Being a apprehensive patience with a recent history of losing a trusted dentist of 35 yr and then going to unknown dentists in a short period is no fun. The dentist Levi had a reassuring manner while backing it up with a painfree confident professional experience.

The experience I had was nothing but positive. I had a root canal that was performed by Dr Kinsey and I could not have been happier with my treatment. The procedure was painless and efficient and I felt at ease the entire time. The entire staff at the Blaine practice was great!

The dental assistant, did an outstanding job of providing assistance - getting towel for my neck for comfort, answering questions, and ensuring we had a full understanding of the process and future possibilities. She called back the next day to chekc in and ensure everything was okay and to answer any questions. She was outstanding!!!

Dr Kinsey is the most professional, courteous, knowledgable Dentist I've ever seen...a super nice man. The exam was very thorough, he explained the results in detail, and presented options. It was a long drive to his office but well worth it. He has my highest recommendation.

I was recommended for a root canal issue and it was discovered this was a bone/tissue issue that could be solved by my regular dentist years ago. A follow up letter was going to be sent to my dentist with recommendations. Very professional not to perform unnecessary proceedure.
