“Most amazing dental practice!!! You come out of here feeling so valued and cared for. No one loves going to the dentist but with the cheerful atmosphere and the fact that so many of the people who work here are so incredibly warm and kind it makes it such a pleasant experience. The regular front desk gal is so sweet and welcoming. I always request my fav dental hygienist Anne, she is so wonderful that it feels like you are getting to visit with an old friend vs getting your teeth cleaned. And I cannot say enough good things about the two dentists Dr Ashley and her husband. I have been seen by both and they are both top notch. Just the warmest most compassionate people they make you feel so at ease. In a world where the medical field is sorely declining from a customer service/ patient experience standpoint Walnut Woods Dental is a bastion of light in the darkness. You are actually treated like a human here vs just another set of teeth. I also bring my two young daughters here (7 and 5) and they actually love coming they get so excited for their appointments they happily go in for their exam without even needing me to sit with them so I get a few moments of "me" time in the comfy lobby reading the many magazines they have. When your whole family actually enjoys the entire dental experience you know you have found the unicorn of a practice. I just hope they don't get too popular and it becomes impossible to schedule because so far I can always get in easily. So thankful to have this incredible dentist office right in my backyard. ”
