i have seen Dr Turko twice before, 2024 & 2025, regarding a severe dog bite, left hand. I called to…read moremake an appointment for another matter (right index finger ganglion). I was informed to send a referral from my GP. Done. Called again for an appointment; diverted to scheduling. I could only leave a message for someone from scheduling (Robin) to call me back; left my number. Called back 4 hours later after no call back to check on setting the appointment. I was then told scheduling had 3 to 5 working days to call me back -- their normal procedure. In all my years of phoning medical facilities -- hospitals, dentists, clinics, anything -- this was a first; 3 to 5 work days just to be able to set up an appointment date. Ludicrous.

I've now had two procedures with Dr. Turko and his team at Plastic and Hand. Despite a scheduling…read moremiscommunication early on with this latest procedure, the surgical team itself does a wonderful job. Things are run smoothly post surgery as well (e.g. follow up communication). Dr. Turko has a calm and professional manner about him and is a joy to work with. The front desk staff are also welcoming and helpful. In the Greater Portland area, this would be the practice I recommend for any cosmetic surgical procedures.

My mother-in-law went and spent $2400 on a service called juvederm. She has wrinkles under her eyes…read moreand around her mouth. She is a server at a local restaurant and wanted to look and feel better as she had to interact with people on daily basis... it was told to her that she would only need one-time fillers and all of her wrinkles would be soften up, and would even out.. she took their word, went and got it done. Under her eyes looks a little better but all the wrinkles around her mouth are still there.. they told her the fillers would work for a year to two years. They didn't work for a day... she made multiple appointments with them & said shes unsatisfied. They showed us the before pictures, and I don't see a difference.. And they said sorry you can't have any money back. And asked us to leave the office... very unprofessional company.

Had a facial a couple months ago and was pleasantly surprised buy the price and service. Nice…read moreclean and comfortable procedure room. Staff seemed professional, knowledgeable and pleasent. I'll be going back as soon as I can find the time.

After being a patient of this dental office for 20+ years, I had an outstanding $25 bill that they…read moresent to collections and canceled my upcoming appointment. I'm really disappointed, and saddened that this office went from a wonderful family vibe to the feeling of a corporation that doesn't care about its patients getting the care they need, only their profit/bottom line. What a shame.

I hate to give a bad review for the practice because the hygienist that I had for the short time I…read morewas there was incredible. Unfortunately, it appears that a different dentist has taken over the practice recently, and his philosophy on dentistry is that, pain is an integral part of dental work and can't be avoided. At my most recent cleaning, they found a small cavity, but because of the previous extensive filling (done by a different dentist), Dr. Oh decided it was time for a crown. They got all the materials together to get an imprint made for both the temporary and the permanent crown. Dr. Oh then approached me with the hypodermic and I was thinking, "What? No topical to numb the injection site?". No way! He then proceeded to inject the novocain at a rate that produced excruciating pain from the hydraulic pressure. I sat right up in the chair and said, "This is not painless dentistry!" He just chuckled, and said, "There's going to be some discomfort. It can't be avoided with a block." Sorry doctor, but I've had two dentists whose philosophies were that there is no reason for anybody to experience pain during a dental procedure, and if you were experiencing any pain, it was only because the dentist didn't want to take the time to allow the novocain to numb the tissue as it's being injected. The only experience I've had that was worse than this experience was when another dentist I had started drilling before the novocain took effect, and when I reacted, he said, "That doesn't hurt!" That was my first and last visit to him as well. So, even though my hygienist has been incredible, until another dentist takes over Joy Dental, I won't be back to Dr. Oh's little shop of horrors.
