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.

Outstanding Service
Been going to his practice for years. Excellent care and treatment for a complicated and unusual dental problem. His dental hygienists and assistants are very nice and competent. The facility is clean and well-furnished, and the treatment areas are up-to-date.

I question whether or not I or my kids needed the work that this doctor(s) and his team recommend. Especially for my children and it seems they are just money hungry and possibly do things that aren't really necessary. My kids have regular check ups and I decided to try them out and they charge you $5.00 for a quarter cup of listerine to rinse your mouth. They also don't like when you question them. I know for a fact that I did not have all they said I had. I would proceed with caution. Oh, and they also do estimates and over charge and then when you come back the next time it just so happens you have a credit.

As a terrible Dental patient, Dr. Wolcott is the only dentist I would use. He has been my dentist for many many years. He is gentle , calming and very good about explaining things so I was able to understand them. His office is very convenient to get to.

Dr. Wolcott and Hillandale Smiles gave me a smile I love. I have a tooth missing in the front of my mouth (never had an adult tooth there). Dr. Wolcott gave me an option I hadn't even heard of from any other dentists. He is creative, skilled, and experienced when it comes to dental solutions. In addition to the great dental work, Dr. Wolcott and his staff did a lot of back and forth with my insurance company to explain why he was recommending the treatment plan and why it was the best option.

Dr. Wolcott is caring, knowledgeable, and friendly. The office has the latest technology, it is extremely clean and the dental Hygienists and staff are always looking for your comfort, delivering the best posible care. It is easy to get to as it is just off the beltway and parking is free and convenient.

Dr Wolcott is a professional and has a naturally lovely personality. I would recommend Dr. Wolcott to everyone. He is the best, down to earth, straightforward and honest dentist I have ever met. The office is the cleanest dental office I have ever been in and all the staff is welcoming as soon as you walk through the door.

Dr Wolcott was great! Personable, professional and kind He did a great job removing my old metal fillings and replaced everything with beautiful white fillings, onlays and hopefully an implant after my extraction has healed. He saved me a lot of money by saving as much tooth and bone as possible and working with what I have, and is concerned about my dental health in the long term. He took the time to inform me and explain the procedures and put me at ease. The pain management was great!

I would not recommend this office to anyone!!! The front office is in my opinion is incompetent with regards to Insurance coverage. Be cautious of the up sales from the doctor.
