"Apex is not only the Best Place to Live, it also has the Best Dental Services provided by Dr. Dustin Prusik and staff at the Olive Chapel Family Dentistry. I needed surgery on my teeth and Dr. Prusik provided painless and enjoyable appointment. After brewing a free cup of coffee from the selection of several international coffees I laid back in the comfortable dentist chair and watched a great movie on Netflix as Dr. Prusik resolved my dental issues. It was the most enjoyable dental appointment I have experienced. I recommend Dr. Prusik and the complete staff at the Olive Chapel Family dentistry for anyone or family in the Apex and surrounding areas." -Richard C.
