Featured Review of Higson Dental Group - Dentist Grande Prairie by Pam H. on Google

I have been going to this dental office for 15 years or more. Three generations of my family go. Believe me, they go the extra mile to dispel any fears, especially for children, take the time to listen to any concerns, are professional, friendly and above all - are very good dentists, hygienists and dental assistants working in a relaxed atmosphere. Last time I was in I was surprised I could charge my cell phone while waiting for my appointment while my grandchild played in the modern equipped play area. For anyone with time restrictions this office runs on schedule.
