It was easy to schedule an appointment to see the dentist as a new patient. The staff and the…read moredoctor were friendly and the office is comfortable. It doesn't even have that awful dentist office smell! I was pleased with the way Dr. Whipple explained my dental issues and what the appropriate treatment would be. Be aware that they don't perform root canals in office, but refer you to an endodontist, which can be good or bad. For me, it's inconvenient to have to go to another office (hence the four star rating), but there's certainly nothing wrong with having a specialist do the procedure. I plan to have my routine care at Seven Valley Dental from now on.

All, I was in trouble on July 15th 2019, and needed a…read moredentist, right away. I had nowhere to turn, at the time. My dentist, of a dozen years, did not respond to my pleas for help. I couldn't understand, as my wife and I had been seeing this dentist, in Ithaca, for many years! I was in terrible pain, for days. I contacted Dr. Whipple's office based, on his existing rating. After describing what my issue was, the staff at Seven Valley Dental, arranged for me to see the Dr., in less than an hour and a half. That is unheard of! Amazing. The Dr. helped with my dental issue, prior to a prearranged appointment with an oral specialist, later that day. My general dentist did NOTHING to help me! Again, I have no idea why not. I contacted the office three (3) times, about my plight. Awful! My wife and I are seniors and need stability and assurance that our dental needs will be met with understanding and compassion. Dr. Whipple and his entire staff at Seven Valley Dental provided that for me. I understand that this review is my own personal experience. However, one needs to look at the other posts about this dental practice. Cortland residents are very lucky to have such a great dentist in their midst!!!!! I cannot give a higher endorsement to this Dr. and his entire staff of professionals!! Bernie B. Dryden, NY

I highly recommend anyone and everyone who is leaving reviews on here to leave them on the BBB. As…read moreof now this facility has an A+ rating and that is absolutely unacceptable. I visited on 3/27 as a new patient for a routine cleaning and X-rays. After explaining that I had a receding gum line causing sensitivity, the dentist's "exam" consisted of him literally hitting my teeth with a metal instrument. When I said it didn't hurt, he dismissed my concerns entirely without further investigation. The "cleaning" was even worse. He spent less than five minutes aggressively scrubbing my teeth, completely ignoring my visible pain and his own assistant's warnings about my sensitivity on my bottom teeth. He continued a personal conversation with his staff while water and drool ran down my neck. There was no scaling/scraping, no flossing, and no polishing--none of the standard care you'd expect from a professional cleaning. I was in and out in 15 minutes and charged $210 for an incomplete, painful, and dismissive service. I will never return and strongly suggest looking elsewhere.

I had the best experience with this office-at all levels…read more First, I need to say-Taylor needs a raise and that is worth repeating. Taylor needs a raise. What a pleasant, kind problem solver-Taylor figured out what was going on for me and confirmed an appointment for me. She followed up, talked to my insurance and got me started down this path- which is epic. She made sure a new patient got a chance, time and a warm welcome. I am having problems. Problems with my teeth, insurance, my current dentist, my current periodontist and getting my proposed surgery ( which I now know makes no sense to have). I. drove 40 miles one way to get here to this location because I've been trying to get surgery for way too long- a surgery that wouldn't really help me but others said was the correct approach. Aspen Cortland rolled out the red carpet and delivered for me- big time. Todd kicked butt and got me an appointment with Aspen vestal for a follow up on a potential root canal for 3 days after my visit. 3 days!! Todd made sure things went smoothly for me at the Cortland appointment but also for my for future care at a different office. What great patient care. He also helped explain some technical stuff for me in PLAIN ENGLISH!! Actually every one here took the time and spoke plainly and not in a condescending way. But the conversations were one human to another. Wow what a fantastic and fresh way to run a dental practice. Speaking of one to one human contact and explaining things well- Dr Alex Sonesson. He is probably the best dentist/oral surgeon I have ever met. He explained my films, my pain and my old diagnosis and why the surgery that was suggested for me might not be practically correct for me and how our focus should shift!! Wow. What a lovely and life changing appointment. 5 stars for them all. Every single person I met here contributed to my health. I cannot recommend this practice enough. Thank you

Consumer BEWARE…read more Aspen Dental in Cortland NY has the worst service, on ALL levels I have ever seen. First, their hours, see picture attached, they are only open two days a week (on average). That means, if you need an appointment on 12/4, your next available will be 1/15. I'll take my records thank you, I'm done! Second, their work is bad. I had two fillings done on my two front teeth because I over brushed. They filled them with a yellowish filling. All my teeth are white except my two front teeth (I don't smoke and avoid staining beverages). I'm afraid to smile. When I went back to have it fixed, they polished them, which made it ok, for a few weeks. When I called to have it fixed again, I got the pricing for what I would have to pay. THEY DONT BACK UP THIER BAD WORK. It's a revolving door of new doctors. One time it must have been the new doctors first day, talk about scary. Covered in water because she didn't know the equipment. Your a test subject! The office staff, there are a lot of them, some of them know what's going on, they told me when they saw what they did to my teeth, "oh you want this dr, he's the owner, he's good" they know that the dentists are NOT GOOD, they try to help. Some of them are NASTY! They are like, take a number. Because just because they are closed almost all the time doesn't mean the office staff is not still there, everyday, working behind locked doors, NOT ANSWERING THE PHONE, but if you show up they may let you in, to tell you they can make an appointment for you five weeks out. Keep it local, I called a local recommended dentist and got an appointment 2 days out. Hopefully they can fix what aspen screwed up. It's going to cost me though. I have never in my lifetime seen service as bad as Aspen. I rarely write a bad review, I'm pretty easy going, but this place is scary. Beware.
