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.

Terrifying Visit
I went to have very small fillings around the gum line, but ended up with 2 cracked molars that needed to be filled and crowned elsewhere!I was put in a dark room and my whole mouth was numbed with several shots for at least an hour. I noticed on the small table next to my chair, there were tools that seemed odd for simple fillings. At least one of them look like a small hammer. When he came in he was acting odd, and there was no assistant. The room was completely dark, even the blinds were closed, except for the light shining in my mouth. I could hear and feel pounding in my mouth. When he was finished, he brought the assistant in and told her to go get some ibuprofen for me. I said I didn’t need any and didn’t want to take it because I have to have food in my stomach when I take it and he insisted. So I went ahead and took four. I couldn’t understand what had just happened and why? I had always been a good patient, never complained, and highly recommended him before this happened.

Very satisfied with my experience.
I was having pain in a tooth on the bottom right side when I would bite on something hard like nuts or a hard crust on bread, but it was getting so bad that even chewing on something soft was starting to hurt. Dr. Wheat is very understanding and listens to what you have to say.

Dr. Wheat is a wonderful dentist. My family has been in his care for the last 10 years and we have always had a positive experience. It is always nice when you find a dentist who provides fantastic dental care, and is also a wonderful person as well. He is kind, upbeat, and always brings his sense of humor to work with him which makes the visit so much more enjoyable. I would highly recommend him for all of your family's dental needs.

Dr. Wheat is the BEST. I love him & Naren too.He has been my dentist over 10 + years. Wouldn't have anyone else. The phone service is horrible & trying to reach someone afterwards is even more horrible. This is the reason that I hate to visit. You really have to check your billing statement prior to leaving. I was charged for fluoride which was never discussed or used on me but, Tabitha charged me & it was difficult reaching her for correction.

I went in for a scheduled implant surgery however there was an issue with a "nerve" and Dr Wheat told my daughter that I needed an MRI and someone would call me tomorrow(Wed). Since I was half out of it due to the medication, I was confused about what happened. Wed., no one called me so I called the office and the person answered and took a message. Another lady called back at 5pm but said she couldn't help and would have Dr Wheat's assistant call me Thursday. Really? My appointment was on Tues.

Over more than 17 years of receiving dental care from Dr. Wheat and his highly professional team, it has been consistently excellent. The service is always personal and friendly, even when it was necessary to have an alternate care provider. I have no intention of ever switching dentists.

I went to Dr. Wheat for an implant consultation. It lasted upwards of 5 minutes. I was assured that I was a good candidate. I scheduled to get the procedure done and was also assured by the business department that my insurance covered a large part of the expense. After repeated assurances I paid my portion in three LARGE payments. After I was too far into the process, the business department informed me that there was bad news... my insurance coverage came up short. Don't do any business here!
