Make Gum Reshaping Part of a Smile Makeover

The minute you walk into Dr. Roderick's office you are greeted with warmth and friendliness from head to toe. Not only is Dr. Roderick outstanding, thorough, and direct. He actually spends the time to go over concerns he wants to treat going forward. Michelle the hygienest is excellent and very pleasant. Holly the office coordinator is bubbly and fun she certainly takes the edge off going to the dentist. Last but not least Priscilla Dr. Roderick's assistant is super and very personable. This dental practice is Top Notch you won't find one better in the valley!! I also want to add that Dr. Roderick saved my husband from some bad dental work that gave him a terrible infection two months ago. He truly was caring in responding to me reaching out on an emergency situation on a Sunday. He even went as far as setting him set up with an Oral surgeon that was all set up for Monday he was spot on with diagnosis. We really appreciate you Dr. Roderick and your amazing staff. You are a great team! I highly recommend this dental practice.
