Practice Profile Page

Dr. McQuinn is the finite difference between dentistry as profession, and dentistry as one’s calling in life. And I am the classic patient that would put the Dali Lama to his spiritual test. An Air Force brat, I cut my teeth (pardon the pun) on military dentists, and by the time I reached Dr. McQuinn I was a Hollywood Hybrid mouth built on spit and bubblegum and ravaged by bone loss and bad dental choices. Over the course of almost 35 years (34 and 11 months of which were spent passed out cold under anesthesia in his chair) he managed to baby my smile through disaster after disaster – caps to implants to ‘appliances’ that snapped in…….until the day we hit the wall. The piece of metal that secured the implants snapped – and suddenly my world shifted. I flew into town not knowing what I would face when they woke me up – if the metal brace wasn’t secure, the appliance (read denture) wouldn’t snap in. Plus I made my living in front of the public…which made everything tougher. We dodged a bullet on that one, for a minute. He managed to temporarily screw the pieces back together – but we knew I had to come back in and figure out something permanent. Memorial Day weekend turned out to be the perfect storm – (also the most time I’d ever spent with Dr. McQuinn AWAKE). Not only did he come in on a holiday, carry the pieces of the metal bridge to the lab – he had to run down a lab who had someone willing to take it on, because true to form, nothing was simple. It turned out – no one knew exactly what kind of metal it was…. And after it was finally repaired, there followed hours of tedious adjustment in the office while he tried to fit it back into the ‘appliance’…(and I didn’t get to sleep through this one). It was over the course of those days that I realized just how committed Dr. McQuinn was to helping me find the very best solution. When I left for home, with a hard won ‘workable’ upper smile – Dr. McQuinn was already laying plans to begin a better one. There’s nothing more lonely than being on the declining end of your facial impact – when your bone structure starts to shift and part of your smile is pulling to the side – when all the ‘Artifice R Us’ tricks up your sleeve aren’t enough to compensate for the crippling blow to your self confidence. I have no idea if you go up to this site, Dr. McQuinn, and I don’t want to go girlie and squishy on you at this late date – but suffice to say: I don’t think I could have handled all this without you there. You are my hero in this life. Chris C. ps – Woo Hoo? Couldn’t they come up with something a bit more dignified

This office has excellent costumer service! I was immediately greeted upon entering the office by the office manager Rose. I have had my teeth cleaned by both Hygienists: Minoo and Norina and I can attest to their phenomenal skills; my teeth have never felt so clean! I have also had work done by Dr. McQuinn and his assistant Ruby and was astounded by his attentiveness to my comfort and provided an overall amazing experience. I would recommend this office to anyone and everyone because simply put, they are the best!

His work is fantastic and he knows his stuff. I had some crowns done by him that even other dentists said “tell your dentist he did a fantastic job”. And if he cannot solve the problem – will do his best to find someone who can. The staff are so nice and they all will do their best to accommodate you. I know for a fact Dr. McQuinn has gone in on weekend to help one of his patients. Thanks Dr. McQuinn and his wonderful staff for everything. Keep up the good work. And his dental hygienist Minoo – is something else. Gum disease or gingivitis doesn’t stand a chance against her. Keep up your fantastic cleaning.
