About

One of my greatest joys is the expression of my professional life. I have chosen dentistry as a career and it is an amazing fit for me. It has given me the opportunity to share my talents on a one to one basis each day. Whether I am in the office, or teaching, I am proud to offer the best the field of dentistry has to offer to those around me.

Front desk was very friendly and welcoming. Dr. Young was very attentive and examination was detailed. Her explanation on possible concerns was very clearly understandable and it makes sense.

Great, quick service.

A very warm and thorough dental experience!

Barbra was very welcoming & honest! She makes the experience enjoyable with every visit!

Dr. Young and the entire staff are wonderful. They are pleasant and eager to help. Everyone worked to put me at ease and help me feel comfortable. I feel in control of my treatment and that I have allies in making my decisions.

everyone in the office including Dr Barbara were very friendly, very professional, they explained the whole process to me

Only been to one appointment so far but Dr. Young seems great and staff is very friendly

Dr. Young was extremely patient and thorough. She listened to my concerns and really made sure I got the care I needed, inviting me back for a second consultation free of charge so I wouldn't have to be late to work!

Dr. Young was patient, informational and there was no hard sell for additional dental work. She was extremely thorough in her explanations and her exam.

Dr.Young and her staff are super accommodating, friendly and informative. Great experience!

She is a great dentist. Had a wonderful experience getting my cleaning done and doing a sort of regular check up. Very friendly staff, made me feel at ease. Dr. Barbara didnt rush me through the appointment. She took enough time to ease me through the process. Definitely recommending my friends :)

Dr Young and her staff were very kind and welcoming. She spent a great deal of time with me learning about my dental history, concerns I had, and helping teach me why the problems I was having were occurring. I didn’t feel pressured to purchase any extra treatments or products (like some dentists in my past experience) and I truly felt listened to and valued. I’m excited to keep seeing Dr. Young.

She listened to my concerns and was very caring. The staff was very friendly also.

Dr. Young is a very caring Dentist. She truly takes an interest in teaching patients how to take care of their teeth. Her office staff and Assistants are just as caring. I recently received two crowns, a deep cleaning and bought a pretty cool electric toothbrush. The only reason I bought the toothbrush is because Jewel taught me how to use it and I was amazed how clean my teeth felt after the "lesson." I highly recommend Dr. Young and appreciate having such a fuss made over my dental hygiene. I am taking care of my teeth now and I feel like smiling all of the time now!

The customer service was amazing! I felt very comfortable, especially for being a new patient and not having gone to the dentist in more than a year.

A truly friendly and caring dental service. It's obvious that this office cares about you and wants you to have a good experience. Not just in how they treat you, but how much they care about your dental health. I felt both comforted and also educated/informed.

She is so kind. She is very respectful and wants you to understand how to care for your mouth and teeth. Who knew I was using my electric toothbrush improperly causing damage to my gums. Her team of gems showed me the way! My teeth are shiny clean. I am confident that I will get great care with each visit. Thank you Dr. Young, Kristen, Patrice, and Jennifer!

Very knowledgeable and kind. I stated my concerns with my previous dentist in that I felt they over treated some issues and didn't address or take seriously what I was concerned about. Dr. Young will treat you the way she wants to be treated: she listens to concerns and will only take steps that are necessary for your overall health. Her staff is exceptionally kind and friendly. She's my new dentist for sure.

I have never been to a dentist as thorough as Dr. Young. She took the time to educate and explain everything to me. She was very kind and friendly. The staff is very nice and professional as well.

My first appt was warm and welcoming! Looking forward to my next appt!!

Dr. Young and her staff are very kind, helpful, and detail-oriented. The office is clean and efficient. Dr. Young takes the time to thoroughly explain your personal care plan, which gave me a much better understanding of my dental health and how to maintain it. I received great care!

I had a great experience

Clean and friendly office and amazing customer service!

This office and dental team earn a review that is so good that you would think they paid me to write it! Seriously, do you want to LOVE your dental team? Come here and you will be glad that you did! PS - Bring your children here for the very best dental care AND caring instructions on brushing etc from an office of professionals who personalize their advice for each patient young or old.

Dr. Young and her staff were fantastic. Would recommend to anyone. I hadn't been to a dentist in over 10 years, and they made me feel at ease. Gentle and easy.

Dr. Young was the best dentist I’ve been to and all the staff at her practice are thoughtful, kind, and amazing. Dr. Young makes sure you leave your visit well informed about your own teeth and mouth and with a treatment plan. She is kind and patient with teaching you and walking you through the background information and making sure you are comfortable with every aspect. I can’t say I’ve ever looked forward to going to the dentist before (and hadn’t been in several years), but I am excited for my next appointment!

Very kind and patient, very understanding and conscious of the experience as a patient. She really does take the time to explain to you what is happening.

Dr. Young was very kind, intelligent, explanative and patient. She understands the kind of person that doesn't exercise the best in-home routine care and tries to help you do better without scolding or making you feel guilty.

I am so happy I went here! Everyone was so kind and made sure I was comfortable the entire time. My only regret is I didn't come here sooner!

Dr. Young was very educational, patient, kind and professional. There is no doubt that she truly and genuinely cares for her patients. All her staff were wonderful. My experience from beginning to end far exceeded my expectations. Highly recommend her and her team.
