I cannot say enough about this office. Dr. Birch is amazing, the whole office is caring, friendly and very... professional. I got my upper partials today and when I looked in the mirror, I’m not gonna lie, I had a couple of tears in there. Everything matches well with them, you can barely tell that I have partials in. I am a person who loves to smile and Dr. Birch and his staff gave me my smile back! When I say they went above and beyond for me, I truly mean they went above and beyond! I would recommend this office to anyone and everyone! Thank you Dr. Birch and his amazing staff! I will be back for my bottom partials for sure!read more
