I went Dr. Strief for an emergency visit and have nothing but great things to say! I've never been one who enjoys the dentist but after leaving their office I felt great! They made me feel comfortable the whole time and communicate everything that's going on! Amie at the front desk was awesome! She helped me out in any possible way she could. Great place with even better people! 5 starts is selling them short! Highly recommend this office to anyone
