I cannot thank Dr. Byrne and his wonderful staff enough, for their professionalism and genuine care for me, as one their patients. I have always been terrified of dentists, but Dr. Byrne manages to completely dispel any anxiety. He very carefully examines what is going on in my mouth and then gives very clear options for moving forward. He never recommends work that is not absolutely necessary. Ten out of five! Bravo!

I just moved here and had a filling fall out, like gaping hole in my tooth and everything. I called and was able to get an appointment next day and then within 2 weeks I was able to get multiple fillings fixed and a cleaning. Everyone is soo nice and personable. 10/10 would recommend.

When you walk into the office everyone is friendly and then when you go back they talk you through everything. They don't just stick you in a chair. Dr. Byrne is relaxing and patient with his patients.

Since childhood I have been "afraid" of going to the dentist. Dr. Byrne's patient, kind and very professional manner has alleviated my fears. He is always very thorough, presenting all options and explaining exactly what is happening, His staff is also professional, courteous, and friendly. My husband is also one of his patients. I highly recommend him to my friends an newcomers to our area.
