Dr. Valerie is a god sent. She prioritized my call even as a new client and as someone with extreme anxiety, PTSD, and Tourette’s she quickly and efficiently fixed my tooth all while making sure I’m comfortable. I can’t believe I got so lucky and found her! 10/10 would recommend plus the staff are just as amazing

Excellent customer service!!! From setting up my initial appointment and the moment I walked into the establishment. Vanessa and Melissa are fantastic; they made me feel welcome. Dr. Waddell is one of a kind. She was very truthful about the procedure that I need. The front desk staff, hygienist, and office vibe made me feel at home.

I genuinely love this entire dentist office. Dr Waddell is so patient and caring. I am the biggest baby when it come to the dentist but she made me feel comfortable and helped me calm down. Her assistant Dolcy was just as patient with me. She had to keep taking X-rays but not once complained. Her secretary was just as sweet and kind when I came in and when I checked out.

Dr Waddell and her staff were professional, kind and courteous. I generally have high anxiety whenever I go to the dentist so I stopped going for a long while. Today, in spite of everything that I was feeling, I went to Dr Waddells office and I’m so glad that I did! Dr Waddell and two beautiful souls working the front desk made me feel welcome and seemed to be genuinely kind. I’m grateful that angels still exist. If ur hesitant about going to the dentist go see Dr Waddell - u won’t be disappointed.

Update: I had a follow up appointment with Dr Waddell and had another amazing visit. This time I worked with Dr Waddell and a lady that I only knew for her smiles. Dolcy was very warm and knowledgeable. If you are seeking a dentist that shows compassion give this office a call.
