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.

Poor pre op, attitude
My daughter needed a tooth removed, asked bf, and when she arrived about general anesthesia. After waiting 40 mins, the Dr. seemed surprised, and said “ I don’t have time for this, I have a patient in the other room, you need to reschedule”. Very Condescending overall… “ things cost money honey”

The doctor went above and beyond to avoid doing a simple tooth extraction because I had refused to do a bone graft. Showed very bad and unprofessional attitude during the consultation session. I do not recommend this doctor. Stay away for your own peace of mind.

I've had several bad dental appointments with other doctors in the past but Dr. Kishter was wonderful and has completely changed my opinion about the entire dental process. He was quick, gentle, and made sure I was completely numb.

A very kind, caring, compassionate,straightforward and very knowledgeable physician as well. And he takes time to let the patient talk without interruption! He is truly "a doctor's doctor" (and I am a retired physician).

Dr. Kishter is the most modest yet capable doctor this I've ever met. He took his time diagnosing my somewhat rare (although not life-threatening) condition and entirely cured me with 45 minutes of minor surgery in the office. He sent me for an MRI to verify his diagnosis. Other doctors wanted to treat me in the hospital! As a bonus, Dr. Kishter has a wonderful bedside manner and a nice sense of humor.

Please be careful with this dental office, they will mislead you with billing. I'm very unhappy with the service, and overpriced surprise billing.

Dr. Kishter was amazing with my father, who has dementia. He was very calm with him, explained to him everything he was going to do, treated him with respect even when my dad was extremely difficult to deal with. I am so grateful for Dr. Kishter!
