What recent reviews say

Many patients praise Dr. Cope's dental work and the team's warmth, with strong notes on emergency care and anxiety support. However, repeated complaints surface: a $50 cancellation fee even with advance notice, lengthy turnarounds on denture repairs with poor communication, and occasional roughness from Dr. Cope during routine procedures that leaves some questioning reliability.

Praised for
  • friendly and caring staff
  • Dr. Cope's skill and thoroughness
  • emergency accommodation
  • patient comfort and anxiety support
Watch-outs
  • strict cancellation policy with fees
  • inconsistent bedside manner
  • long wait times for repairs and follow-up calls
  • rough or impatient during procedures

Best for: Patients seeking skilled implant and crown work who value a warm team and can accommodate strict cancellation terms.
Think twice if: Cancellations or rescheduling: the practice enforces a $50 fee even with advance notice. Some patients report long waits on denture turnarounds and inconsistent chair-side patience.

Worth knowing

Every recent visit lands as a relief. Staff and Dr. Stackhouse explain each step, keep pain down, and make nervous patients feel safe enough to return. Reviewers call it the best dental experience they've had, switching practices specifically to stay. Named staff (Shannon, Kerri Rish) earn consistent praise for warmth alongside professional skill. The office handles urgent implant repairs the same day, crown work, and denture consultations without rush.

Walk-in and same-day appointment experience works well; staff members Jess, Victoria, and Makya earn specific praise. Dr. Sheftall is named consistently as caring and informative. The main friction points are wait times (30 minutes to two hours past appointment time) and the accessibility setup (ramp too steep, no wheelchair-accessible exam rooms), though the cozy waiting room gets regular mention. Patients travel from as far as 90 minutes away and report feeling listened to and taken seriously. Front desk coordination can feel disorganized when emergencies cause rescheduling. The tone is casual and personal: staff give customer appreciation swag bags, and return patients say they now look forward to visits.
