Molly J.

Thank you so much for helping me have healthy teeth and gums. When I came a little over two years ago dental work was very painful; this past cleaning, I had no pain at all! It’s because you have helped me work up to healthy gums, and I am so grateful. I can’t believe all my other dentists before you didn’t have the same focus and results. I truly feel that you are my partner in dental health, and that you are my dental health advocate. Thank you so much! – Molly J.

I was at your office on March 29. Everyone who I came in contact with was truly helpful and friendly. I especially appreciated the young woman who assisted Dr. Ross. She made me very conformable and worked smoothly with the Dr. When I left I was so grateful everything went well and I really felt good. Please let Dr Ross and his assistant know how much I appreciated them. I almost canceled my appointment because I did not want to go thru the pain, but they made it almost painless. Thanks again, Carolyn F. – Carolyn F.

Jo, dental hygienist, is an absolute gem! She is so knowledgeable about oral health and is eager to share information so the patient will take better care of their teeth and gums. Very gentle yet thorough during the cleaning process. Very professional. Helen, at the front desk, is also very gracious and personable. – Karen V.

Jo, my dental hygienist, is just the best! Full-mouth x-rays are always difficult for me, but she handled them really well and it was virtually painless! She explains everything to me in lay terms and covers issues and recommendations very completely. I continue to recommend Mission Trails Dentistry to family, friends and neighbors. – Sandra B.
