    I'm shocked at the negative reviews. Dr Lucus is awesome! I…read morehave weak teeth and have seen countless dentist, & paid thousands. Even utilized the dental school in baltimore to save money. I got tired of the drive so on my mom's recommendation I saw Dr Lucus. Unlike every single dentist prior, Dr Lucus didn't make a big issue about all of my problems or make me feel bad about it. On my first appointment, he fixed my front tooth that was chipped, which evened out & significantly improved my smile line! I have been wanting to get my smile line capped, but the prices I had been quoted from previous dentists was ridiculous- $10k+! Even without my insurance, the price I'm paying with Dr Lucus is thousands less. Additionally, within my smile line I have a dental implant. Dr Lucus has gone above and beyond to make sure he has the proper tools to handle my implant. I have found most dentists to be highly money motivated, & aggressive with treatments due to the financial benefit not patient care but Dr Lucus is not. He won't push you for procedures you don't need. You can talk to him & he will actual listen! You can ask questions and participate in your dental care. He is incredibly accommodating. We worked together on my treatment plan. If you want a dentist that cares about you as a person and a patient, I highly recommend Dr Lucus!

    Dr. Lucas and Mansurri are outstanding dentist; I just can't imagine why people would say…read moredifferently! I am 60 years old, and used many dentists in my lifetime. Dr James Lucas is most honest, compassionate and practical, he saves his patience allot of money when they have no dental insurance, and has helped me right out of his own pocket! He is easy to talk with and most gracious to all his patients. It is difficult to find a hometown dentists nowadays who puts people first, but that's what you get when you visit Dr. Lucas and Dr. Mansurri ; hometown care at a great price!

    I have been receiving my dental care from this group for over 10 years. The staff and healthcare…read moreprofessionals make the visit a pleasure. Walking into the office you will immediately fell the warmth and care from the in-take staff. The lobby is clean and always well organized. Next, as you enter the care bay, you will once again see the high quality of cleanliness and organization. Their equipment are modern and the staff is very knowledgeable. My hygienist is very skillful and caring. She takes the time to listen to my concerns and always willing to provide excellent guidance. After my cleaning session, my teeth always feel clean. And she sends me away equip with the skills and knowledge to continue caring for my dental hygiene. The support staff always reach out with reminders about upcoming appointments and are always willing to accommodate changes to fit busy schedules. I highly recommend this office for your dental care.

    To be honest my teeth weren't in great condition. I went into the Millsboro office and was greeted…read moreby a super nice and friendly assistant. Not sure she was at all confident in her position there, as she seemed a bit hesitant to get things going, more friendly chit chat. Time for scan of my mouth, and she couldn't get it to work. She tried over and over with no avail and was super apologetic, but obviously she had no idea what she was doing with the scanner, she just knew to stand me in front of it and push a button. She was almost in panic mode when someone walked by and she said she needed help. Their response was, "Oh, it's broken, they are supposed to fix it soon." So back to the chair we went where she fiddled with my mouth. After a bit she went and checked and they said the scanner was fixed, so I went and had that done. Eventually this female dentist came in and looked in my mouth, she never so much as touched me and then looked at the scan and other info they had on me and she said there wasn't anything she could do for me, that I should go get my teeth extracted and come back and she'd give me dentures! WTH? She told me to make an appointment with an oral surgeon now because it takes a long time to get an appointment. She got up and left. She wasn't with me for more than 5 minutes! She never discussed any concerns I had, she just left me hanging. Who ever said I wanted my teeth pulled and not repaired? Who said I would want dentures? Other options? I thought she must be having a really bad day! This cost me $350! I left there thinking what the hell just happened? Believe me when I say I was sure I would NEVER be returning to that office! I had just been robbed for $350! Incompetent, but lovely assistant, broken down equipment and the WORST exam I've ever had! Is this is so unacceptable! I'm giving this office a -10! Sussex county is known for their extremely expensive, can't get an appointment dentists, and I strongly say do yourself a favor and drive north.

    avoid at all cost after making $6000 of payment missed a payment and they took us to court over 800…read morebucks that we where not only in contact with there office and where told not a big deal. Greedy Wish I could give no stars

    Originally, Mark Higgenbottom ran his own office with kindness & integrity. In his retirement, his…read more2 son's have taken over. Kyle, the youngest, after 2.5 years, and not getting my son's teeth straight, shaved them down (literally filed my son's teeth down). Until this incident, I didn't even know this was a possibility. How awful, I spent THOUSANDS of dollars to not have his teeth/bite fully corrected & to get them shaved down. My 2 son's had fabulous service but my 3rd son's teeth got shaved down because the orthodontist practice was now taken over by Mark Higgenbotto's kids. Before he shaved/filed his teeth I was not told 1)which teeth would be filed 2) how much would be filed from those teeth 3) if we filed them, when the braces would come off 4) if we didn't file them how much longer the braces would stay on After we paid thousands and signed a contract, no one ever told me that NOT straightening my child's teeth was an option or I would have found another orthodontist. My 4th child will never go to this office & I can no longer suggest anyone else go either. Stay away, from one mom to another find another orthodontist! These people should be ashamed of themselves! Now this is my opinion & I have nothing to back it up however what I think happened is that they know (have calculated) the approximate time of each teen in braces and if your child's teeth don't move quite enough in that time frame maybe it starts eating into their profit margin & they want to get you out of there.....Just a guess.
