They got me in quickly as a walk-in. Everyone there was nice and friendly. Took ex-rays and got my tooth pulled that was fractured from the bottom center and most all the way up through the entire tooth. Im so thankful they got me in because it was causing a lot of pain. Thank you to all of the staff and the dentist himself for taking care of me.
