Andrea B.
“As always, St. Simons Island Dental delivered with an excellent visit. Starting with the warm welcome from the office staff to Erin's thorough cleaning, I'm always glad I came. To complete the visit, Dr. Thompson stopped in to check on me afterward, providing more reassurance. I couldn't be happier with this office's service. That's why I continue to make the 1 hr. and 35 minute commute!”
