I've been to dentists from coast to coast and in between and Dr. Mumford and his team are by far…read morethe best. From beginning to end, the experience is good. Making appointments is super easy--the front office people are kind both in phone and in person. They don't over book the hygienists which means that I rarely wait ten minutes to be seen and I don't feel rushed through my cleaning. I've visited several of the hygienists on Dr. Mumford's team for cleanings. Danielle is my usual and she is awesome. She is actually fun to spend an hour of my day with! She is very gentle and as good at talking with me about ways I can improve my daily dental hygiene as she is chatting about daily life. I have also visited Monica, Julie, and Laurie who are all very gentle. I can genuinely say I enjoy coming to the dentist for appointments, because it's relaxing! Dr. Mumford will always talk with me about spots that could be prone to cavities and teaches me how to clean so that I can stop any decay that could happen. He presents options when I do have a problem so I can decide what is best financially for me and also for my dental health. I recently had a chip in a molar and Dr. Mumford was really good at being as minimally invasive as possible. We tried just filling the chip, but then decided to make everything more stable after I ate something chewy and the composite came out. He redid my current filling (which was really poorly shaped from a previous dentist) and connected it to the filled chip. He made my tooth look like a tooth instead of a flat ice skating rink! He is very talented, patient, and detail oriented. Dory assisted and knew what he needed and when: she is clearly very experienced and talented with what she does. Babette is excellent with the administrative side of Dr. Mumford's practice. She is super nice and always helps me understand insurance billing, my balance, etc., without any discomfort. She is always happy and seems to love doing her job. While chatting one visit, I asked Dr. Mumford what he likes best about being a dentist, and he told me he loves helping people make changes in their dental health and routines that help improve their quality of life. He said he loves helping people improve their confidence and happiness because of how their teeth look an feel. Honestly, what could be better than a health provider who is not only excellently talented, but also truly cares about his patients?

The dentist was polite, friendly, conservative and confident in his diagnosis. We were disappointed in his periodontist referrals. An employee came up to me in the waiting room to do x rays before I had seen the dentist for him to make a recommendation for x rays and when I had already sent them x rays. The office is large and impersonal. You have to go through the office manager to ask questions to the dentist and don't know if emails go directly to him. When I first called to make an appointment, I was told a dental assistant would do the exam not the dentist. I found that troubling. There is free outdoor parking

It is a fact that this office was totally disrespectful and disorganized at the time when services…read morewere supposed to be rendered. They would irresponsibly and wrongfully process paperwork and cashed a check that was meant to be sent to me since they had been 100% paid in full but doulble-dipped anyway. It is a fact that this "holistic" Dentist [in name only] removed two perfectly good fillings that did not need to be removed and left my bite in a cross-bite for not only months but for four years. The cross bite was addressed in person with Dr. May and he brushed it off as no big deal but it was a big deal because it was damaging other teeth and fillings and causing chipping in front teeth. It was a "Class III" malocclusion that was left with no plans to help the occlusion at all. This is a very dangerous malocclusion and the excellent Dentists I consulted after the four years of putting up with nothing being done to help me, they were shocked and could not understand that level of incompetence by any Dentist. Now he wants to throw the psychological element around as though the Victim is wrong and did not experience, for four trusting years, anything wrong with the lack of proper care. The fact that many bad dentists happen to advertise heavily as "holistic" is another sad fact. There are several on the East Coast. There are MANY victims out there who have been abused and injured by people who happen to advertise as "holistic." I know more than a handful of people who have been to several holistic Dentists and had similar experiences. With this said, there are many bad Dentists in general. It is not regulated and the level of training and ethical behavior is highly variable. With that said, there are also some very caring ones who are at least willing to refer the patient if something is over their heads. But if you look at the complaints of the bad and incompetent workmanship of many Dentists who advertise as "IAOMT" or Holistic, you will see a very horrifying trend. Abuse by wrongful treatment and misdiagnoses and then marginalization of innocent patients is very real and not some psychological fantasy. I am sorry that I ever trusted you for four years. You should take a long look at how many years it took me to finally write a public complaint. I tried my best to give you the benefit of the doubt, but when I finally gave up on your lack of care and sought other professional opinions, my dangerous occlusion was of big concern to the Dentists who specialize in occlusion and actually care about the damage to the other teeth that I had sustained from your misdiagnoses and your maltreatment.
