HAPPY CLIENTS
I recently saw Dr. Bennett to be evaluated for a dental implant. My mouth is very difficult to work on, due to extremely tight facial skin from Scleroderma. Dr. Bennett and his staff were considerate and did all they could to minimize any discomfort for me. Dr. Bennett is thorough and takes time to explain and answer your questions. He is kind and his staff are amazing as well! I highly recommend him! ~ Anonymous (Google Review)
I was referred to Dr. Bennett for gum swelling problems. Absolutely the best professional care and recommendations guiding recovery. In addition, he is willing to share with other professionals his records and findings so that they both can work together to ensure my dental health care. Hygienists are well qualified! I am very comfortable and trusting with his staff, and his care. ~ Rita
Dr. Bennett and his staff did a great job of taking care of my dental needs! Friendly, professional, pain-free for what (at least from my perspective) was some major dental work. Due to my need (as expressed by my family dentist), Dr. Bennett got me into his office after a short period, examined me, AND then had me show up that day after hours so he could take corrective measures that kept my dental problems from getting far worse. Great dentist. Outstanding staff. Can't do better. ~ Michael M.
