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.
Nancy Mitchem
Went in for tooth extractions and a healing denture. I was both excited and apprehensive not knowing what to expect. Dr Shaw and his assistant, Dayana were very calming and reassuring. During the whole process I felt only a small bit of pain in the beginning and Dr Shaw numbed it a bit more and we were good to go. During the procedure they kept checking to make sure I was comfortable and doing alright. Before I realized it, the procedure was completed. The new denture was placed and adjusted. I couldnt believe how quick and painless it was. I was given clear instructions about how to take care of myself at home and what to expect. I couldn't be happier and more pleased with the results. Thank you Valley Hills Dentistry for restoring my ☺ smile!
