Zoe Dental Reviews
These Patients Have a Whole New Perspective on the Dentist
I was REALLY impressed with the quality of services and care at Zoe. Allowing a patient to choose what amenities (radio, massage devices, blankets, etc.) they wanted to indulge in was a first for me at any medical practice. Not to mention a gift bag and friendly consultation asking me what was important when I considered dentistry services. I’ve had great experiences with other dentists in the past but Zoe has surpassed them all!
