    I went here as a kid and now I take my kiddo here and it's still as fantastic as it was 20 years ago. Love this place and the people!

    This review has been a LONG time coming, believe me.

    I saw Dr. Cortez legitimately 26 years ago in the year 2000. (check the receipts added to this review.) I'm not surprised Dr. Cortez is still crushing it in LB.

    I remember my first visit! He had a custom book made for me to help me understand teeth + why brushing/flossing was so important. It had my name written throughout the book as well. That kind of patient care has never happened to me since and I don't see it happening again! I remember thinking how cool that was when I was 8 years old.

    I found the book this past week when I was cleaning my mom's house. It even has a Polaroid of me in there...read full review

    Dr. Gloria really knows how to take care of kiddos! She’s great with our two year old and the hygienists who assist are awesome, too.
