Testimonials

A remarkable team of professionals who communicate with each other and with patients on many levels. With 3 generations living in the same area and having a variety of dental needs from first checkup for a grandchild to dentures for me, it's amazing and unexpected to find a dental office that can not only handle the disparate needs of everyone, but do it in a way that makes you feel like family and lets you know they care. The staff, collectively, have kept our best interests in mind, whether it's appointment scheduling, insurance handling, or just a calming "Hello" as they pass by the room. In my 60+ years of experience with dentists, I've never had better treatment, and their prices are in line with any other office, so I'm surprised they even have time slots open to accept new patients. The grandkids had a great experience too, with the youngest allowed to sit on Daddy's lap in the chair while the Dr. Dixon did the checkup, and they left with smiles, eager for their next visit. How cool is that?!! If you're looking for a caring, professional, personable team to help you on the road of dental health, there is none better than Dr. Dixon and his team.

I have been visiting your office for about five years now. I started seeing Dr. Dixon because he was recommended to me because he does the Lumineers. I feel that he and Jen did a great job and I have had no problems with them. Dr. Dixon and the staff have always been very kind, honest and gentle. Going to the dentist has always brought on a lot of anxiety for me due to a few bad experiences in the past. I am in the military and it is very frustrating going to the dentist on base and seeing some one different each time. I really like the consistency when I visit the office and puts my mind a little bit more at ease knowing your not going to make me feel like just another set of teeth to examine. Thank you for all that you and your staff have done for me.
