Everyone here is very kind and wonderful; the rooms and open with big windows and lots to look at. I've been going here for a long time and will continue to do so!

I just started going to Dr. Ecker’s office and am so incredibly happy that I chose to come here! Procedures are painless, and everyone is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. They were able to make me feel extremely calm and comfortable when I was nervous about a procedure, and it ended up going way better than expected. Dr. Ecker and the rest of the staff are just wonderful!!

I have awful fear and anxiety about dental appointments, and if you have the same, I 100% recommend this place!!! Everyone is so so nice and Dr. Ecker is just about the kindest and calm man I've met. Very gentle, but works fast. Yesterday was the first time I'd received dental work at this office and it was the first time I've had a completely pain-free experience. I will only be coming here in the future.

Dr. Ecker is a very skilled dentist and is quite caring & compassionate. That being said, his staff is equally caring & compassionate. I had a dental emergency at a most inopportune time, and I was blessed that Kellie managed my call(s). She was kind, empathetic, concerned and competent. She “met me” where I was in my pain, and she provided me with steps to a solution. I was thankful then, and pleasantly surprised when she checked in on me a week later! True caring on that level is hard to see sometimes. Dr. Ecker’s patients are blessed by his outstanding staff!
Thank you, Kellie.
