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.

Very knowledgeable!!

Eric has consistently taken an appropriate approach to a difficult oral situation. Always conservative and suggesting the least invasive approach. Quality of life issues are always respected by the good doctor.

I had my wisdom teeth out this morning. I was so nervous having put this off for twenty years! He was amazing. I had no nausea and no pain. He cared enough to call and check up on me as the surgery had been difficult. The office staff was kind and professional. I recommend him without reservations!

Dr. Alltucker and staff are wonderful. I needed an extraction of two teeth. I had a choice of having anaesthesia or not. I chose not to have it. Dr. Alltucker was extremely professional and kept me informed of everything he was doing from the numbing shot which he numbed the area before the shot, to me walking out the door completely satified. I felt nothing during the extraction. He was very patient with the extractions which made it painless. No swelling. Kudos to his assistantson too. <3!

This practice puts the love of money over direct patient care. I have insurance, but they didn't tell me that wisdom teeth removal is not covered until the patient is 16, she was 15. They also led me to believe it was an emergency in order for it to not affect other teeth. When I got the denial from the Insurance company the office worker told me it was my responsibility to understand my policy even loopholes? I was totally disappointed in the out come, I paid well over $1600 up front.
