the experience more enjoyable than my last experience at the meat market places. It definitely made me want to take care of myself better.

We are Canadian snowbirds, and having great dental care is important to us whilst spending 6 months in AZ. Dr Anderson was able to correct my sleep apnea by identifying my narrow airways and replacing CPAP with a mouth appliance that is so much easier to use and … More clean- and I get a good night sleep and wake feeling wonderful!
