    Wait time was minimal. They called me before my first appointment and helped me complete my chart information. The person calling seemed extremely knowledgeable, kind, and helpful. They didn't drag me all over the clinic for every different aspect of my treatment. They came to me in the room. Dr. Sitti and his fellow were great! Explained everything thoroughly. My procedure went well. In and out in a very reasonable time frame.

    I would have like a little more explanation of what to expect if I elected to have the suggested surgery, as far as, how long it would take and recovery procedures. I'm sure these will be answered at a later to day. Everyone was very nice and the wait time was very minimal.

    While I am grateful to Dr. Sitti and his team for taking care of my dental situation, and to Dr. [ ] for operating, I can't say for sure if I would recommend it to anyone. It all depends on anyone who has dental insurance and is looking for a great recommendation. Overall, thank you to Dr. Sitti, Dr, [ ], and their team for all they have done.

    Everyone was great from checking in to check out and everything in between everybody was just awesome and even though they've ever heard me to another one of their colleagues, I would definitely go back and see them again if I could and will if I need to this is the best group of dental surgeons and professionals that I've ever . And if you're on the fence about a dental surgeon, definitely look into Dr. Sittitavornwong (aka Dr Sitti) he is awesome.
