“When we arrived we were greeted by Cheryl and a very friendly and professional office staff. Dr Nadia Hassan was excellent in her treatment and it was a pain free experience.”

“I had my wisdom teeth removed by Dr. Westernoff. He was extremely professional and efficient both times I met with him for the consult and actual surgery. His team of office staff and assistants are also very nice and thorough.”

“Nobody likes being shot with ‘horse needles’ and the thought was terrifying. But the two lady techs were quite nice, sensed my trepidation, were as considerate as humanly possible.”
