  • Love going there...surprisingly...I mean it is the dentist. But everyone from Maggie to Kim to Laura to Dr. Albazzaz and in between are awesome! I've been going there since I was 19 with Dr. Welker and Dr. Bleck and I'm now till there at 59. Most of the same staff is there. That says something. They are friendly, caring practice that makes you feel part of the family. 💜
