About Front Desk: Friendly and well trained staff. Julia (patient concierge) is well versed with dentistry (was a dental assistant), and she is the go between the patient and Dr. Linger. Like everyone at the clinic, she is personable, attentive, caring, and efficient. Not having dental insurance, she offered annual maintenance contract that entitled me to special discounts for implants and crowns. In the final analysis, this discount made a big difference. She sold me on coming to see Dr. Linger and I am glad I did.

Hygiene rating:

About Hygienist: I had a great periodontal hygienist prior to switching to Dr. Linger. Needless to say that Ashley, one of his hygienists, surpassed all my expectations. She used the latest equipment, was attentive to my comfort, while doing a great job of cleaning, polishing, taking and dictating periodontal pocket readings. The stains I had on my teeth due to the use of post-surgery mouth rinse were entirely removed, and I left the office with much whiter teeth. I can't brag enough about how great Ashley is!

Hygiene time: 60
