Reviews for Richard Teel

Dr. Teel and Caroline are great- thanks for making my ortho experience a positive and comfortable one!

Great with kids. My daughter loves the dentist. Always gets prizes and always has lots of fun.

This place has always treated us well. Very good doctor, assistants, hygienists, receptionists. Definitely a decent place, especially when you consider how many children they must work on every day, and how hectic and complex it must be, working at a dental clinic. I admire them.
