I suffer from extreme anxiety, and before becoming a patient there I had a lot of fear about the dentist stemming from childhood experiences where my pain was ignored.

Dr. Burgess is wonderful! He's very nice and welcoming to his patients, and knowledgeable and thorough in his work. His daughter is also a dentist in this office too and she is top notch.

I've been going here for dental services for years and wouldn't go anywhere else in Charleston.
