I appreciate Dr. Rowlands methodical and patient approach to a long term complicated dental 'restructuring'. And thanks to DD for her support and expert handling of my situation, adding a bit of needed humor as well!

    Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Roland is an EXCELLENT dentist! I'm a senior with age related gum recission. Dr. R told me I was a good candidate for Exosome therapy - something I had never even heard of before. She sent me some articles about it and we tried a treatment - easy and painless. I am so amazed and pleased with the regenerated gum tissue results in a few short weeks and continued improvement months later. I'm thankful and impressed that Dr. Roland is so informed about new dental therapy procedures and skillful in its application.
