Both of my sons have gone to Dr. Preece & both have had to have surgery. The office visits were always wonderful and they even had games for the kids to play while waiting in the chairs. My first son had surgery when he was 4 and he is now 12 and doing great. My youngest also had surgery when he was 4 and Dr. Preece not only gave him a stuffed animal to take into surgery he also came by our room before the surgery to pray with us for a successful surgery. He is everything i would want in a dentist!
