I took my daughter to Dr. Carey for the first time last week and had an absolutely wonderful experience. All the staff was very helpful and friendly. Mrs. Dawn cleaned my daughters teeth and did her x-rays. . . . she was absolutely FANTASTIC. My daughter fell in love with her. . . .

she made her feel comfortable & got her excited about brushing! :). . . . I really appreciated that Dr. Carey came out and spent some time talking with me about important tips to keep her teeth healthy. The office is very clean and even had a play room for my daughter in the waiting area (although we didn't have to wait. . . . when we were leaving she wanted to stay and play). I would 100% recommend Drs. Carey & Jones to anyone looking for a dentist for their child! LOVED IT!

Dr. Jones, Dr. Carey and their entire staff have been absolutely wonderful. Every interaction with this office has been extremely positive. We were able to see them for a consultation, a second consultation to review how we would proceed and get my daughters braces on with an extremely short period of time.

Follow ups were a breeze and they have a great incentive program to make sure that the children take care of their teeth and braces. The office is bright, cheery and comfortable. The wait time is nonexistent and the appointment itself goes by fast and yet they are efficient in their work. I highly recommend this office to anyone who's looking for an orthodontist and/or a dentist for their child.
