Absolutely the best! Excellent, immaculate and very comfortable office with a friendly and professional staff. I would never think of going anywhere else.
I was very impressed with the professionalism and thoroughness of Dr Axx and his staff. Dr Axx explained the procedures carefully so I could evaluate the benefits (and) cost of each. The procedure was performed painless and meticulously. Dr Axx followed up to ensure I was recovering well. Thank you all.
5 Stars!! I was very impressed with the entire team. Dr Clatanoff and every assistant was super friendly, very professional and treated me like I was family. They went above and beyond to deliver excellent service. They even stayed later than normal for my root canal to relieve the pain I was having. I recommend this practice MOST highly!! I rarely leave a review—but this practice deserves the highest accolades!
Fantastic office! Very clean and modern. The doctors are great and the staff is so friendly. Best of all, my procedure was absolutely painless!!!
