Dr. Rick and Mallori took excellent care of me during surgery. Great care and preparation during the entire surgery. The initial consultation with Dr. Sully and Jess was extremely detailed. The financing options are plentiful. A family member’s experience motivated my decision in choosing Sullivan Dental Partners. The all-in-one place care was a huge consideration. No back and forth visits with multiple dental doctors. Complete in house care.

Everyone was so nice and made you feel at ease. The girl that did all my X-rays and other tests was so sweet. Jess explained everything so well for my upcoming procedure. Dr Sullivan treated me with kindness also. They all helped take away some of my embarrassment. I can hardly wait for my new smile!

I put off my teeth for decades. DECADES. Embarrassed, anxious, convinced I’d get lectured. I felt hopeless. From the moment I walked into Sullivan, none of that happened.I needed a lot: crowns, fillings, and a gum procedure. Dr. Amber and the rest of amazing staff treated me like a person, not a burden. They explained everything before they touched anything, checked in constantly, and never made me feel small for how long I’d waited.I smile now. I didn’t before.I can’t remember the last time a dentist’s office made me feel this cared for. If you’ve been avoiding the dentist like I was, stop. Go here. You’ll be glad you did.
