Dr. Bhattarai has been fabulous to work with. She was able to perform an extraction with bone graft in office which was incredible. I had no complications and know that my care and comfort is her upmost priority during every visit.

I’ve been coming to this practice since I was a kid and have always had a great experience! The entire staff is extremely kind, patient, and good at explaining everything step by step. They’ve never pushed unnecessary treatments and have literally sat next to me as I called dental specialists to set up work I’ve needed done, just to make sure I felt comfortable. I couldn’t recommend them enough!
