My dentist retired and referred me to Dr. Bougher. A warm welcome awaited me and I felt I was in very competent hands. My experience was very positive and I'm scheduled to return, soon.

Very professional, helpful and thorough staff Javier, Marian, Stevie, and Driss. A huge thanks to Dr. Ahmedo for explaining and answering all my questions and concerns. Definitely recommend 5 stars ***** Dr. Ahmedo extracted my wisdom tooth 🦷 efficient quick and thorough and more importantly painless. If you are a patient like me that does not look forward to dentist visits I suggest you see Dr. Ahmedo the music in his practice and his positive demeanor make all the difference it's a whole mood.
