Even though I am out of network for Dr. Small, I love coming to this practice because the staff treats me like family. My kids grew up at this practice! Meticulous cleaning and detailed explanation of the underlying teeth issues are exceptional.
I highly recommend Dr Kaitlin Small and her friendly, professional staff at Small Dental. My husband and I have gone there for dental visits for many years.
Have been going to this practice every six months since moving to the Princeton area of New Jersey in 1996 and recommend it for perfect dental attention every time.
