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.
Bob was the best Dentist I've ever had. I liked him so much, I continued to go to him for 15 years AFTER I've moved to Louisville, Ky.!

Wonderful dentist & office staff! I came here for my Peace Corps x-rays/exam and they were friendly, efficient, and knowledgable. Dr. Elam was fantastic. They were able to get me in within a week for a 7am appointment, so I was able to go before work. Couldn't have asked for a better experience.

He's the best! I so appreciate his always putting the patient first with a skilled, compassionate, honest, and conservative approach. I went in for a cleaning and he instantly took care of some other issues! After many years under his care, I continue to be grateful for him in many ways and wouldn't want anyone else!!!

I would not refer Dr. Elam to any family or friends, if you're considering him as your dentist, make sure your insurance covers the services he offers. I paid $400 out-of-pocket for an x-ray that my new dentist provided for FREE!!!
