Dr. Shipp and his staff are THE best dental office in Nashville. I have always been happy with all of my dental work, and I have had A LOT of work done over the years. My mouth was a train wreck when I first went to see Dr. Shipp, but now I have a beautiful, healthy smile that I am so proud of. Everyone in the office is so nice and supportive too.
