Best dentist ever! She takes the time to listen and finds a way to help you. She’s one of the nicest people I’ve ever met, too. I highly recommend Dr. Carpenter. Also, the staff are the kindest, and most patient individuals I’ve ever come across. Going to the dentist here is a great experience, and painless in every way. I would give 100 stars if I could!
