"I am terrified of dentists, but I needed four extractions. The staff was very friendly and calming. I chose the nitrous oxide. Sedation is available as well. The shots hurt, but there's no getting around that. They kept me informed during the proceedings. I spent time waiting afterwards to be sure I was ready to leave. They took my spouse's after hours call when I wanted to know if the amount of bleeding was normal. I'm on blood thinners. Four extractions are never fun, but they made it as easy as possible."

"I had a great experience with Dr. Marrs and a nurse there, I believe her name was Gloria. I was getting one wisdom tooth removed and was incredibly nervous, even telling the nurse how nervous I was. The nurse and Dr. Marrs were wonderful, made me feel comfortable, and I felt completely at ease. I'm always nervous having any dental work done and can't recommend this practice more! Thank you for such a positive experience!"
