I have been a patient of Dr. McGarr's for many years. One of his very nervous patients, I might add. He and his staff always try to make me feel calmer, and it usually works!
I have seen Dr. Buxton on a few emergency situations, and he is also a great dentist and very efficient. I have recommended this office to friends and they have been very happy too!
