I'd not been here before, I called in the morning and was in by 11:00. I had a back molar that was hurting so bad!! Also I don't have insurance due the pandemic. They worked with me and I received a discount. Extracted the tooth within just a few mins. Very friendly staff, Dr. Scott Mahlin is amazing he has had his business in Chesterfield for 30 years. I plan to return to him again. Very satisfied. Thank you,
