They were super efficient and incredibly nice!
My husband needed a tooth pulled, and Jibria made it possible for not just the one but all of his teeth to be fixed. Very appreciative of the service that was provided.
The dentist et all took such good care of me on Friday, May 1st. Most dentists in this state only work Monday-Thursday. I needed 1 badly on that Friday. They were already booked solid for that day, but the woman from customer service from Aspen felt sorry for me and got me in anyway. Dentist Dr. Parikh and his sidekick, Lou, were so good, fast, and saved me from having to go through 4 more days of pain for a very short visit. Highly recommend Aspen Dental in Merrillville. THANK YOU!
