This is where you show off why patients should trust you. Education is the number one way to build confidence in perspective patients. Accreditations, associations, and other learning certificates further instill trust. Other things that help make patients believe you are the right choice are things like family, hobbies, community involvement, and fun quirks about your personality. Be yourself and don’t overthink it. (400-550 characters)

Had a tooth that all the dental clinics I went to all said I needed a root canal. But Joshua was able to fix my tooth without doing root canal. Great, honest, and excellent skills.

I hadn't seen a dentist for 17 years, the first practice I went to after my dental hiatus  was not clean and reminded me of a dental chop shop ,so I listened to my wife and switched to Cherokee. The building is clean, the techs are nice, and Dr. Joshua Vang did an amazing pain free job on the first cavities I've ever had filled. Thanks Dr. Joshua Vang and company!
It just, they listen to you, they understood my need.
