Dentist in boone, NC

I was delighted to be seen by the staff at Mountaineer Dental. The front office staff, dentist, and hygienist were patient, thorough, and kind. Excellent bedside manner, which is refreshing in such a fast paced world where corporate medicine is the norm. My husband and I are excited to have a new hometown dentist!
