After recently moving to Ankeny, I had concerns about dental care since I had faith in my dentist and periodontist in my former area. All concerns were calmed after vetting this place. Plus, they have a great internal policy for people without dental insurance that yields many positives.

I would like to thank Dr. Gelfond and his hygienist who were so thorough during my sons cleaning. They found some enlarged glands in his neck so he was made aware and had a CT scan to make sure there was no cancer in the glands. Thanks for being so thorough during your exams.
