Most Excellent

Being a mom with a fear of the dentist, the choice for my son was difficult. My son has been coming to Dr. Santos for 3 years now and I could not be happier. Saying that everyone in this practice goes above and beyond is an understatement. We love the time, experience and overall amazing care we have received from everyone!

Dr. Santos provided amazing care for my daughter and son. Both kids think she is amazing! She put them at ease while making sure they understood the importance of oral health. Her treatment plans are explained and the follow up is wonderful. Her assistants and office staff are attentive and smiling every time we go to the office.

Great experience

Dr. Santos has been taking care of both of my children for many years. She is not only a talented dentist, but she is also very caring and compassionate. She makes an effort to get to know her patients and carefully explains any procedures.

Dr. Santos is a great dentist. My kids love her and she's always taken great care of them.

My children have been patients of Dr. Santos for years. She has always been very gentle and caring. She has dealt with all issues professionally and well. My daughter recently transitioned to an adult dentist (at 21!) and was sad to have to make the change.

The best dentist ever!

We have been coming to see Dr Santos for nine years and she is amazing. She does an amazing job with my special needs son and is so calm and patient with all of her patients. She listens to your concerns and gives her honest opinion. She takes the time to call you after a procedure to make sure your child is doing well and answer any questions. We love Dr Santos!
