E. G. (Verified Patient)

Dr. Pierce and everyone I have seen in their office has been great. They take time to answer my questions/ concerns and have 1st rate patient care.

T. G. (Verified Patient)

GREAT first appointment experience. The office is lovely and comfortable, which is very much appreciated when you’re getting a service that you can’t see. I didn’t have any issues to report, but felt like the exam was thorough enough that they would have caught one I was aware of.

E. C. (Verified Patient)

I’ve been a patient for 25 years.They are 1st class dental care. Dr. Knight is an extreme perfectionist and I believe her to be the best dentist in the KC area. My teeth haven’t lived the best life and the staff there have managed to make them very satisfying to say the least.
