I have been with Dr. Cowherd’s crew for over a decade. The only reason I am no longer a patient is because I moved out of state. I wish I would take them with me! I had a crown done with him at the very beginning and nothing but awesome cleanings ever since. After that first visit, I wasn’t nervous about the dentist anymore. Highly recommended!

My first visit was great. The staff was very up-beat and friendly and the dental hygienist was very thorough and explained the process including x-rays. Highly recommend if you are looking for a great dentist!

From the moment I walked in the door, every single person was warm and welcoming. I was very nervous. Katie (dental assistant) immediately reassured me and put me at ease. Dr. Cowherd was so kind and patient. He acknowledged my nervousness and checked in with me periodically throughout the exam. At the end of the exam, he gave a clear explanation of next steps and answered all my questions.
