Laura Dowdal
Best dentist I've ever been to. If I would have had a good dentist like this years ago I would have gone more often and have better teeth. No pain when getting fillings and deep cleanings. Easy appointments never have to wait long. Just got fitted for my partials today and I should have them in just a few weeks. Im so excited cant wait to start smiling more often!

Dr. Shaw and his exceptional staff have worked miracles on my teeth and gums. I went from having 2 cancer scares to being told I have ZERO traces of dysplasia or precancer. My teeth are nearly pearly white now thanks to their hard work.From teeth cleaning to crowns to getting accessories made for your chompers, 'Valley Hills Dentistry' knows there stuff. They're extremely kind and wholly professional. You will feel entirely safe in their hands.A 5 Star Business!
Sharland Stergis
What a phenomenal experience I had as a new patient today. I was scheduled for a cleaning and as a new patient my hygienist, Julia explained all the x-rays needed. She was upbeat, friendly, so gentle and has a beautiful smile herself. Her chairside manner was welcoming and her cleaning technique both proficient and efficient. Dr.Shaw came in, reviewed my x-rays and looked inside my mouth as an overview and noted a couple of teeth to follow when I return in 6 months. Highly recommend this exceptional dental practice. Dr and staff above reproach.
Stephanie Roark
If you are looking for a great dentistry then I recommend this office. I felt welcomed before I was even called back. The staff were very friendly. Not only were they considerate of my blood pressure, my anxiety as well. They did an impeccable job in making me feel relaxed and comfortable. I had got two wisdoms extracted, went home and rested. Next day I am laughing with my children like I didn't have teeth removed. Dr. Shaw is awesome. He is amazing at what he does. I have upcoming appointments and there's no hesitation about it. I know I'm in great hands.
