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.

The best, most caring dr. I have bad teeth,he never made me feel self conscious about how they looked. He treats you like you are important and does excellent work. The entire staff are awesome.

AWESOME DR!
I have used Dr Shea for the past 15 yrs. Recently I had MAJOR work done by him and he listened to me and he did everything he could to make it as painless a procedure as he could. Knowing I was a hard stick for an IV he did it HIMSELF! Even though it still took multiple sticks to get it going he listened to me when I showed him a vein and he was able to get it going. Also knowing that I've had almost 80 previous surgeries he knew that getting me under anesthesia and staying under was a concern. It went wonderfully! If you want a Dr who doesn't rush you, answers ALL your questions and is genuinely concerned about how the surgery went then look no farther!

Dr. Shay and the staff are wonderful. I've never received such a professional yet kind treatment before. Dr. Shay and the staff were very concerned with my comfort. The sedation I received that day eased my stress making the procedure comfortable. The office locations worked well with my schedule. I highly recommend Dr. Shay for a superb dental experience.

Dr. Shea is absolutely wonderful. He preformed a dental extraction as well as a dental implant on my front tooth. He made a it a good experience. I couldn't have dreamed of a better experience. He and his staff were so nice and friendly. The good Dr even called me later to check on me. I highly suggest him!
