I had gone here after hearing my roommate's experience there, who had some of his teeth saved so I thought he'd be good. I went in more for a referral on some wisdom teeth and that same day he did fillings. Great I thought. A few days passed and I had a horrible toothache on one of the teeth he filled. I went back in a week later, took some xrays, put some stuff that lightly burned my guns on and around the tooth which HURT and ended up getting that tooth removed. Luckily it was a wisdom tooth so I didn't overly mind. 2 weeks later I go back in for a follow up. I thought he'd check the extraction site but he didn't. I still had pain in the site and was a bit concerned since my other teeth that were pulled in the past never had extraction sites hurt this long. I got more fillings done on the other side of the mouth. Same problem happened but with 2 teeth this time. They ached and one tooth felt like anything and everything is going right in it. Not to mention he busted a crown I got years ago to fill the tooth next to it. Instead of going back to him, I went someplace else to evaluate everything, including his work because I don't trust him and I feared they'd have to pull these teeth as well. In the end, the other places (I had to go to 2 places) said all my fillings should be redone and some still have old fillings and cavities under them. Another tooth needs to be removed (my other wisdom that I was using as a replacement molar) and a high possibility for a root canal if I want to save that tooth, along with a new crown. Before this mess, my teeth were okay for the most part. Only slight sensitivity to certain things. I knew I needed fillings, which are simple things to get. I had already finished the major things done years ago and other dentist hadn't had issues in the past after those major problems. Now, I am facing thousands of dollars in repairs for his mistakes. He's too rushed and too busy. He's good at pulling teeth but not really much else.

I would at the very most give this one star. I have taken my kids here and while they are concerned with comfort, their work does not last. I am now going to be switching my daughters' dentist first thing on Monday. After one of them had 4 fillings done, 3 have come out. I have had enough fillings to know that if they are done properly they don't normally come out. Over the past 20 years it has only happened to me once. I can't speak for adults that have their teeth done here, it may be fine but I would definitely not get a child's teeth done here.

five star or more, excellent dentist in all aspects of denistry, & is very concerned with your comfort making you pain free. His office even makes you feel good for being there. No matter when you go his place is full of patients. I recommend him to every age. The best dentist I've been to in along time.
