LaJohnny at the front desk is amazing (always on top of scheduling when I need help, stays on top of my insurance coverage, has great communication), Kelly does a great job with cleaning and care instructions (I wish my insurance would cover more than 2x/year), and I always trust Dr. Sullivan to take great care of my teeth.
