I had not been to the Dentist in 14 years. A huge phobia of mine. I found myself in a situation where I could not put it off any longer and had to have a tooth pulled. They fit me in within 30 minutes even though I did not have insurance and it was a completely smooth procedure. Dr. Patel was amazing! I will defiantly be back in the future to get the rest of my needs taken care of.
Rhoena Rhodes
14:20 27 Aug 18
The staff made me feel so relaxed and comfortable when I got in the chair. Normally I have anxiety about going to the dentist. They just do what ever and after they finish tell me what they done and go. But from the moment I sat in the chair the staff told me ever move they made. They kept asking me are you ok how do you feel? They kept me informed about every procedure that they performed. Thank you for that.

I had been having trouble with a tooth all Memorial Day Weekend. So I started calling all around looking at prices I could afford, and also who could get me today. Called ADC told them my situation and they told me I could come right away. Once I made it there, they are so sweet & nice. They made sure I was comfortable as much as possible. And Mrs. Lawrence pulled my tooth pain free. I believe I have a new dentist.
