The Best Dentist Office Around!…read more Dr.Harrison is a phenomenal doctor; she's detailed, efficient, and has a human centered approach in her communication. I always feel comfortable and safe with Dr.Harrison, and I don't typically feel that way with Dentists. The staff is also phenomenal. Megan and Jess, who run the office, and super friendly and accommodating. They always try to work me in the schedule when there is an emergency. They text back and forth which is convenient for me. I get auto-reminders before and the day of the appointments. It's a great experience and these two are a big reason why. Susie, Becky, and Kim and three of the dental hygienists that I've worked with over the past few years. They also contribute to this special culture here. No time is wasted in my appointments because these 3 are always on their game. I know there are other hygienists and I can guarantee if they work in this office, they are good at what they do. What I particularly appreciate about this office is the culture and the way people treat each other. When you add that on top of excellent dentistry, there is not much more you can ask for. I highly recommended this office.

Dr Harrison took the time to explain the procedure and show a photo to me if my tooth that was taken with a small camera in seconds. As it turned out, no further treatment was required.

My kids have been going to Dr. Mark for about 4 years now. I LOVE the staff there!!! They are so…read moregreat with my kids. Though I have to say, my kids are pretty easy, but I can see that they would be great with just about any kind of kid. As for Dr. Mark, I think he can be taken the wrong way. I think he is very funny. He has a sense of humor that some people just don't get (or just takes time). I am very comfortable with him and his staff. We will continue to go there as long as we are in the area!!

Be aware when you are dealing with these people…read more I had been going here for years with no real issue. Recently I ended up in a back and forth over whether or not my child was allowed to have an afternoon appointment. This had never been an issue before but he used to be scared and need me to sit with him. Early on I had to restrain himbut the last couple of times he was fine with me just sitting with him. At his last appointment they had him sit in the chair alone for a while and he did great. So imagine my surprise when I got a call saying they could no longer do an afternoon because he had difficulties. I am unable to do mornings so this was a big issue. I finally told them I would just go elsewhere. They worked it out with me in the end but only after some back and forth. Today I got notified of a $200 charge on my card that they had self authorized. From my appointment in June. When I called they said they had sent me email notifications for their portal which I did not receive. So, instead of calling me they just charged my card. And then they had the nerve to argue it with me. By allowing them to keep the card on file I had somehow authorized them to charge it as needed? Absurd. (When pressed they gave me a quick breakdown of what was not covered by insurance but I had to call the insurance comapny to find out details.) And the whole time I got the "polite" but you are the one in the wrong attitude. Needless to say that I am done. In a general sense the people/dentists here are nice. I really just can't deal with how they run the business though. I just spent my whole lunch break today figuring this issue out.

I recently took two young children to Dr. Lindi for their first dentist appointment and cannot find…read moreenough superlatives to describe the experience! The appointments involved cleaning and x-rays, and a second appointment involved fillings. Dr. Lindi's skills and technique were superb. Everything from the comfortable chairs for the children to the cleaning and drill equipment were state of the art. Her use of calming aids and mastery of the equipment made fillings a painless experience. In addition to her technical skills, her bedside (chairside?) manner was soothing, calming, and reassuring. During the entire appointment, she spoke softly to the children, encouraging them, and telling them how good and special they were. At our first visit, there was time for only one of the children to be seen, and the second child was almost in tears because he didn't get his exam that day! The wide selection of videos during treatment provides entertainment. Now they both like to go to the dentist! Her combination of technical expertise and empathetic manner should be a model for all medical personnel. The long-term benefit is that, as children, they are made to feel special and are encouraged to care for their teeth. Being Dr. Lindi's patient as a child increases the likelihood that, as an adult, that person will appreciate the importance of lifetime dental care, because they are worth it. I should also mention that every person in the office, from the receptionist, to office personnel, to hygienists, to dental assistants, were professional and followed the same high standards as Dr. Lindi. Thank you, Dr. Lindi and staff.

This review is coming from someone who has had anxiety and dental phobias for years, so much so…read morethat I hadn't gone, even to get a cleaning, in about 5 years. I've since visted GFD twice in the past two weeks. Professional, check. Knowledgeable, check. Friendly, check. Gentle, check. Relatable, check. Above all of that, I kid you not, this place is a nice day at the park. From the moment you walk in the door it's like being welcomed in by long time friends. Then before you know it (if you're emotionally open for it of course), you realize you've found yourself in a comedy club, smiles and laughter abound and the positive energy is just everywhere. Enter the space with "the chair", the once anxiety producing object carries only a relaxing welcome here. More friendly and helpful faces talk you through everything, the chair goes back and the concert begins. Yes you read right, concert. There is no time to feel nervous when you feel like you're in such good hands, you can just enjoy the show. The staff are so in tune with each other it's like watching a dance happen above you. You've got you're "safe gesture" since you can't have a safe word, and your comfort is checked in with frequently. I thought for sure I was going to request Nitrous Oxide (laughing gas) for my procedure today but Bei Li was so gentle, I didn't even feel the Novocaine. Like an hour at the spa, I had to resist closing my eyes to complete the relaxation for fear that they may have thought I'd passed-out. Bonus, as genuine as they are in their interest and care of you, they don't ask you questions that require long answers WHILE they are working in your mouth. B O N U S. Never in my life have I felt so taken care of, welcomed, and relaxed at dental appointments. I feel like I have new friends and I actually look forward to going in to see them again. This place WILL change the way you experience dentistry.

This guy can't be trusted. Period. Decide for yourself or just to somewhere else. If for some…read morereason you do go there, pay very close attention to your bill. He tried charging me $1700 for three cavities! Oh but only 1200 after my insurance!? What!!?? I said absolutely not. He "adjusted" the bill taking off the same amount the insurance was paying, that's suspect. So if I didn't refuse to pay that ridiculous amount, it would've cost about $585 per tooth?!! Not to mention the teeth he drilled, he did so going by 2 year old xrays from prior Dentist. These teeth were past repair apparently and now I have zero cash/insurance left until next year and I accomplished nothing this year. Not even mad, disappointed and sad mostly.

I have been with this practice, including my entire family, since Day 1 - when Dr. Don Welsh…read morestarted the practice decades ago. Exceptional quality and perfection has become the hallmark of this practice. At an age where my husband, who considered Dr. Don a friend for years, has passed, my children have grown and have families of their own, and my medical practitioners have all retired, it was clear that Dr. Don chose the Ultimate Best in Dr. Samantha King to replace him. The staff is kind, friendly, and efficient, so it remains a pleasant atmosphere and experience for everyone. I look forward to my dental appointments, and even through the pandemic, there was a certain relaxation knowing that a secure ventilation system was installed for the safety of staff and patients. I do miss Dr. Don patting me on the shoulder as I sat in the chair, inquiring about my granddaughter (also his patient) at college in Colorado when he often inquired about her, but he still yells "Hi" to me when he cycles past my home in Kittery Point. I would give this dental practice ten stars if it were possible.
