Review by danah, PROVO
"I love this office. I have received the best dental health education from here and have had better oral health because of it. I especially love Dr. Peacock although I know he is retiring soon. The office staff are friendly and helpful (which I haven't found at any other medical office) and the hygienists are gentle with my sensitive mouth. They care about you at this office. I love it!"

"Very courteous staff, and detail-oriented. Always happy to make sure my teeth feel great. No issue is too small. Even if my bite just doesn't feel quite right sometime after service they are happy to adjust it until they know I feel satisfied. I recommend this dental team to anyone who is looking for top-notch service from an outstanding staff."
