This is by far the best dentist I have ever been to! Dr. Schantz is highly professional and experienced. The office is state of the art and very clean. I highly recommend her.

Jeff, Patient

Dr Ghorab is awesome. He is friendly, professional, and does a great job with my routine visits. I've been coming here for more than a year and will continue to as long as I live close by.

Joshua, Patient

This is by far the best dentist my wife and I have ever been to. We moved about an hour away and tried another dentist and quickly went back to this place because it's so good. Dr. Schantz and her dental staff are true professionals. You'll actually enjoy going to the dentist if you go here, we know we do!
