I can’t recommend Tam Vista Dentistry highly enough! From the moment I walked through the door, I was greeted with a warm and welcoming atmosphere that instantly put me at ease. The entire team is friendly, professional, and highly attentive to their patients’ needs.

Dr. Scott is outstanding—thorough, gentle, and incredibly knowledgeable. He takes the time to explain every step of the process, ensuring I always feel comfortable and informed. The office itself is spotless, modern, and equipped with state-of-the-art technology, which makes every visit efficient and stress-free.

Whether it’s for routine cleanings or more involved procedures, I’ve always felt confident I’m in the best hands. Tam Vista Dentistry truly sets the standard for compassionate and exceptional care. If you’re looking for a dental team that prioritizes your health and comfort, look no further.

After my son accidentally chipped away his two front teeth when he was in elementary school, we were referred to Dr. McDowell. Our initial visit was handled professionally and will much skill and expertise. We knew we were in the right hands for his lifetime of dentistry, plus my son really liked him and even looked forward to going to the dentist. Since then, I moved my other kids to his practice and every visit has been handled perfectly. Recently my son was making the switch to the crown, and he had developed an infection. Dr. McDowell responded to our inquiry during the holiday break, and booked an appointment to take care of him on a Saturday after Christmas. He needed the dreaded root canal. I was able to watch the entire procedure, and observing Dr. McDowell and his assistant work was highly impressive. Dr. McDowell is extremely knowledgable, professional, swift in going through the many intricate steps, all the while, having the most supportive and comforting bed side manner. The equipment in the office is state of the art - in an instant all x ray views were seen, and the necessary action was taken. There is definitely a range of professionalism, ability, office aesthetics and equipment out there when it comes to dentists and office. You won't find anything better than Tamal Vista Family Dentistry. I give them a 10/10 and highly recommend Dr. McDowell and his entire office. Thank you so very much Dr. McDowell!!!

These guys are great. I have loved working with Dr Scott and Heather. They are both fantastic and I would not want to go anywhere else. I have had a fair amount of teeth work done and these guys helped direct me and make sure my mouth was in a place for my teeth to last for a long time!!!

Can't recommend them enough!! Love my cleanings with Heather. She has a gentle touch for the cleanings and is nice to catch up with. Feels like family there!!!

I developed a toothache last week. After waiting 24 hours to make it was serious, I called Tamal Family Dentistry office on a Friday morning at 8 AM. I was given an appointment 3 hours later and seen by a dentist. After a thorough evaluation with X-Rays and photos taken, it was determined I had developed a fungal infection. I was given instructions. The dentist called in a prescription and called me to tell me it was ready. I later realized that my insurance wouldn’t cover that pharmacy so I called back. The dentist was willing to call the script into the second pharmacy. I am very pleased with this level of care and willingness to work with me. I highly recommend Tamal Family Dentists!

Wonderful experience throughout my visit. I thought the doctor and staff were professional and courteous. My dental care plan was well explained and well justified to me and I found it to be reasonable. Overall I felt that I could trust this practice with my dental needs and I am happy I was referred to them.

I just had my first visit and I will say what an amazing team they have at Tamal Vista Family Dentistry! Norma met me and took me for a quick tour of the space and handled my X-rays quickly. Next Dr Scott came in and spent a little bit of time getting acquainted and then did an examination and then walked me through everything. Laurie checked me about and was friendly and extremely helpful by providing me with estimates for my upcoming appointments. By the time I was home I received an email with the estimated costs and text message calendar appointments to easily add to my schedule.
