Dr. Petras has been my dentist for as long as I can remember. He is also my sons dentist. He is definately the kindest, most caring and professional doctor I have ever seen. He is an exceptional dentist who goes above and beyond for his clients. The level of care he has for his clients and the effort he gives is unheard of these days. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for an amazing dentist!!
Having had some horrific experiences in the past, I was a little (okay, a lot) nervous about my appointment. Such a clean waiting room to greet us, and friendly staff. Dr. Sandra and her assistant Angela were wonderful during my 90 minutes in the chair. Yes, I need to go back, but with far more confidence than yesterday. Thank you!
I can honestly say that this is the best dental office I’ve ever worked with. The staff are all very kind and the wait times are minimal. What’s impressive is that your dentist actually does the cleanings for you. They are fantastic with my two small children and always make us feel comfortable. I have never had an issue with any of the dental worked performed on me and I’m always in and out in a very timely manner. I highly recommend Petras !
