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.

I have been a patient since she opened. She takes time to explain what is needed and why. Since my husband is a retired dentist from USNDC, we are particular about who is a dentist.

Our family had a marvelous, "knock-it-out-of-the-park" dentist for decades and when he retired, we didn't think we could find someone to fill his shoes. Dr Esther Machen has done this and taken it up a notch :). She's smart as a whip and extremely capable. Her kindness and empathy goes an awfully long way with us. Our son was involved in a terrible mishap while at a college baseball clinic, he took a line drive right in the mouth. His jaw was broken along with several of his teeth in addi

Dr. Machen is always professional, makes you feel at ease, and is very thorough in her examinations. If there are any problems found, she gives options and helps you plan the best care for your teeth moving forward. I will continue to go and recommend her to all of my friends and family.

If you are looking for the perfect dentist, look no further. Dr. Machen and her staff are amazing! I have been to several other dentists in this area, including pediatric dentists and Dr. Machen tops them all for total family dental care. My kids ages 3 - 14 love her. Not only is she an excellent dentist, but the kindness and compassion she shows toward you and your family is unlike any in this area. She truly cares about you as an individual. She thoroughly explains all options to you base

After my lifelong Dentist retired, I carefully researched and chose Dr. Machen's office. Her team is friendly, professional and extremely helpful, from the front office staff to the dental hygienist. Dr. Machen is gentle, knowledgeable, caring and patiently explains procedures and answers questions. I highly recommend Dr. Machen and her staff to all my friends.

She is very knowledgeable, very comprehensive. They do a very thorough examination, cleaning, and consultation on your first time....4 hours worth over 300.00 but with a referral it is was 89.00. That right there was wonderful. But then Dr. Machen takes the time, not rushing it, to go over very minutely the options for you. She goes into different avenues so that you may choose what and how you would like your work done....namely, bridges or implants in my case. The Staff is just as great!
