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.

Excellent dentist and staff!
Dr Podoll and her staff are extremely knowledgeable, kind, and truly care about their patients. Details about your visit are explained well. I needed a very expensive procedure and Dr. Podoll recommend an alternative procedure that was just as good at a fraction of the price. Confirmed that they listen to their patients and don’t try to price gouge them. Can’t say enough good things about everyone there!

Friendly staff that care about their patients!
I have been going to Fort Family Dental for over 25 years. Dr Podoll took over several years ago and she has been the perfect fit for this dental clinic. It is nice to have people that care about you and your dental health because they are a part of your local communities. It isn’t difficult to schedule or reschedule, they have convenient hours and reasonable pricing. From the office staff to the hygienist to the Dr, all the staff are great! They live here and want people to know they care about you and your family. The small talk about family calms a patient - and we all know dental offices aren’t always the favorite place to be. I am thankful Dr. Podoll took over the office and I didn’t need to find a different dental clinic!!

Painful tooth
I felt very confident in the suggested care approach which did not include any expensive dental work. The recommended care was spot on and cleared up the tooth pain. The staff were all very easy to talk with, and seemed to have my best interest at heart.

I have been a patient at Fort Family Dental since I was a toddler and Kim has been my hygienist for years! Kim answers all of my questions without judgement and makes me feel very comfortable. The appointments never feel rushed and they do a very thorough cleaning. I love how My mouth feels after leaving here!

After 1/2 of an old filling fell out, she replaced it and worked on it until I said it felt good. She took plenty of time to make me feel comfortable.
