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.

We had a horrible experience with this dental office. The dentist was fine; however, the people in the billing department were very rude. My husband had to change dentists after his insurance changed and this office was one of few in-network in our area. He has always gone to the dentist regularly and brushed/flushed regularly. He went to this office and was told he needed a deep clean and 3 old fillings needed to be replaced. We were skeptical that all of this work was really necessary since prior dentists had never suggested this. He was given a proposed cost of $59.61 out-of-pocket. Today he had the recommended work done and was charged $222.80 before leaving the office. When we called to ask why the difference in the proposed cost and the cost we paid we were told the initial estimate we were given must have been wrong and she wasn’t sure why. It gives us the impression that a lower proposed cost was given to us so that he would agree to having the work done. The lady who

I had crowns done by Dr Michael Covaney, front teeth. He did an excellent job. They are still holding up great after 14+ years. If I need crowns again, this is the dentist I will go to, even if he's out of my dental insurance network

Very Problematic; a disgrace. I have seen many patients walk out in anger with treatment they received here. I really did not understand till I received the same. OK so sometimes I am not quick to judge. My fault. This husband and wife team run a very dysfunctional office. You always should know this first by the staff insufficiency but I really wasnt looking for failure. I found the root of the problem was at the top. Duh it usually is. This couple is very abrasive and dysfunctional. RUN !

He was able to accurately diagnose my complex situation on the first visit. We nicknamed him “bones” because he knew what the previous dentist did wrong by an X-ray and pain description. I had no idea it was relavent.
