Troy Walton, DDS

I had a rough tooth and Dr. Walton quickly found out why and fixed it that day! He was so kind and patient and always does such a great job. While my tooth was being fixed he asked his assistant what her plans for the weekend were… which I thought was so nice. He truly cares about his staff and his patients. I always have a great experience at Redwood Dental!
