I've been going to Dr. Chris since maybe 2007 or so and have always had a good experience. In the…read morepast they sometimes hired other dentists who weren't as good, but has mostly been Dr. Chris (and on rare occassion his dad who still chips in now and then) for the past decade. Some of the lower reviews are about front of the office staff, which I vaguely recall being a bit gruff, 10+ years ago but everyone the past few years have been lovely. I have had two root canals (hey I'm 40 such is life) and one was done excellently by Dr. Chris during 2020 in COVID. He did a great job relieving the pain I had been in for a few months. Anyway, highly recommend this practice 10 out of 10 for the last decade or so.

My family and I have been coming to this dental office for over 7 years, and the consistency of…read morecare has been outstanding. There was a time when I didn't have dental insurance and needed a crown replaced--Dr. Chris went above and beyond to help me, offering a fair and reasonable solution without compromising quality. His kindness, honesty, and steady professionalism truly set him apart. As someone who gets a little anxious in the dental chair, I can honestly say Dr. Chris has earned my full trust. He's gentle, patient, and takes the time to explain everything in a way that puts you at ease. I've recommended this office to friends and family, and I'll continue to do so for years to come. It's rare to find a dentist who's not only skilled but genuinely cares--this office checks every box!

And while the work I had done by Dr Isaacs looks great and, he provided an explanation for what he thought was best, I waited 45 minutes in the chair for him without an apology or introduction. He did not address me as a patient, having discussions with staff during my dental work. He then 'gave me a break'? I didn't ask for so, I was quite late for work.

He went and accused me of going there for a second opinion which he rudely said he doesn't do. I repeated to him that he needs to read the referral letter as it clearly says it's for his opinion to evaluate me. He insisted that it said that it said to pull as that was exactly what it says. Then he went onto tell me his procedure which he explained that he does bone graft which I explained that I wasn't interested in bone graft and he said that bone graft is required for every implant. I i formed him that I was under the impression that a 3d scanner was required to evaluate the bone and he gave a snappy response saying what kinda dentist did I go to as if I went to a crappie dentist and that they must of put bone graft and just didn't tell me. In all honesty I think it's low class to try and bad mouth other establishments as if your own establishment is not top shelf as well, this guy gives the impression as a fast talking salesman rather then an oral surgeon trying to make 1600 dollars on bone grafting. Sitting on top of a crappie restaurant has gotten to this Oral surgeons head that he needs to be opinionated on other establishments and outright lie to make a sale. It is well documented in the implant industry that it's 50/50 for the need for bone grafting. Im not to keen to having some deceased person bone in my mouth

The relentless pursuit to take an unnecessary x-ray was unreal to me... I said No too many times…read moreto let it slide. This is no way to treat people. The bottom line is that it was unnecessary, even according to The AMERICAN DENTAL ASSOCIATION. Look it up, and you'll see that an adult with good oral health and low risk of dental problems should have x-rays taken 24 to 36 months. Realize even though it probably won't give you cancer... why the extra risk... I just told the people there I Just had them taken 4 months ago, and they were fine... Also, they are supposed to do an oral exam first to access if an x-ray is even needed. they skipped this step, and I believe that breaks the ethical guidelines; which obviously are to use the least possible amount of x-ray exposure necessary. But they didn't even mention till I was about to leave, that I can have my x-ray sent over from a few months ago; as if it was a final ditch option. I believe the x-ray on file was from within a 3-year period but they should have done their homework before calling me in for a teeth cleaning and then telling me they can't clean my teeth without an X-ray. SMH. And they really did try everything to pressure me into the Xray. At one point 3 people are there telling me all sorts of feer bait (nonrealistic things to say to someone who has had "no cavities ever") to make me think it was a good idea. And nothing they said made sense because I kept telling her I just had it done not long ago (which i did), so I'm not scared. Too many people don't make good calls and walk in like sheep, and they got used to nobody knowing about how they are supposed to do their job. Don't be stupid, don't take xrays you don't need. But also don't skip it when you do need it. These people gotta quit being greedy. What really got me was how at the beginning of the conversation I was allowed to sign a waiver to not get x rays but suddenly, with the form in the office lady's hand; she says the doctor refuses to see me unless I take X-rays. They basically thought I was soft or possibly already processed paperwork. Something felt like I was being targeted like "Watch me work the Xray on him" attitude. I even said to them it feels like its only about the money.

The friendly demeanor of the dentist and staff does not make up for the serious and unacceptable…read moreproblems I experienced at this office. I was overcharged, and my insurance was submitted claims for procedures that were never performed, which raises serious ethical and billing concerns. After a crown was placed in March 2025, my regular dentist later found excess cement left directly on my gum line--a basic and preventable error. My dentist was extremely disturbed by this and stated it could have caused damage to my gums. Leaving cement behind reflects a clear lack of attention to standard dental care and patient safety. To make matters worse, the crown fell off while I was eating (and unfortunately swallowed) yet I was told I would need to pay out of pocket for a completely new crown, despite the original being placed only months earlier. Refusing to stand behind recent work while shifting the financial burden onto the patient is unprofessional and unacceptable. Between the billing irregularities, substandard workmanship, and lack of accountability, I strongly advise others to avoid this office altogether. If you do choose to go here, verify every charge, closely monitor what is submitted to your insurance, and be prepared to seek corrective care elsewhere.
