What Our Patients Say

relief for the whole family

“Before finding Ilene, taking my dad to a dental cleaning was an exhausting, four- to five-hour ordeal. His mobility challenges made getting ready, traveling to the office, and getting settled back at home physically demanding for him and for our family. Having Ilene come to our home changed everything. Receiving quality dental care in a familiar, comfortable environment has made the experience so much easier for all of us. I can’t overstate the relief of having dental care come directly to him.” -Tori

A truly Personal Touch

“Ilene is such a kind and caring person. She is gentle, patient, and so thorough. She never makes me feel rushed, and she takes the time to explain things and make sure I’m comfortable. You can tell she truly cares about you as a person, not just as a patient. I feel very fortunate to have found her!” -Patricia

Much better experience for MY children with autism

“Having children with autism, finding dental care that feels comfortable and accommodating can be challenging. Ilene has been such a blessing to our family. She is patient, gentle, and understanding of each child’s individual needs. She never rushes the experience, but takes the time to help them feel safe and comfortable. Having her come to our home makes dental care so much less stressful. She also communicates with our children’s regular dentist about her findings and helps us understand what follow-up care may be needed. I’m so grateful to have found her!” -Rachel
