“Covington Dental was welcoming the second I walked in the door! The office manager was a huge help setting up my information, especially with insurance. Dr. Stueve actually spent time with me looking things over and answering all of my questions. I could tell that it is a wonderful work environment as there was chatter and laughter throughout the office. I would highly recommend!”
