      I Haven’t been to the dentist since I was in the military and that was one of the greatest experiences I’ve had. I felt connected with both the doctor and the assistant. They really give you a environment where you feel seen and the work was quick and efficient. Thank you 😊

      I absolutely LOVE this dental office. The entire staff is so friendly and welcoming. The dental hygienists are all amazing and the front staff are all so sweet. Dr Ackerman is wonderful, down to earth and honest and true. Stacy is my absolute favorite hygienist there, she is the best hygienist I’ve ever had work on my teeth.
