What our patients are saying about us

I absolutely adore Dr. Pollard and his staff! Even with all of my TMJ issues, he is so kind and patient with me. The front desk staff and hygienists are wonderful and communication is top-notch. I have literally never liked a dentist before—so I am so glad to have found Dr. Pollard! ~ Yaicha T.

Yes, it's the dentist, no one wants to go to the dentist. But as a person who has seen many dentists over the years, I'll be with this guy till he retires. He's the best. I feel confident going in every time I'm not being forced to have and pay for x-rays or procedures I don't need, the office is always on time, and the hygienists as well as the rest of the staff are all very nice. What else can I ask for? ~ Dana H.
