One patient praised Dr. Rowe for squeezing in an urgent maxillary sinus repair after hours, spending an hour in consultation, and treating them as friends rather than chart numbers.

Dr. Lovit's practice draws strong praise for a warm, punctual environment where staff know patients by name and the dentist listens carefully. The hygienists (especially Dawn) are regularly named as standouts. Recent complaints focus on one receptionist's interpersonal approach and occasional scheduling gaps when the dentist is out, leaving cleanings without follow-up exams.

Every visit feels like returning to people who know you. Dr. Holland takes time with questions, the staff treats you like family, and even first-time patients walk out comfortable. Monica and the hygienist team earn specific mention for detailed, gentle care. Long-term patients anchor this practice. Many have stayed for over 15 years. The office runs on time, stays organized, and balances professionalism with a relaxed atmosphere. All-on-4, single implants, and full restorations all show up in patient praise.
