Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

He milked my mom out of a lot of money over the years. He even started to do a root canal before obtaining her consent for this procedure to be done!! Then he left the root canal 1/2 done after she told him she did not want a root canal completed. Mom has had 3 separate rounds of antibiotics so far. I am checking into another dentist, hopefully they maybe able to fix the damage that was completed.

awful. Went in for much needed check up & knew I needed work done. Explained I had tooth missing but wanted implant there. He went on to attempt to convince me a bridge would be better & LESS costly. I stuck with wanting an implant (which he does not do) Lo & behold, the price list was given to me, and there was the cost of the bridge----more costly than the implant estimate I had already received. So, obviously felt he was out for the $, and certainly had no trust in him at that point.
