Thank you all, and God bless!Posted on Google Carol FowlerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My appointment today was for a new patient comprehensive exam. The front desk receptionist, Susan, was very friendly and welcoming. My hygienist, Katy, collected my medical and dental history. She was great! She explained everything to me that I could expect to have done today, including X-rays. She was thorough and calming for me and did an excellent job with my X-rays. Dr. Camino performed the most thorough head, neck and dental examination I’ve ever had. Following the exam and X-rays, Dr. Camino reviewed the results with me along with options for a treatment plan. I was given a breakdown of the treatment plan with the expected costs and payment options. I was very pleased with my visit. I have scheduled my next appointment.Posted on Google Wayne PinchefskyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wonderful experience!
