I was not a fan of going to the dentist! One might say afraid… but thanks to the amazing team at Fisher & Orfaly I am back on track with my 6 month cleanings. The team did an amazing job calming my fears and I can actually say I may even enjoy going to the dentist now! The team is professional, accommodating, and they do a fabulous job cleaning my teeth! I am so grateful that they have me back on track with great dental habits. They certainly have given me something to smile about.

Dr Orfaly is the best dentist around! I have alot of anxiety around going to the dentist & Dr Orfaly always makes sure to check in to see how I'm doing & is so nice. If a referral is needed to a specialist, he makes the call for you & gets you an appt quickly (mine was even the same day) I love how they book you with the same dental hygienist for all cleanings.. Adds another level of comfort... Shoutout to mine, Kathy!! 😊

Dr. Oraly did my cleaning during today's visit. The experience was not only wonderful, but he also made sure to fix a tooth sensitivity issue I have been experiencing by bonding the tooth to resolve the problem. I would highly recommend Dr. Oraly to anyone looking for a quality dentist with a professional and courteous staff. Taylor is my regular hygienist who educates me and always makes sure any issues I have with my teeth get fixed. It feels awesome to go to a dentist's office that I know I can trust and have complete confidence in as far as terrific dental care goes. I definitely give this office a 5 star rating. - Wade D.

After having a negative experience with a filling with a past dentist, I was nervous to go to a new dentist with tooth pain. Dr. Orfaly and team were very understanding and knowledgable when walking me through my options for a cracked tooth. 10/10 would recommend due to their professionalism, attention to detail, and level of care. Thanks team!

I would give 10 stars if I could! I’ve been a patient of Dr Orfaly for about 20yrs. I was so happy with his work I followed him when he moved to Salem to partner with Dr Fisher. The kindness, compassion and professionalism from each and every staff member is commendable. I have had quite a few issues with my teeth and Dr Orfaly (along with his right hand girl Mirella!) has been there to help fix and support me beyond what one would expect. Aside from being up to date on the latest and greatest in dentistry everyone here treats you like an old friend not just a patient. I look forward to my cleanings with Kathy not only because her humor makes for a great visit but because of her attention to detail in getting the job done. I HIGHLY recommend this practice. It’s a fact...there isn’t anyone better!
