I highly recommend this place as I had severe anxiety of dealing with my dental issues, but Dr. Carter and his staff were so friendly and very compassionate in assuring me that my procedure would be painless and they were right. Also a BIG SHOUT out to Kelsie Ducre one of the dental assistants who was very down to earth and personable. She really walked me though everything that was going to happen with so much patience and made me feel comfortable as I know I was terrified, but she really helped a lot with reassuring me that I would be fine and when it was done, I told her YOU WERE RIGHT, lol. Her reply was GIRL I TOLD YOU I GOT YOU, she is the best.

I have never been fond of going to a dentist since I was a child but I did. Dr Carter is fantastic not only in his professional skills but as a gentleman. His soothing personality help to relax me and his assistant Mica was so attentive. What a team. I have a lot of work to be done but am looking forward since it was painless and so professional
