Your trust is our top concern.
We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.
We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.
Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.
All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.
Great Dentist and team.

I was terrified of coming to the dentist. It had been a very long time and I was just scared about what I would find out. The staff here could not have been more friendly and everyone put me at ease. From the woman who answered the phone and booked my appointment to the hygienist and dentist, everyone was incredibly nice and I never felt any judgement. I would recommend this dentist to anyone whether it’s been years or months since your last visit!

I appreciate the kindness of Dr. Cummings and his staff. Everyone is patient and willing to explain the procedures, the financial implications, and any concerns I may have. They make it easy for me, someone who has had a huge fear of dental work for most of my life. They are genuinely nice folks! I'm grateful!
