"I sought a second opinion regarding a permanent bridge and met and consulted with Dr. Throop. After an examination that included x-rays, I decided to go ahead with the procedure. I was a little apprehensive, but Dr. Throop and her staff allayed my fears. I am quite happy with my new bridge and highly recommend Dr. Throop and her City of Oaks Dental practice."

"I've been a patient of this practice since I was a kid.. I'm 54 years old now.. When I started, it was Dr. Edwards..until I was about 20 years old.. then Dr. Makely took over the practice and was my dentist until just a few years ago.. I remember when Dr. Makely retired taking the time to find the right fit for the Practice.. I've always had great service! From the time I was a kid until now when Dr. Throop took the helm.. Everything at the Practice has always flowed smoothly and working with Dr. Throop you feel like she is there for you.. answering any questions you have about your dental care.. Especially as you get older and start have more dental issues that may need addressing.. Dr. Makely did a great job finding Dr. Throop to take over the practice..Just as the great care both Dr. Edwards and Makely have given me and my family all these years..I recommend Dr. Throop and her team to anyone who wants to receive a more personal touch to their dental care.."
