Testimonials

  • Tyler Smith

    I am very impressed with this practice. This was the first dentist I have visited where I felt like more than an assignment. Dr. Edwards was extremely thorough for my initial visit, and took time to assess far more than just obvious problems. I feel confident that his suggestions will be for the betterment of my health, and not to merely make money from it.

  • Cindy Borgerding

    Dr Edward’s and staff are amazing!! I had an emergency, a very infected tooth. Dr Edward’s called me back right away and prescribed me medication. Before my first appt he sat me down and explained everything and ask if I had any problems or questions. He come up with a plan and we discussed everything. I can’t say enough great things about him and his staff. You won’t meet friendlier, knowledgeable people. I highly recommend them!!

  • Jason Reynolds

    I've always had anxiety going to the dentist when I was younger. Ever since going to Optima, for several years now. Dr Edwards and his staff have been wonderful. Someone close to me refused to go to the Dentist, until she started going to Dr Edwards. He is very patient and makes sure you are comfortable and not in any pain.
