McKala

Dental Assistant


"I can truly say this was the best experience I’ve ever had at a dentist! This was my first visit and I was so nervous! They worked on my tooth with so much patience. The staff was very friendly and made me feel very comfortable! Most of all I felt not one bit of pain! I will definitely be using this dentistry from here on out!!"

Towada Newkirk

"Being my first time visiting this office, i was impressed with the office personnel. But foremost, I was impressed with Dr. Daho. He was thorough in explaining any and all issues I may have. He made me feel very comfortable and not intimidated or embarrassed by any previous dental work done. Deciding to change to a local location after many years of going much further to see my dentist, I am very happy to join this team. Also, Lauryn, my hygienist was excellent and I look forward to seeing only her in 6 months."

Shelly Battaglia

"Had an infection in one of my teeth so I set up an appointment here to get it taken care of. Everyone was super nice and polite. The doctor and assistant who saw me were very kind and gentle during the exam and procedure, it made me comfortable even though I am normally very nervous at the dentist. They also got the work done very quickly and even took the time to go over my price options for the work to be done. They are a little busy so I had to schedule my next appointment a little ways out but it’s worth the wait for me. Overall great experience here and I definitely recommend them."
