what our patients are saying

  • "Dr. Kido did an excellent job replacing a broken filling. The experience was pain free. The Receptionists are probably the nicest you will find anywhere, from a warm greeting until the moment I left."

  • "My husband and I were Dr. Lovelace's first patients. We absolutely LOVE her. Then along comes Dr. Kido! And she married him! We love him also. They have saved teeth that were on the brink of death. They are kind, caring, professional, and even come in after hours if you need emergency care. They are gentle and concerned about their patient's comfort. Now I am on second generation. Their son did my work last time and found him carrying on their legacy. Hope we never have to go anywhere else.
