Real Reviews. Real People.

“Dr. Katie Meister and the Staff are wonderful! They are all flexible, caring, patient, organized and thorough. I was referred by a friend for Invisalign and every-time going is the best dental experience and the results are amazing. I ended up making Family & Cosmetic Dentistry my primary dentist for cleanings, check-ups, etc.”

– Justin S.

“Dr. Schmidt is my new dentist, and I'm so glad I found him! He's top-notch and a real pro -- as are all of the staff. From the hygienists to the dental assistants to the front desk, each person is knowledgeable, kind and very pleasant to interact with. I can't believe I found him on a list of providers from my new dental plan. What luck! ”

- Susan B.

“Anita and Dr. Meister are both amazing. So incredibly friendly and welcoming. Anita is always so accommodating to my 7 yr old daughter, Ava, when she is there with me waiting. Joking with her etc. We absolutely love her!! <3 <3 <3 ”

– Sarah H.

“My first visit could not have gone any better. Everyone, including the receptionist, the hygienist, and the dentist, was so welcoming and made me feel at ease—not necessarily an easy thing to do at the dentist! Will definitely be recommending this delightful practice to family and friends. ”
