      "The dental hygienist did a superb job of cleaning my teeth and checking my gums. She is the very best!

      I also appreciated Virginia spending time with me to explain--with models--some future issues with two of my molars--and how to maximize the probability that no dentistry will be needed.

      "The office is friendly and centrally located in Orinda but still has good parking in the rear. Dr. Ellis explains all found on the exam. She has the equipment that aids her diagnoses and that add evidence to her visual findings. All of this greatly helps the patient in understanding the potential problem and the treatment. She provides an estimate for services. One family member has had a filling and no problem. "

      "15 minutes' wait is not in any way an issue, as Dr. Ellis was kind enough to squeeze me in between patients due to an unexpected problem. The waiting room is comfortable and I was kept updated. Once in the examining room, I received superb care and attention."

      "It has been 25 yrs plus since I had to change dentists, due to their retirement. I was very happy with the time Dr. Kortright spent, to find a replacement that would fit in well with her long time patients.
      Dr. Ellis took the time to get to know our teeth, and dental history, and our life styles, as they affect our teeth and dental health. She was pleasant, very easy going, and happy to answer all our questions. As my adult children and I have very different dental needs, Dr. Ellis took the time to education each of us, in what will work best for us.
      Dr. Ellis was also willing to come in extra early, on very two days notice, to treat my son, up here visiting from Los Angeles. He was extremely impressed with her care and concern, and had a "happy" dental experience, which is not something he usually had.
      We are very, very happy to have Dr. Ellis, the old staff and the new staff, serving our dental needs.
