Thank you BCS for always taking the time to help me through my anxiety. I have been coming to BCS for the past 8 years. Every time I have been treated with compassion and empathy. I have referred all my friends and family and they feel the same way. Dr. West and Dr. John's are so professional, kind and above all care deeply for their patients. Their entire staff are amazing. Yesterday Sara was my hygienist and I cannot put to words my gratitude. Sara you are phenomenal and I appreciate all time and care you took to help me feel comfortable. I will be asking for you every time I have my cleaning. And as always thank you to your front office staff who go above and beyond to keep things moving smoothly!
