Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr Aro has been my dentist for 20 years. His office has the latest technology equipment. I recently had Dr Aro complete my denture procedure, including implants. Went so smoothly and was very informative on the entire process. Any questions or concerns, you may contact me. Dr Aro is the BEST!

Going downhill
In the beginning, 10 yrs ago, Dr Aro would see us (husband as well) even just to say hello. Most of the time we would just catch up. Slowly he spent less and less time in the office. Now down to 3 days/wk.The defining moment was needing my dentist on a weekend and left a message on the voicemail. Left a detailed message on the answering machine that said Someone will get back to you soon” but after many messages,” you guessed it, he called and I told him he didn’t go to the left. This is the second time it has happened. I studied hard to b able to “redo it!You r not listening to music, “ You are cruising and but to what is layered

This dentist needs much more education with patient contact. On two visits, he did not even greet me! A simple “Hello” with my name would be a well-learned courtesy. He walked in, looked at the one tooth I had a concern about, did not otherwise conduct the annual exam and gave a perfunctory explanation about my tooth. Really unsatisfactory dental care. The office otherwise is good. I would not recommend this dentist if you want to feel like a welcomed patient and receive informative dental advice.

Nice lobby. Jan.20,18. The 2 ladys that greet you in the lobby office are very knowledgeable and friendly. My issues are his choice of people he hires. Its clear his wife makes sure his final pick is one that doesn't threaten her feminine sensibilities. Welcoming, fair to behold, pleasing to the eye, are descriptions I cant use to describe my first kneejerk reaction. Rosie Odonnel and Rosanne Barr is a more fitting description. I know not everyone is born blessed with stunning beauty, but this

I had issue with a tooth that needed a crown also. I was able to get an appointment quickly and was surprised by Dr. Aro. He is conservative with dental work so instead of performing a full root canal he went in and performed a pulp cap for the crown. He guaranteed that if I had any discomfort or pain he would go in and perform the root canal without charging for another crown. The pulp cap worked, I saved money, and kept a live tooth all in a painless experience.

I would not recommend this dentist. I had a dental crown put in during the month of August 2015. I had much differculties after the procedure. Marisa, who is friendly but I suggest she have further training. On one occasion she removes my temporary crown, ex-rays my mouth then ask if I had swallowed my permanent crown which was still on the counter. Pain still present and after $1,300.00 I was informed I actually needed a root canal. I opt for tooth extraction of the permanent crown.
