“Dr Bainer and all the staff at Southdale Dental showed me great kindness at my first appointment with them this morning. Being in the dental field, I know the routine very well of how things should be and Dr. Bainer did a top notch job on giving me a very thorough exam and assuring me that my dental health will be well taken care of at her clinic. Thanks for the nice welcome!”
