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.

Horrible service
The doctor is all in it for the money and doesn't treat patients with honesty. Would never recommend them.

Dr. Makela and his entire staff are always upbeat and welcoming. I have been a patient for several years and have had a variety dental procedures done. I am always impressed with the professionalism and level of expertise exhibited. Most recently I had a permanent bridge placed replacing some very crooked lower teeth. The results are impressive. I am 68 years old and having this procedure done has been a boost to my spirit. Thank you Dr. Makela and staff!

Ladies at the dentist office are very nice. However Dentist is very rude and pushy. He won't let u fix the teeth u can afford until u fix the teeth that cost hundreds of dollars. He will not give u an option to just have a tooth pulled and the girls will tell u they don't pull them. My young child needed some work done and they would not allow a parent to go back with her while he worked on her teeth. She is a minor. This is unacceptable!!!
