    They built the tooth on-site. I talked to both doctors and they were awesome I'm glad to be a patient and long time under their care because they care."

  • "I wanted to wait for my first procedure to leave a review of which my thoughts still are the same from my first cleaning visit. First off, my first visit was amazing. My hygienist - Cressy she was extremely gentle and attended to all my suctioning needs. Front desk staff are super friendly always smiling- it’s so welcoming! I am new to this dental office and worked with Dr Gur-Arie yesterday and had a the most comfortable, painless experience. I was extremely nervous and anxious because I am absolutely terrified of the dentist. I came here in hopes to change that feeling. She is so personable and caring- the whole experience is game changing!"

  • "I have always been scared to go to a dentist and even though my friend was my dentist I never felt relaxed. After he retired I waited a few years before getting up the nerve to see another dentist. Well my fears completely vanished after seeing Dr Gur-Arie. I like letting my friend know how much easier it is to see her and not him. Maybe things have changed in dentistry over the years but I now feel completely comfortable."

  • "I have Tourette's which manifests itself as a twitch. I have often dreaded going to the dentist because it is really hard for me to stay still. That being said, I have a lot of hours in the dental chair. All of the staff were amazing! I never felt like I was a burden or that anyone was "annoyed" with my inability to stay still. This will be my dental office from now on. I highly recommend anyone looking for a dentist to give them a try."

  • "Although no one enjoys getting cavities filled, Dr. Sodergren made it as pleasant as possible for me. I had 3 cavities filled and I was told to expect an hour and a half of work, and completed it in an hour. I was glad that he was quick, yet thorough. I appreciate his kind and quiet demeanor as it put me at ease. I was also curious to see what my cavities looked like and requested to see X-Rays. Instead Dr. Sodergren said he would take pictures during the procedure and he showed me afterwards. It was really interesting to see what a cavity looks like and it motivated me to floss based on my tooth decay! I also really appreciated the level of care and customer service that the dental assistant provided by giving me a blanket to stay warm, headphones to listen to and watch t.v., followed by a hot towel to wipe my face at the end of the procedure. She was so nice and respectful. I’m thankful for the high quality care that Dr. Sodergren and his staff provide!"
