I've been going to Aquila for a few years. Friendly staff and great experience every time. My hygienist Dawnie is so nice, always fun to see her and chat. I had a root canal and crown done by Dr. Higgs and have had no further issues. Even though I live across the valley, it's worth the drive!

It's been a long time coming and I'm shocked I haven't wrote a review by now!Dr. Higgs and his staff have been some of the best people to work with over the years. My husband and daughter both go here as well. Unfortunately, since I have a rare tooth disease I visit the dentist more than the average person and the amount of bad experiences I've had with other dentists out weigh the good.I've tested out an embarrassing amount of dentists on both the east and west side, but this place is the only one I've never had a single bad experience.Injections are pain free and Dr. Higgs crowns are the only ones left in my mouth (the rest other dentists did and they had to be pulled). He's definitely not a "salesman" and he never tries to burn a hole in my pocket. All the procedures are necessary and he's been direct several times if I've asked for something that might not be wise. But really, the no pain is where he stands above the rest.As for the staff I'm not sure who does hiring, but they obviously have a good read on people. I've never worked with anyone there I didn't like or felt was "off" or rude. The front desk knows their billing (many offices don't) and the hygienists are some of the sweetest gals I've met in the medical field.I really can't say enough about this office and the staff, it's been an easy ride for me and I'll continue to work with them in the future.

Great people and great service. I have been here for several years and I am pretty happy with them. The dental hygienist Emily does a really good job and very gentle. Mary used to work there was also great but she retired. I don't like it when some hygienist cleans my teeth and gums are all bleeding. Emily does not do that. She is cleans without the pain and gum irritation afterwards. Highly recommend her.

I have been going to this office for over two years. I found it off a recommendation from a co-worker after a bad experience at another office.Aquila Dental is phenomenal! From the lovely ladies at the front desk, to the doctors and hygienists, to the amazing ladies who go over the billing with you, they are all incredible. The staff truly care about their patients and the experiences they have when getting care in this office. The office itself is very nice, and offers amenities you won't find everywhere. The true gem here is still the staff. They exhibit patience when the patient needs it. They are thorough with explanations. And when it comes right down to it, they are some of the absolute best at what they do! If you want a great experience with highly skilled professionals, I highly recommend Aquila Dental.

Has the best hygienist in any dental practice I've ever been to. And the Dentists are important of course, but the hygienists that does all the cleaning and main work on my teeth have always been an important personnel preference. I would recommend Aquila Dental to anyone who had a bad dental experience, I'm certain they will not dissapoint.

Just finished the second of two deep cleaning sessions with Dannie. Amazing, simply amazing. We discussed the procedure in depth before she started and Dannie went out of her way to make me comfortable and ready. I can say with all sincerity that I have never experienced such great treatment at any dentist’s office. We even managed to have fun while undergoing the procedure. I can’t recommend Aquila Dental more highly than a five on this site; but they deserve a 10!!! Thank you Dannie for taking such great care of me. (And for all the bad jokes, both yours and mine.). See you in a few months.Rick
