I have been going to Briarwood Family Dentistry for years now. They have always treated me well. I have sensitive teeth issues and Nikki, my hygienist, always remembers and is very careful when cleaning those areas! Dr. Hanna is always cheerful and professional. I would recommend this office for all your dental needs.

My first-time patient appointment went very well. I had kind and caring hygienist, Nikki, and she was very gentle and did an excellent job. Dr. Hanna has a very a calm and reassuring presence, and I really appreciated that she didn’t seem rushed during her exam; I felt she genuinely cared about how I was doing. The reception and billing staff were also very friendly and helpful. I came to Briarwood Valley Dentistry on a recommendation from a friend and I was not disappointed! I will be recommending them to others.
Everyone from Dr. Hanna to Holly in financial was courteous, helpful and made me feel confortable having not been there for several years. Dr. Hanna is the best dentist I have had in my 68 years. Outstanding practice, explains everything fully and covers what my dental needs will be.
Another great visit at Briarwood Valley Dentistry. Thanks Nikki for my awesome cleaning and Dr Hanna for my exam. I appreciate all the expense the office has taken on to keep the place clean and safe from infection. It is not easy for businesses to absorb the enormous expense for equipment to practice in today’s COVID environment. You have gone above and beyond. Bravo!
Excellent care. I drive 40 miles each way for appointments for this reason.
They always do a Phenomenal job. I’ve been going for a few years now I couldn’t imagine going anywhere else. The best in Southwest Michigan!!! The people there treat you like your are extended family!!!
