5 stars Kathleen D Featured review
As always, both Dr. Tuft and her staff provided excellent, efficient dental care with a welcoming and friendly attitude. These gals know their stuff and it seems like they constantly are upgrading equipment to stay abreast of all the latest research/technical improvements. And they never shame you -- if you need to improve an area of dental hygiene, they encourage you to make some changes, but never make you feel bad about it.
