The staff are wonderful. They are always upbeat and friendly. They greet you with a smile and make it a point to call you by name. And the quality of service is wonderful. But, one of the things that impresses me the most is they start every day with prayer. I can not recommend this team highly enough. They are a blessing.

I had an enriching experience at the dentist office this morning. Yes, that’s right, an enjoyable experience!! Sydney was the dental hygienist. She was very pleasant and gentle.
Also, with the enriching conversation, it was like I was only in the chair for a brief period of time! I would like to say thank you to Dr. McMurray and his friendly staff!!!!

I have always had wonderful care at Dr McMurrays office. Everyone is extremely pleasant and caring. They are all so knowledgeable and my favorite part is that he and his staff take the time to explain everything they are going to do along with allowing me to make the final decision on my procedure. I drive an hour to get my dental care because I believe he is the best !

Jay is a wonderful dentist….the best of the best! ❤️
(That’s coming from a girl with a long history of being terrified of going to the dentist. 😂)
I especially appreciate the way he explains each procedure in detail, puts you at ease during the procedure, is extremely knowledgeable and caring, and is truly concerned about your dental health.
His office staff and his assistants are an amazing asset to his practice! They always make me feel welcomed and very special.
Laurens is very fortunate to have such skilled professionals and wonderful folks to care for your every dental need!
