I was a patient for many, many years when it was Dr Haggerty's practice. He retired & unfortunately, in the last 5 years or so, it is evident it was purchased by a corporate entity & has gone downhill because of that. It is all about the bottom line & selling selling selling. Rotating dentists, never know who you will see or if you'll see them again & no caring or compassion from the staff or dentists. Find a private practice that will care about you as a person & not see you as a "sale". I wIll not go back, and do not recom... read more

Have been going here for years for cleanings and dental work (by other dentists than Dr Ludke) but after my last experience, I will not be returning. The cost estimates provided before the work started, and what I agreed to were HALF of what I was actually charged but the worst part is Dr Ludke crowned a perfectly good tooth! If the correct hot/cold testing would have been done beforehand it would have been clear that that specific tooth was not the one causing my pain. Now I'm having to make monthly payments for unnecessa... read more

This is the WORST of the worst Dental Office I have visited along my whole life. The front desk person also in charge of the billing is so crooked. She charged me extra $204 without my authorization. When I complained, her answer was not a n apology but "don't worry, I'll apply this to your next visit." However, I will never go back there because the bridge treatment was a total fiasco, a travesti. The doctor in charge was not a staff but someone brought just for some treatments. About the dental assistants, I had a differen... read more

I choose this dental office based on reviews and insurance recommendation. Unfortunately, my experience was less than pleasant. I came with a severe tooth infection and left with the same infection, being advised to make an appointment for another day since apparently, I needed to have extensive dental work done for a ridiculous amount $$$. I was in so much pain that I called my insurance and explained the situation. Insurance company suggested another dentist, which thankfully could see me the next day. It turned out that m... read more

This dentist cancelled my appointment 2 times with short notice. It is obvious that it was because I was a new patient for discounted exam, cleaning and x-rays. They could make more money from another patient.

Had a tooth extracted. I was anxious prior but the hygienist put me at ease and the dentist was very kind and talked to me during the short procedure. I was very pleased with my experience.
