My 4 year old son and I just had our teeth cleaned and per usual we had the best experience ! The staff always makes us feel welcomed and like we are family. My son feels so comfortable with the staff as well as Doctor Camila that he didn’t even wince when asked if he wanted to start his cleaning (in a separate room) while I got mine done. He absolutely loves going to the dentist! Doctor Camila and staff always make sure that my concerns and questions are answered and are super flexible with appointment scheduling. They are truly the best!

Dr. Lares and the team are wonderful. They are friendly, helpful and flexible. We never have a difficult time getting an appointment. They are able to schedule all three of my kids with overlapping appointments to make it easier on us. They have experience working with kids of all ages and with special needs. The office is welcoming, clean and bright. Our kids love leaving with a balloon! Adult care is also thorough. They provide helpful options for payment and help navigate insurance, as well. Love it here.
