My overall experience at the AOMS office in Norton, Ohio was absolutely fantastic! Dr. McDonnell, and the entire staff did a great job! I would recommend this office to everyone! I got three teeth pulled, and I didn’t feel any pain at all. Dr. McDonnell , and nurses were so comforting, caring, gentle, and so friendly. The AOMS Norton, Ohio office really takes very good care of their patients. They’re the best! Such a wonderful team! Thumbs up, and a round of applause to all of them in the Norton, Ohio office! Fantastic!
