Dr. Lord has been our family dentist for the past 25 years . I Have gone there since my first dentist appointment . If you're wondering , that would be 36 check -up appointments .. not including seperate appointments for fillings , braces and other dental work . I highly reccomend this dentist . I don't understand reviews that say this isn't a good dentist because all of the staff are absolutely wonderful . My mom has developed close friend-like relationships with the receptionists and they are very kind people . There is also a new dentist within the past year and he is so gentle and awesome !!! This is a great dentist for all ages , including children ! very good work , and very professional !
