Dr. Monteith has been my dentist for one year and my children's dentist for six months. I find her office to be peaceful and welcoming and my children (8 and 4) feel very comfortable in talking with her which, in turn, makes them more cooperative during treatment. I feel that her exams are very thorough and I'm especially appreciative that she doesn't do a "hard sell" for costmetic treatments as our previous dentist did. She informs without pressuring.
