Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Mellert is the BEST. He provides excellent care while keeping me calm and comfortable. He is a perfectionist who gets it right every time. You won't find a better dentist or office. Everyone is friendly, efficient and professional. I trust them all with my dental care.

Super nice staff including Dr. Mellert! Came to the office with a very bad tooth ache and fear of being seen by a dentist, surprisenely for me, they set an amazing comfortable environment which made me relax instead of me panicking. And on top that they took care of my pain while they were trying to figure what was the cause of my pain. After this experience I will more than likely go back this dentist with out any fear. Excellent service!!

Wow This staff is on the ball. From the front desk to the back office they made me feel so comfortable & there was no pressure about paying. The best part was with Dr. Mellert & how patient he was & constantly made sure that nothing hurt. If you have children this is the place even if just getting your teeth cleaned. You won’t be disappointed. If I could give the 6 or 7 stars I would. Thank you Dr. Mellert you’ve made me & my family very happy.
