“Montgomery Dentistry was my first job in dentistry. They took a chance on me due to my background in customer service and I took a chance on them. This is one of the best decisions I ever made, from the inspiration the doctors instill in me, to the relationships I have built over the years with my peers and out patients. This is not just a job, but a family!”
