Dr. Foster and the staff are so welcoming and amazing. I think it was Ian or Ivan (sorry for getting the name wrong) but they were amazing and gave really good advice. The team explained things well. My partner also had an appointment after me and he also says 5 stars!

Super friendly staff, and great to have a dentist that I trust in the area. Went here for a second opinion and so glad I did! “If I wouldn’t do it to my own teeth, I’m not going to recommend it.” Thank you so much!!!
