"My grandma was staying with me during the quarantine and she had a dental emergency. Dr. O'Shea and Brenda took care of her the next day. Dr. O'Shea was very helpful and gave my grandma a good diagnosis and help with her problem. It's so good to know we have Dr O'Shea and his team around during these trying times! 10/10 would recommend!"
"I have been a patient at Academy Dental Care for years and wouldn't go anywhere else. The staff to include Dr. O'Shea, Office Mgr., front desk personnel, hygienist, and all the remaining staff, are always courteous, professional, informative and caring. They always take you in on time and never rush you out. Before they begin the dental exam, they ask if there are any concerns or problems. The following exam is thorough and they discuss their evaluation with you. I highly recommend Academy Dental Care."
