Outside the OfficeI love practicing dentistry in my hometown with my brother, Dave Stevens. When I’m not working to make smiles brighter and teeth healthier I love spending time with my wife, Jessica and my three children.
Going to the dentist used to be such an awful experience, till I started going to the amazing Dr. Chris Stevens. He is so friendly and gentle. His staff is helpful and professional. I recently had to get a crown done and it was quick and painless. Thank you, Dr. Stevens and staff!
Michelle S.
Dr. Kim is very gentle and takes time to answer any questions I have (and I always have plenty). The girls are so sweet and take the best care of me. I actually enjoy coming in and always feel so comfortable.
Meagan H.
I absolutely love this place! I am telling all of my family and friends how great Dr. Jung and his team are. They made me feel welcome and comfortable.
Cierra B.
I have been receiving dental care from this same office for 42 years. I could go anywhere, but I have stayed with Dental Health Associates and Dr. David Stevens because of the exceptional care, attention to detail, and pleasant atmosphere. The entire staff are simply terrific! I actually LIKE going to the dentist and I love to show off my smile!
Melinda S.
I started going to Dr. Stevens in the early 80s. He is amazing with his chairside manner, compassion, and professionalism. He has given me a beautiful smile with veneers. He is never satisfied with ‘acceptable’ but will only accept perfection. I love the way he treats all of his patients and staff. He is gentle and kind. This is the only dental office I would want to go to.
Glenda S.
This has got to be one of the best dentist offices. I am petrified of the dentist and have avoided them for years. But because of the kindness and care I have received from Dr. Kim and the entire staff at this office, I can now walk comfortably into the office and intend to continue regularly. I am currently undergoing extensive dental work. Everybody I have dealt with here has shown nothing but extraordinary customer service.
Debbie G.
I had my first crown the other morning. I have never had a bad dental experience, but we have all heard horror stories about crowns. I will say, it was a great experience. Dr. Jung and Melinda were wonderful, friendly, and professional. They answered all my questions and I was able to watch as my crown was created. My hygienist, Marcy, the best ever, even stopped in to say hello. The front staff is friendly and efficient as well. I don’t think I have ever waited more than five minutes for an appointment.
M.D.
Dr. David Stevens is awesome! He does all he can to make his patients comfortable and clearly explains things and listens. Great staff and facility.
Lewis N.
You are greeted with a smile and you hear laughter. That is a great place to go to get service and a good work environment. Keep up the good customer service. I have mentioned the treatment I recieed to co-workers.
Sherwin F.
As always its a pleasure dealing with the staff and Dr. Jung. They are always good to me and we have a lot of laughs. This is the reason I have not changed dentists.
