On my way to my scheduled appointment I was caught behind an accident in Charlevoix so as a courtesy to the dentist I called to let them know that I may be up to 2 minutes late. I was placed on hold for a second and another female took the call and told me that my appointment had been canceled because she could not confirm my appointment that I had made a year earlier. I told her that I was close to their office and I would prove to her that I had not received a message from her. She was insisting she had but no record of her call could be found. Fifteen minutes early I arrived. I explained that regardless of her inability to reach me, should make no difference as I made an appointment and I was here for that appointment. I explained that them overbooking should not make me accountable for all the people that shirked their appointments. That's not my style, if anything I'm overly curious. I don't often complain on the media but gasoline has gotten expensive as we all know. I sat and waited for a spot to open and shifted my schedule around to accommodate them, while they whispered to one another in regards to the part they played. Shame on all of you for the way I have been treated and your lack of professionalism. Linda

Upon landing I immediately tried to find a dentist to help me but being July the first four I contacted were on vacation! Through a recommendation I called Dr. Whitcomb's office and what a blessing that was. His staff is absolutely wonderful and gave me an appointment right away. They were very sympathetic to my dilemma and so kind when I arrived at the office. Dr. Whitcomb was outstanding to say the least and did a fantastic job repairing my tooth. I actually had another situation the next month with another tooth and both Dr. Whitcomb and his staff graciously took care of me right away. I am deeply grateful to all of them and plan to go back to Dr. Whitcomb this summer when I return to Petoskey for some more consultation on further treatments. They are the BEST!!!

I have been to Dr. Larson/Parkview for checkups, cleanings, fillings, bite guards, etc. and I can say she is a great dentist in all regards. Her team is also very competent, considerate and caring in all situations. And her costs are fair and the front desk always makes sure I get the best price based on my insurance. As someone who appreciates excellence and value in the doctors they use, I can say Dr. Larson is an excellent dentist and her team delivers great value every time I visit. I would not hesitate to use Parkview if you are looking for a similar experience.

You can take off work and drive an hour or two only to find that you must pay out of pocket when the office can easily run this stuff in advance. You may show up and find out you have to pay cash which is a significant advantage to his practice at your expense. He may have quality care but his office doesn't do much to avoid unnecessary out of pocket expenses that are avoidable. They also can't handle being called out for this practice because they know it is reprehensible. All of this is avoidable. I made an appointment for my elderly mother who was in need of dental care. She could not get into local providers so we made an appointment with Dr. Forsmark's office which is quite a distance from her home. I offered to provide the insurance information through UPHP and Delta but the office said they did not need it now. Mom shows up to the appointment and finds out she is not covered at Dr. Forsmark's office and they never tried to run coverage prior to her showing up. I am sure at this point you can understand the frustration. Dr. Forsmark's office was not sympathetic in any way and were in shock that I would call them out for the practice.

She refused to shred it, she chose to tear the sheet in half leaving my identity exposed... After I explained my concerns she then asked if I would like to shred it together...as if I'm a child.
