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.

Need the truth about your teeth then call Dr. Joh – Aug 03, 2023

I went to see Dr. Poovey to have a cavity filled this summer. Dr. Poovey performed my filling with a laser machine he recently started using. This method of performing a filling does not require a nerve block because there is “absolutely no pain, it only a cold feeling” I was told many times. However, the procedure is very painful and while filling a cavity on my front tooth, there was a point where I felt an incredibly sharp pain. Immediately after I left the procedure, my tooth was painful,

I have had extensive dental work done by Dr. Poovey and all I can say is he was able to make it as pleasurable and painless as it could possibly be. I couldn't ask for anything more than that.

I've seen Poovey for over 10 years now and will continue to do so. As a working man I appreciate his honesty. Even when I didn't have the money, he let me make payments because his 1st concern was my well being!

Dr. Poovey and his hygienist Karen diagnosed a "cracked" tooth (although he couldn't show it to me on the x-ray but was only visible by them). He recommended a crown immediately. I told him I was going to think about it. 6 months later it was "too late" and needed it extracted and an implant put in. After 2 botched appointments to discuss a treatment plan, I got a 2nd opinion and the other dentist was bewildered why I was told I had a cracked tooth. Four years later and I still have my tooth.
