Gia T.
I can't say enough about Dr. Eric and his team. They have provided a fun, safe, smooth experience for my kids during the most difficult of situations and procedures. Dr. Eric is warm, kind and just has a certain magic with kids in his energy. I drive an hour to see him for my children and its totally worth it. His style is also thorough and non-invasive. He is always balancing what is most effective with what will provide the least amount of stress on the children's bodies. Very grateful and highly recommend.

I have had the pleasure of working with Dr. Eric both professionally, and now personally. Recently, he did a lip and tongue release for my 7 week old daughter. He is so personable and thorough with explaining the procedures, aftercare, and answering any questions. His calm personality puts parents and kids at ease. He is incredibly collaborative with outside providers as well. He, and his team, are truly amazing and I cannot recommend them enough!

My wife and I just wanted to take the time to say thank you to Dr. Eric and his staff. My daughter's first dental experience was almost a year ago today, but its impact on her life can not be understated. It was identified by a nursing specialist that she had trouble breastfeeding due to a possible tongue tie. Dr. Eric and his wonderful assistant, Rosie, performed a double frenectomy on our baby girl shortly after, and the procedure went incredibly well. We noticed a difference in her immediately and we know we made the right choice!

Just a spectacular experience Dr Armakan and his staff. Great leadership and great team members across the board. They helped me with a frenectomy and were recommended by Myofunctional therapist as THE doctor to go see for the procedure. I am so happy I took her advice!
