Chris Fitz
The professional treatment you receive by Dr. Masterson and his staff is unreal. Having come from a bigger city of Clearwater, FL, we had options upon options to find good care. One of the things we expected was to struggle to find a great dentist in a much smaller town. Well, it happened when we met Dr. Masterson and God willing, we will never leave this dentist until he retires. It's that simple.

I gave them a call for a dental emergency. From beginning an X-ray, to insurance & patients forms, to a new bridge completed by Dr. Michael Masterson & his crew, it was all done in no time! Payton & Dr. Masterson were wonderful from the very start. A total 5 Star plus experience. Give them a call, you will be glad you did for dental work.

This was my second visit to Dr. Swanson's dental practice and I was extremely impressed once again. I no longer have that "fear" of going to the dentist that has plagued me for years. The facility is sparkling clean, and the staff is amazing. My hygienist, Kim, explained the procedure she was doing and made me feel totally relaxed. Everyone is friendly and makes you feel welcome. On a score of 1 to 10 this dental office is a 10+.
