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.

Michael Voktz
My son michael had all four of his wisdom teeth removed, two of which were impacted. Dr. Tannyhill and his team put michael and I at ease and were completely professional and caring. I was particularly impressed with the way my son came out of surgery, with absolute mindfulness and alertness. Dr Tannyhill has the perfect technique when sedating his patients. Since his surgery yesterday, Michael has had zero pain and minimal swelling. This gives a mother much resolve and the ability to fly home knowing that everything went well and your son will heal perfectly. A big enormous thank you to Dr Tannyhill and his amazing team at Mass General. Marijane Voltz

Primary dentist sent me over for my daughters molars to be removed. Went for a "consultation" and now have bills coming in for ZERO services rendered. They are charging a $50 fee and billing my insurance company. Make sure before you walk in the door you know what they will be charging. Single mom, two kids, do not have an extra $50 sitting around for 2 minutes with a Dr. Office staff is rude and stating that this was all disclosed. Not the case.

Went to Dr Tannyhill fall of 2011 to have an impacted tooth evaluated. Was experiencing pain in a tooth that previously had a apicoectomy (6 years prior). The tooth had to be extracted. I was asked to pay for procedure before it was performed though I had insurance. I informed Dr Tannyhill that my lower jaw wouldn't get numb unless I had a gow gates injection. He gave me 7 injections and the whole side of my face & head was numb but when he pulled the tooth, I felt the entire thing. Very bad!
