Our Latest Patient Testimonial

Great staff, knowledgeable, attentive, friendly, enthusiastic, efficient. As a retired physician I am of course careful about my own and my family’s health care and Dr Heggland exceeded my own expectations from the recommendations from our dentists and his patients and I would recommend his practice unhesitatingly.
