What our Patients Say
-
My tooth was falling out in pieces and I was nervous about getting it pulled. I was surprised at Dr. Raphael and her staff. They were so informative and welcoming, and I did not feel anything. I will definitely keep seeing them for my dental needs.

I have been able to sustain a positive recovery after struggling with opiate addiction for 20+ years, thanks to the DCHC Addiction Medicine Program. I have a positive outlook, and I’ve got my life back, finally. The staff here are all very caring and I am forever grateful for them!
