Patient Reviews
In my 40 years of going to the dentist, Tamara is hands down the best hygienist I have ever encountered. From the moment she smiles and calls me into the dental office, it feels like I am talking to a friend. She is kind, cheerful, and professional. She always makes me feel comfortable and at ease. She always explains every step and all of my options. She is gentle when taking care of my teeth, and my teeth look and feel squeaky clean when I leave the office. In my honest opinion, she is simply amazing and I adore her!

Tamara has been cleaning hubbies and my teeth for years now. She is always gentle and kind. A real treasure! She knows how to make us feel at ease (I am an old chicken). Tamara is honest and direct which is much appreciated.

Tamara has been cleaning my teeth for over 5 years. I'm a bit anxious about going to any dentist, as most people are. Tamara is gentle, welcoming and accommodating. She gives off a calm soothing demeanor that keeps me calm during the visit. She always gives me a thorough cleaning and checks on me throughout the visit to make sure I am comfortable. I also appreciate her informing me of what she is doing as she cleans my teeth.
