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.

AVOID unless you are rich!!!
This practice has changed! I trusted this man for years. Went to have a tooth extracted, was told the root is in my sinus cavity. Referred me to a surgeon who only accepts cash. I just had it pulled by a REAL dentist!!!!John's ratings have went down.....sad! This was a great dental practice. AVOID AT ALL COST....because it will cost A LOT! The older woman at the front desk? I would suggest her attitude be adjusted or let go, one or the other.

Keep driving
Rude front office with sense of coldness. The person who answers your phone sets the tone and image of your practice. This is telling. Keep driving by. If this is what you get upfront this is what you get in back. Not impressed.

THIS AMOUNT EXCEEDS THE MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE AMOUNT FOR THIS SERVICE. Charges and Insurance Payments Breakdown of Member Responsibility 2 YOUR DENTAL CONTRACT LIMITS THE ALLOWANCE ON XRAYS TAKEN ON THE SAME DATE OF SERVICE, TO THAT OF A FULL MOUTH SERIES. PAYMENT ON THIS LINE WAS REDUCED TO NOT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM ALLOWANCE. 3 SERVICE NOT COVERED

2-12-20 The review is for Danielle and Dr. Balon. I could not find Danielle's review site. Danielle is the kindest and most professional chair side assistant anyone could have. She is very gentle and very skilled. Dr. Balon has saved my life with the strong confidence he projects. I love them both.

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Balon. He has made my trash can of a mouth into a show stopping smile. I actually get compliments on my teeth now! That's something I would have never imagined before. He is professional, nice, and keeps you informed about everything involved in your dental procedure. He is great with kids and adult alike. His staff is also very friendly and the office and patient rooms are always nice and clean.

Ive had bad teeth for a long time due to no dental insurance so i was nervous about going after hearing of dentists badgering people about it. Dr Balon has and his staff have done nothing but wonders for me. All procedures so far from periodontal scaling to tooth extractions have been painless and fast. Dr balon and his hygenist Kayla are very knowledgeable with everything and explain in great detail about the procedures and treatment plans for you. I'll be seeing him until he retires.

I've been a patient of Dr. Balon's for almost two years. Since day one he has been the most personable, professional, and caring dentist I've ever known. His entire staff is likewise very helpful, friendly, and professional. I had a lot of major dental work i needed to have done and Dr. Balon earned my trust and respect immediately. I would (and have) definitely recommend Dr. Balon to my friends and family!

Growing pains. This used to be a great office but their greed has got the best of them. They are trying to see too many patients leaving them difficult to get an appointment, being hasty and sloppy, and making mistakes. Then once they make mistakes their post visit communication is awful. Dr Balon is a good dentist but has a long way to go properly managing his dental practice.

Dr. Balon and Tiffany are great and gentle with kids. They both helped us in a dental emergency on my child. They offered helpful advice and the office staff even helped to make sure that my procedure was in network and covered when I was to see a specialist. His team is awesome. Thanks and keep up the great work.
