    I'm a summer resident in Glen Arbor and I had the unfortunate experience of having one of my front…read moreveneers pop off on the 4th of July! I was panic stricken because I didn't have a local dentist that would try and squeeze me in to reattach it. Even worse, I was leaving in a few days for my daughter's graduation in London!! I started frantically calling dentists I found on the internet. No one was able/willing to fit me in even after I explained what a terrible predicament I was in. When I finally called Green Bay Dental I knew that I'd hit the jackpot. The receptionist was so warm and friendly and immediately put me on hold to work the schedule around to fit me in. The dentist, Dr. Pfefferle, was amazing. She took the time to talk to me and we had quite a few laughs. She was so thorough and a complete perfectionist with her work. I couldn't believe how much time she took with me even though I had never been to her practice and was just an emergency patient that walked in. I loved everyone that worked there and I honestly wished she could me my dentist near my home in Chicago...along with her entire staff. I can't say enough good things about Cherry Bay Dental! I give my experience there a huge thumbs up!! Highly recommend.

    Just moved to the area and needed to get those pearly whites cleaned up and checked out. My…read morecolleague suggested that I check this place out, and I'm sure glad that I did! They are VERY thorough, friendly, and do an excellent job. Heather, DDS, is super friendly and takes the time to get to know you. The receptionist, Julie, is SUPER good at keeping in touch and getting all the paperwork and insurance stuffs squared away. The x-ray and cleaning folks were great and careful not to inflict too much pain. :) This is a great place to call your home for your mouth care. Highly recommend.

    This whole experience was bad, bordering on creepy…read more First, I called TWICE to verify not only that they accept our dental insurance, but also that they accept the rate at which the dental insurance pays. (Though it's not ethical, it IS legal for companies--because doctors and dentists are still companies--to charge MORE for their services than what is usual and customary for an insurance company to pay.) The woman I spoke to over the phone insisted they did. So, I made appointments for my two young daughters and went for it. We are new in town and have needed to get the kids to the dentist! The one star I am giving is for the hygienists, who was as sweet as can be and very kind. Then Dr. Feeney came in. His behavior was a bit bizarre from the get go. Babbling incessantly and trying to make friends in a weird way from the moment we came into the room. (What kind of a dentist gives kids CANDY before he looks at their teeth??!). Then, as he was trying to make my children comfortable he kept TOUCHING them. Seriously, don't tickle my kids. It is just not okay. No adult should ever touch a child without their direct consent, so the tickling really creeped me out. Then, when I tried to ask the Dr. a few questions about my kids' teeth, his response was both rude and condescending. When he began to sense that I was growing quite annoyed, he continued to babble on incessantly, for 10 minutes, about how I don't know him yet and that everyone likes him and that I just need to get to know him and then I will like him. Even this was condescending. And THEN when I went to check out, I was told we owed nearly $300 for this visit. I know my insurance, I know what it covers, and this visit should have been $100 MAX for both kids. Except that it turned out that they had done an extraordinary amount of unnecessary x-rays, without my consent. That is, instead of the normal series of 4 bite wings that are covered by my insurance, they preformed a series of panoramic x-rays, before even examining my children's teeth to see if there was a problem to look more deeply at. (I get that sometimes this might be necessary. But it is grossly unethical to preform something like this without reason and especially without first obtaining the paying guardian's consent!) I was livid. I cannot believe this guy has not been written up before for his unethical practices. Plus, well, given the Dr.'s demeanor ( DON'T TICKLE MY CHILDREN!!), I would never be comfortable leaving him alone in a room alone with a child. I think it's time for Dr. Feeney to retire.

    My young adult daughter and I left this practice after a few visits as he made us very…read moreuncomfortable by touching us. He always touched our legs like a poke. He also suggested I needed crowns on all my teeth. Never before or since has a dentist suggested that. He also had us pay for mouth guards for my daughter which even after he worked on them did not fit her and were too uncomfortable and she could not use them ever. Expensive waste of money.

    I have been with Dr. Beers and Kirstin (my hygienist) almost from the start of his practice (about…read more2010). I had had some adult orthodontia done in California that was very misguided and really damaged my bite and teeth, having to then be redone. Dr. Beers fresh out of dental school was willing to take on the challenge and help me save my teeth from all they had been through. He has given me wonderful care ever since including multiple crowns and the prep work for one implant done by oral surgeon Chris Stegman here in TC (also wonderful!). Dr. Beers does have a little son born with cerebral palsy whose care was massively complicated by the Covid epidemic . If anyone had problems with scheduling with him during that time or even more recently I'm sure it was because of that, not because he didn't care enough about his patients. I would highly recommend this practice to anyone. Trisha P. Williamsburg, MI 5 star rating

    The saga continues with beers Dentistry. Started at this practice approximately 10 years ago Dr…read moreChad beers was my dentist . He quickly started growing his practice to make more money . He pawned me off to Dr Stillwell . 2 years ago I broke a tooth and Dr Stillwell made three attempts and finally got a crown positioned okay in my mouth . A month ago the crown fell off . I called beers Dentistry only to be turned away because Dr Stillwell is no longer there and beers Dentistry will not back up the work that was done within his office . Dr Beers is only about the money he really doesn't care about his patients . Suttons Bay Dental Center is helping me out with my problem Dr Lee is a wonderful person who has compassion for her patients.
