Dr. Hicks and his staff are very friendly!  My daughter loves him and he made the overall experience of seeing a dentist (which can be scary for a 5 year old) very fun and enjoyable.  He took the time to thoroughly explain everything to my daughter and I got to sit in and watch everything, which made her feel a lot more comfortable.  He also took the time to make sure any questions were answered.  Not to mention the office itself is very clean and nicely decorated with TV screens above the dental chairs.  Highly recommend!
