A huge shoutout to my hygienist, Angela. She is awesome. She does a very thorough job, takes her time, and always checks to make sure you're doing okay. You can tell she really cares about her job and patients.
They were also great with my wife, who used to hate going to the dentist. Now she actually looks forward to her appointments. I highly recommend this office!
