Surprisingly Enjoyable Experience
"I have had some terrible experiences going to the dentist in the past and dreaded showing up for my appointments, but not any longer. I have had a few procedures done (crown and fillings) and each of them were surprisingly enjoyable experiences. I had minimal pain. I would recommend anyone to Dr. Brandon Millard." – Jay
