I felt very special.I was greeted by Julie whom later was very explanatory for my next visit treatment plan. Laura was my hygienist and did a marvelous job.I was totally impressed with the professionalism and patience. Jerica was patient and fit my mouthpiece to make certain I could tolerate my upcoming procedure .I went for my treatment plan today 03/18 and Bailey was so kind greeting me this morning.

Had a teeth cleaning maintenance appointment this morning with Katy. I’ve been going to her for several years now and she is wonderful! She is thorough, precise, and professional in everything she does! If you are looking for a dental hygienist and dentist, I highly recommend Dr Thrasher and Katy!
