I started my health career being a pharmacist and I went in the pharmacy and I just didn’t like anything about it. I had to decide at that point in time, I’ve got to do something different. So I knew some dentists at that time.
I talked with them about their profession. I went to their office and decided, hey, this really looks interesting. So went back to school to become a dentist and it’s been very enjoyable and really, really made the right decision.
The most rewarding part for me about being a dentist is the profound impact you can have on patients’ lives. It’s very enjoyable to have a patient come in that hasn’t smiled for many years and doing the treatment on them, giving them a mirror and just see the big grin on their face. Very enjoyable.

Another great visit, as usual. You won’t find a more professional, friendly and knowledgeable staff. Not to mention the office is extremely beautiful and clean. While visiting in the middle of my workday, work became hectic. I was allowed to use a quiet, closed door space to work on my laptop for an hour upon completion of my service. Simply the best!! Thanks Dr. Anderson and company.

Great place. I came in for a chipped tooth and was able to get a last minute appt for X-rays and then a follow up procedure appt 2 days later. Dentist and staff were all friendly and knowledgeable. I have yet to get my crown but very optimistic on the outcome. They also take care credit which allowed me to set up payment plan for the cost my insurance didn’t cover.

Great cost and an amazing team! I left smiling and every single staff member was so kind and helpful. I like to ask a lot of questions and Dr. Anderson is patient and nonjudgmental when explaining things. I will definitely be making this my permanent dentist!

I went to Dr. Anderson today for the first time. It was a very pleasant experience. I was introduced to all the staff and was given a tour of their office and set up. The appt I was there for today was quick but they took their time with me. Dr. Anderson made sure all my questions and expectations for my next appt were answered. He has Great Dr. / patient interaction. I will refer my friends and family to Dr. Andersons and the Gentle Art of Dentistry Office.

Dr. Anderson was great. I had a root canal done on a capped tooth as well as an extraction of a bad tooth. I had been looking for a decent dentist for some time and his office and staff met and exceeded my expectations. Thanks guys. I will be back.

Dr. Anderson and his staff are amazing! The calming atmosphere and sedation techniques were exactly what we needed. My 15 year old said it was the best dentist experience he has ever had. His favorite part was the Dr and Assistant Patty telling jokes, it really helped put his mind at ease. Thank you all so much!

Never been to the dentist in my LIFE and not experienced at least a LITTLE discomfort. No so here. I had a tooth extraction, and felt absolutely nothing. Staff is amazing. I’ll never go anywhere else now. 🙂
