I had the best experience at the Holland Rd location. Dr. Z explained everything to me. I have never had a dentist that took the time to explain my options. His staff put me at ease right away. I highly recommend this location.

Update 14MAY25: Michelle is an amazing hygienist and Dr. Z is heckin’ attentive. Still absolutely adoring the care from these folks!
