My son had a wonderful experience here! The staff and assistants were super (especially Regina). My son even asked if he could come back the next day.

I had an amazing visit with my 4-year-old daughter. Dr. Foster and the team was amazing. My daughter, who is very afraid of doctors of any kind had a very successful visit without any crying, anxiety or frustration.

I came in today to get my 3 children's teeth checked out. The staff as a whole was amazing. They all were a delight to come into contact with. We were able to have Raquel the dental assistant to complete their cleaning. She was very nice, patient and explained what was going on with my kiddos. Dr. Foster was amazing as well. If you are looking for a great friendly place to take your children to get their teeth cleaned or any dental needs I 100% recommend Say Ahhhh Dentistry.

5 stars for everything!!! We have driven by this place so many times and I wished I would have walked in sooner! They treated my daughter like a princess and helped me relax as a parent! They walked me through every step and made us feel safe! Dr. Foster is amazing and will definitely make you feel at home! One of the nurses Ms. Regina was so helpful and loving! I could have hugged both of them because we felt so much love and they cared for us! Please go here! You will not regret it!
