In His Own Words
"The best thing about working in our practice with Dr. Rens, is the patient centric care that our team provides. We listen in a one-on-one environment to each patient to understand their questions, concerns, and the life they live outside of our office. We also understand our patients' time is important and we efficiently work with them in many ways which includes completing same day crowns." - Dr. Dan Gibson
