 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am petrified of dentists!! I walked out of a dental office just this week because of fear. Sun dental understood my phobia and never once made me feel uncomfortable. I had an emergency repair of my front tooth and Dr. Giles was not only extremely gentle but his voice was very calming. The dental assistant was also very kind and sympathetic. They gave me nitrous oxide to calm me down and fixed the tooth in one visit!!! I was so impressed I booked an appointment to have the rest of my lingering dental issues fixed (if you have dental anxiety you know what a big deal that is). If you suffer from anxiety this is definitely the office you want to go to.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have nothing but good things to say about this practice. The ladies at the front desk are welcoming and friendly my hygienist Brianna is the best. I'm a little on the dental phobic side and she goes out of her way to make me feel secure and comfortable. Dr Hada is professional and thorough. I highly recommend this practice
