Dr Dent was very informative before doing the test ensuring I knew what was happening each step of the way and asked a lot of questions. Overall great experience.

Review for Dr. Dent
Have been following Dr Falconio from location to location since I moved to CA in 1995. She and her team (and her adorable doggies) are superb professionals and kind people. Her staff has been with this practice for decades. This says volumes about how Dr Falconio runs her clinic.
