"My husband and I are fairly new patients at Columbia Family Dentistry and we're happy we chose them for our dental needs. The wait is never long and the inside is clean. I needed a bunch of work done last year and they made the appointments quick and seamless. Dr. McCarthy is very conscientious and I feel very comfortable asking him any questions I may have. I had my cleaning done today by Jennifer and she was considerate, attentive with her work and upbeat which made the appointment go by nicely. All the staff, including the ladies in the front office, are incredibly friendly and efficient. A solid practice for this area. Thanks!"
