    what our patients say

    I visit this clinic rather often, and the staff is always very nice and compassionate. Dr. Hickerson is a truly kind and honest person. Having interacted with various dentists, I've often noticed that their advice seems driven by business interests rather than a genuine intention to save your teeth. I'm lucky that doctors like Dr. Hickerson are around.

    Tatiana

    Dr. Patel is just incredible! My kids and I loved her. She is thorough and explains everything really well. Super gentle, procedure did not hurt at all. She was able to help me avoid much more extensive dental work. I can honestly say we enjoyed going to the dentist!

    Amishi Shah

    I had 3 crowns and 2 fillings (my parents have a lot to answer for!) and it was pain free. Dr. Hickerson and Micah were efficient and also friendly, made sure I was comfortable.

    Anne Morris

    I would highly recommend Dr. Hickerson and his team to anyone who is looking for a new dentist. His entire staff makes you feel welcome as soon as you walk into the door. I would give them 10 stars if it were possible!

    Thank you Dr. Hickerson, Dr. Patel and staff for everything!
