Okay, where do I start.. First of all I haven't been to a dentist in quite a long time due to a…read moretraumatic experience when I was a teenager. I recently had a filling come out, and so I had looked around for a "GOOD" dentist. My sister said she liked this dentist and had used her for cleanings etc. So I figured I would give her a try. OMG was I wrong. The rooms are claustrophobic, but thats just me.. Lets start off with the fact that I had just had a baby 3 months before I went in, so I was nursing. I had NO infection at all.. but she told me to take 4 antibiotics all at the same time.. I thought to myself.. she knows I am nursing.. I told her that?? She is the dr. I must trust her.. Then she prescribed me VALUME.. Um.. I am nursing? But she is the dr. so I must trust her.. After I paid and picked up my prescriptions, she then calls me at home and says, after researching this more I don't want you to take the valume because it may harm the baby.. I already called my REAL dr. and he said I would have to pump before I took the pill. and NOT to nurse the baby on it. Okay.. So then she prescribes me something else LESS harmful. Okay?? So now lets get into the dental work. - Let me just start off by saying I live over an hour away from this "dentist". So my husband has to take off work everytime we go into the office. what should have been a 2 trip visit.. turned into 6 trips!! So I go into her office the first time and she says I need a "root canal on that tooth" Okay.. SHE SAID I could have the Nitrous during the visit.. SHE LIED.. they put it on me for 5 minutes.. Charged me for the gas btw.. She said she can't work on me with the gas on???? what the hell is the point of gas if it isn't on you during the treatment?? Well, she did the root canal, USED HUGE old school needles (Most dentist don't use those anymore) ..and sent me home with a temporary tooth on. The next morning I woke up and my lip was still very numb?? Came back in a few days later (Lip still numb) asked her if that was normal and she says YES. That happens sometimes if you have a lot of anxiety?? Well she did impressions that day and sent me home. Keep in mind she NUMBED me for impressions ? .. ((WHY WE DIDN'T DO IMPRESSIONS WHEN I WAS THERE LAST TIME while I was numb??)) Also keep in mind I have to take an anxiety pill and pump every time I go in.. So I come back in 2 weeks later ( lip is still numb from the first time) and the crown DOES NOT FIT... she starts shaving my already shaved down tooth to try to make it fit.. numbed me again.. and said she had to do more impressions.. OMG. So go home with a temporary tooth again. the same day the temporary crown falls off.. So she says come in.. um.. I am an hr away. So we drive all the way back up there for some glue, then drive home agin.. 2 days later it falls off again.. OMG!!! drive back up there and she hands me the glue packets they used. WTH?? why didn't she give these to me 3 trips ago?? By now my husband has lost a lot of work and I have lost my mind.. SO to end this story. I went in for the permanent crown again.. and guess what.. lol it doesn't fit!! Surprise !! She says I am so sorry I have to numb you again.. and take more impressions.. OK look,, the needles are my worst fear.. she already more then likely permanently damaged my nerves from the huge needles she used ( says another dentist). I was completely ruined by this time.. I could not take it anymore.. I had a huge panic attack and I ran out to the car.. they begged me to come back in and be tortured, So I left with no temporary and no crown. I was DONE! I found a dentist that had amazing reviews near me. He looked at my X-rays etc. and said she didn't do a good job with the shape or finish of the root canal. THATS WHY THE TEMP KEPT FALLING OFF he said that should have been her first sign that she did a horrible job. He fixed it in one visit, he did find one small cavity and did have to numb me, however he showed me all the high tech stuff they have now days. an automatic electric needle that I DID NOT feel. He used the nitrous on me the whole time :) Unlike her office! I did have to take a pill because I was traumatized all over again with the other dentist. But really didn't need it. This office only uses white fillings and says he hasn't done a silver filling in years! That is AWESOME! He completely redid her shape of the tooth and put the temp in, came back in 2 weeks and whala!! I have a permanent crown!! He has told me that she probably damaged my nerves on the right side of my mouth permanently ( sucking out of a straw is very difficult now and annoying) they talked to my insurance company and they charged me for things that were NEVER done.. like a post that was never done?? they make more money charging your insurance co for things that are never done.. Gas that was not used for more then 5 minutes. This dentist needs to close down!. the girls up front were nice though. hope this helps someone like me!

May 5th, 2021 Grew…read moreup in Lancaster, and had been away for some time due to job relocations. I was looking for a Dentist to visit since it had been about 7 years since my last cleaning / checkup. Was recommended by my brother to visit Vicki Kestler's office that she was outstanding and her service is very professional. He couldn't have been ANY closer to the point! Made an appointment to have my x-rays done about 2-3 weeks ago. From the 1st time I arrived at the office I was treated very professionally, everything was explained to me, she and her staff discussed the results. I felt very respected, taken are of. They treat their customers with superb service. I needed to have root canals done, and her office recommended that I go see a specialist - there as well, I felt very well taken care of, professional and easy to understand the procedure by the specialist especially with cost considerations. Some of my crowns are well over 25-30 years old and have withstood the stress well. Today, I went to have 1/2 my mouth deep cleaned, on Monday the remaining half will be done. My hygienist was Hannah. What a great person she is and a great employee of Vickie Kestler. Hannah was very professional, sincere, respectful, kept patient communications, explained things, reviewed the results ... REALLY made me feel great that I chose this office. Superb professional service. The office and hygienists make you feel very easy, warm and relaxed as if you're a part of their Dental Family. This kind of service is VERY hard to find. So blessed to have been referred not only to Vicki Kestler, but also Hannah the hygienist and the other gal who took my x-rays (apologies for not remembering her name). Keep up the great service, taking care of your customers, making them feel welcome and best of all providing EXCEPTIONAL service. UPDATED: May 11th, 2021 This is just an UPDATE to my May 5th, 2021 review. Today I had my 2nd (remaining) Deep Cleaning. I had Nikki as the Dental Hygienist and would like to MIRROR my KUDOS to her just like when I reviewed Hannah. Nikki was AWESOME, VERY professional, very pleasant, and made sure everything was going fine which it was. VERY FEW Dental offices have a Team like the Vickie Kestler Team who are dedicated to their customers in making sure EVERYTHING was done correctly and patient is happy with the services rendered. THIS is my Go To Dentist for life. Very professional and caring experience and personnel. With sincere respect, Tomas Petrik

My kids pediatrician wouldn't even talk to my kids like this, they would have much more tact, care and professionalism. The dentist could have meant well by this, but the fact is, this was an inappropriate discussion for the dentist to have with my 10 year old any way you cut it. A dentist should not be talking to a 10 year old about her getting lip cancer due to dry lips. Period.
