Everyone is so friendly every time we have been here! I am so grateful for Dr. Halum and his staff! All of the friendly faces and Dr. Halum's knowledge and patience explaining everything means a lot! I have never had a bad experience here. I highly recommend Dr.

Halum and his staff! I am so glad I found them! My daughter was terrified of the dentist in the past. I started bringing her to Dr. Halum and she absolutely loves visiting his office!

The dentist and staff did so well with the transition of my kids coming from a traumatic situation from Kool smiles. He did an amazing job for both our kids. I recommend him highly. Our kids love him. Thank u so much for making their dentist experience way better.

This was my daughter’s first visit and everyone was amazing. They did a great job at making her feel comfortable and explained how they would clean her teeth. The hygienist also had her touch each tool. I am very happy with our visit. She is excited to go back.
