What recent reviews say

Reviewers consistently praise the dentists and hygienists for taking time to explain work, listening to concerns, and creating a calm environment. Staff like Casey and Dr. Nichols earn particular mention for their gentleness with anxious patients.

A minority report billing surprises and insurance confusion, plus one complaint about staff tone. The practice runs smoothly for most but occasionally fumbles communication before procedures and about coverage details.

Patients describe a practice where staff remember them by name and genuinely care about their experience. Many have been returning for 15 or more years, citing Dr. Smith's gentle touch, lack of rushed appointments, and a team that takes time to explain care options and answer questions thoroughly. The office delivers prompt appointments with no waiting, clean facilities with comfortable chairs, and hygienists like Heather who earn specific praise for their skill. Several reviewers say they now look forward to dental visits instead of dreading them, and families across generations trust the practice for their dental health.

Family Dental Health of Forest Acres

Most patients praise the warm, unhurried atmosphere and dental skill here, naming Dr. Pincelli and Dr. Hicklin specifically. One patient had a difficult crown experience where healthy teeth were adjusted twice before the crown itself, leading to ongoing bite and jaw pain that required a second opinion to resolve. The office serves veterans well and maintains a reputation for gentle care and professionalism. Review evidence for the specific implant categories is limited, though one extraction and oral surgery visit was noted positively.
