From the warm smiles and calming scents when you enter the office, the team at The Flossery were incredibly kind, patient, knowledgeable and caring. Kenny is the Dental Assistant with a beautiful smile and a caring demeanor. He did my intake, exams and overall welcoming to the practice and laid out the details of the appointment with the doctor. He took notes, stopping to ask for clarification and when it got overwhelming for me, handed me a tissue with a warm smile. Just the best! Dr. Santander did my exam and discussed with me the options of my needed procedure, helping me digest the options and explaining, with great detail, what comes next. She was patient, extremely caring and knowledgeable. I felt cared for and heard, after nearly a decade of health issues and specialists telling me “nothing is wrong”. This team is remarkable and I’m excited for the journey ahead in their care.
Dr. Santander is excellent caring compassionate supportive thorough calming well spoken and provides information that is easy to understand and not feel overwhelmed by. I am in need of much repair and restorative dental work for jaw and tissue infection. I am excited to be on a healing journey with Dr. Santander.
