Our Office

“I’m an anxious person when it comes to the dentist, but everyone here was so wonderful! The woman who checked me in, Brianna, was so friendly and explained all the costs to me up front which was unexpected and appreciated! The assistant was also so reassuring during the X-rays, and was helpful after the visit too. The doctor was friendly, informative, and I was way more relaxed during the cleaning than I thought I would be. They are a great team, who obviously work well together, so I feel very confident in going back for follow ups. If you’re someone who feels anxious, this is a great place to go!”

“I’ve been seeing Dr. Shirley for several years and there are various good reasons why I keep returning. The office has a lot of flexibility with appointment schedules and notify you in advance of an upcoming appointment, the staff are warm and inviting, the office is clean with options to listen to music, and Dr. Shirley is professional, detailed, thorough, and knowledgeable. He explains your dental cleaning and work in detail and walks you through any issue he finds. I really appreciate the work they do in keeping me comfortable through the whole process.”

“The service here is amazing and tailored to each patient. Dr. Shirley and his staff are extremely professional and offer later business hours, which works for me since I have a hard time leaving the office for appointments. The icing on the cake is the ability to choose your own music in the patient’s room. Helps ease my anxiety about dentist visits. I highly recommend UWS.”

“I started going to UWS Dental this year and have had such a positive experience. Dr. Shirley is very thorough and truly wants what is best for his patients. I tried a few other dental offices before this one, but none were as organized, reliable, and good as this one. Definitely the place to go if you’re looking for a permanent dentist in the city. Accepts Delta Dental for those curious!”
