My first time going, I noticed that everyone was friendly. The ambiance was warm and uplifting with good music playing. They asked what my concerns were instead of just suggesting treatments right away and they asked what exactly I wanted for my smile. I love that and how they paid attention to detail. In addition to that, they explain EVERYTHING to you. I had little to no questions because they were so thorough.

I am always greeted with friendly smiles. So much genuine care is put into every visit. The dentist and staff prioritize each patient’s comfort and they deliver quality care. And their dog, April, is beyond precious. I have been recommending them to everyone.

Was my first visit to Greenwood Dental today I was very impressed with everything! As I have always been apprehensive about someone “poking “ around in my mouth, I felt very comfortable with Dr. Kurziak doing a complete examination of my teeth, along with Dawn, the hygienist!! Doctor found a couple of issues, one I had known about and the other was very similar so I made an appointment to get this resolved! Also, there is a “comfort dog” on Wednesday to help allay someone’s apprehension, and “April “ the comfort pup, jumped on my lap and she really helped me relax!! As we have two Golden Retrievers, and I love dogs, April sure made my visit a lot less stressful!!! My wife also visited Greenwood Dental today, and she was very impressed and happy with the service!! We are certainly happy and glad we chose Greenwood Dental!😁 We would both HIGHLY recommend Greenwood Dental!!
