Customer Reviews
Dr. Shaw is very caring and competent. My visit for two fillings was pleasant and pain free. i would recommend her to everyone.
Dr. Shaw is an exceptional dentist. She is totally dedicated to patient care and comfort. She explained what my procedure involved and was concerned at all times with my comfort. She was not my dentist before the procedure but I have asked her, and she has agreed, to be my dentist from now on. I feel very fortunate to have encountered her.
Dr. Shaw treated my son, who is autistic. She was incredibly skilled at sensing his needs and got his cleaning and exam done quickly and efficiently. Excellent appointment!
My previous provider left the practice and I got Dr. Shaw. She’s super friendly and professional. Even helped my follow up with the pathologist right after my visit and got me positive feedback the same day which was calming down my pains literally better than the ibuprofen. 5 stars for Dr. Shaw.
Very nice dental practice. Check in was easy, front desk friendly and helpful. Was seen for my appointment on time and everything that was done ( by a wonderful hygienist Elizabeth) was explained before hand. Dr Shaw was thorough and answered all of my questions.
