Janet Williams - Receptionist
Janet is the friendly face you will see as you walk into our practice. She is a devoted team member and tries very hard to accommodate our patients in any way she can, especially when it comes to the difficult task of scheduling.

After having some cosmetic dentistry done by
Dr. Makarita, I was able to experience firsthand the dramatic difference a smile can make in one's self-esteem and self-confidence. Dr. Makarita treats all of his patients with diligence and care that is only surpassed by his clinical expertise.
