I received an appointment very quickly for my cracked tooth. Dr. Donnelly's staff was excellent...I never experienced any anxieties and all my questions were answered.

I had such a great experience that I made appointments for my son and husband before I left.

I love this place. I got my first root canal here and the staff was so sweet and made me feel a lot less nervous. Doctor Donnelly was amazing and reassured me many times that nothing would hurt. I got to listen to music and they have massage chairs. I felt super comfortable and would recommend this place to everyone in the San Marcos area. AMAZING!!
