Dr. Harris is the most kind, gentle dentist I have ever had. I love her personality and great sense of humor. She gives me a play-by-play comment as to what she is doing and what she will be doing and that is a rare quality.

I hated going to the dentist until now! Admin support Christi is amazing, intelligent, and beautiful! Dentist Dr. Harris is incredible! Not only friendly and attractive but, a true trade artist! Overall: staff is efficient, kind, professional, and diligent. There was no sales pitch but, honest explanations given for each product and service. The dentist is not a fun place for me in general. I refer to how attractive the TCDG team is and that extends to their compassion and personalities as well. The overall experience was the best dental visit of my life. I feel relief knowing I don't have to fear going to the dentist any more!

My only comment is, make sure that it is explained that when a patient has an appointment with the dentist and the hygienist on the same day, that each one is allotted 1 hour. It was quite a surprise to me, put the outcome was satisfactory and I was pleased.

I was having discomfort, and they scheduled me for the same day. The x-ray tech was great. The dentist was so gentle, and listened to my concerns carefully. I didn't have to wait in the reception area or the chair for more than a couple of minutes! It was great!

As a patient I was treated very well, and I am well satisfied with how I am taken care of. But I recently had oral surgery and my family that was waiting for me wasn't treated as I hoped. They told me that the receptionist and a few of the staff made them feel uncomfortable and almost looked down upon.

The way the imaging center was set up previously was better. I like being able to watch my X-rays appear on the monitor. Also, the chair, leads & image receptors seemed to integrate better with the old set-up. It was also kind of nice to have the little video room for the noodles. True, there is more seating now. However, they get a bit squirrely when they don't have anything to do while waiting for Mom or Dad to be treated. (I don't think they should have to leave them home.)

The care the staff gave me was exceptional. I have a fear of dentist visits and was able to get through two days of appointments without any kind of fearful attack. They explained all procedures thoroughly and made me feel very secure by asking how I was doing during treatment. They offered to stop in the middle of treatment if I needed them to. Thankfully I didn't. Also, the office remodel is making the office look better; except for the wobbly patient chairs and BIG stain on the carpet in the reception area. The stain looks better than it did previously - like it had been professionally cleaned but it's still noticeable.

I felt like there was a bit of a hard sell for the Zoom Whitening and that I wasn't fully informed of the side-effects and discomfort associated with the treatment prior to agreeing to it. Otherwise, the experience was among the best I've had in dentistry.

Great staff always, just wish the cleanings were a little more thorough. Have had better cleanings at other dentists. The last visit was the quickest I've ever been in and out. All other appointments I've had took much longer with long waiting times during the process.

Appt scheduled for 5 PM and office said to be open until 6. Around 6 PM after a "Treatment Plan" was proposed to me and I selected several options in addition to a cleaning, I was informed that the hygenist had gone home for the day. Why would I make an appointment strictly to get x rays and then schedule another appt for a cleaning? If 5PM appts don't leave enough time to do a simple cleaning procedure, make the latest appt earlier in the day.

First dental visit in 3 years and was pretty satisfied with all involved. Other than tartar build-up, no areas of concern. Treatment was EXPENSIVE due to the need of a fancy cleaning tool for "root scraping" but teeth are now in better shape. Dentist and all staff were all helpful, informative and friendly. Will definitely recommend this office.

Dr. Harris was fabulous. She was very thoroughly in her explanation of repairing my cracked tooth and the care necessary for a thorough cleaning that I needed. She explained what she was during during the entire procedure and it was about as painless as it could be. I appreciate her professionalism very much. I was quite nervous when I first arrived, but she was very patient and attentive.

I was taken back to the room 20 minutes after my appt time with no greeting when I got there. After initial x rays I sat in the room almost an hour before the root canal procedure began with no apology or explanation as to why I sat there unattended so long. I would have appreciated some one coming in to at least tell me it is going to be a while instead of deserting me and leaving me feeling forgotten. Very friendly staff other than this issue.

The training that has been given the staff in making the patient comfortable is above & beyond. A lot of that has to do with finding the right people to who are able to work well with the public & you have achieved that. I do have a problem with some lack of cleaning in a professional office, mainly the floors & doors. I worked in the food industry most of my life so I notice these little things. Am very conscious of woodwork, doors, & things like that. I don't mean to be picky but think this something that you should be aware of.. Specificially the bottoms of the doors. Other than that, keep up the good work & I want to thank all of the staff for being so friendly & "outgoing". This is a big plus. Other than some mild discomfort I am doing just great. Thank you very much!

I never had any questions because they would answer them before I would ask. They all are so friendly and caring. I would recommend this office to anyone!

I usually see Dr. Brilliant,who is great, however he was on vacation. The new dentist I saw was great. I can not remember her last name, but I believe her first name is Kristina. My only issue with this visit, is I had had it scheduled for 6 months and was not called until one business day before my appointment to let me know Dr. Brilliant would be on vacation and I would need to reschedule. Thankfully there was one opening on the same day and I was able to be seen. Other than that, everything went very well and I am happy with all the other aspects of the service.

My only complaint is that my appointments almost never begin on time, I typically have to wait 15 to 25 minutes. I understand there can be unexpected emergencies or procedures taking longer than expected however, this is every appointment, not just the occasional one. I was interntionally 10 minutes late because of this on-going problem and even then I had to wait another 15 minutes. Other than that, the staff are all excellent and I feel very well cared for.

I must say that Dr. Harris is the ONLY Dr. who knows how to numb me with no pain. I wish something could be done tso that she could teach everyone else her technique. I didn't see her yesterday and my numbing was extremely painful. In the future when I go back I don't care who I have to see I want Dr. Harris to numb me before whoever I have to see gets started.

Had to wait over 45 mins after my appointment to be called back. I had to reschedule to come back for cleaning. Because of the very long wait. I wasn't expecting to have to be at the office for 1.5hrs to just have a exam when I made the appointment 6 months in advance. The staff was very nice and my care was good overall. I could do without the long wait though.
