Their team was really good and i felt super confident and comfortable with their care. I had been with same dentist for over 30 years and when he retired looking for a strong practice to switch over to. Also super convenient since i work downtown and easy to walk to.

I am that scared kid who used to make excuses to visit the dentist even as an adult. Dr. John and everyone at the clinic made the experience pretty comfortable and nice for me. I would definitely recommend him to others.
