Our Patients Love Our Practice

Hattie M.

“I am a new patient, my first-time visit. The reception I received from the moment I walked into the door and to the time I exited the door, I felt overwhelmed with the professionalism of the staff. It was as though someone cared about my teeth and me. I was informed of any issues (tried and true) with my teeth and given advise on how to proceed. My teeth were cleaned and there were x-rays taken. I was referred elsewhere for clarification of a concerned and a follow-up consultation followed. Dr. Arive and I made the decision on how to proceed from here. What I liked about him is that he listened. Mind you, this is not my first rodeo and I have been treated by other dentists and this office is on my A-List.”

With all the suggestions Dr. Arive’s staff have given me during my visits this cleaning went very smoothly/ quickly so something they imparted must be working!! My hygienist was very nice and thorough and as always my checkup with Dr. Arive was like reconnecting with an old friend. As he does his exam he also catches up with what’s going on in your life.
