Team
What patients say
Vibe: professional
The practice has overwhelmingly positive sentiment (13/15 five-star reviews) with patients praising staff friendliness, efficiency, and comfort. However, two negative reviews raise concerns about Dr. Porter's treatment recommendations—specifically exaggerating cavity counts in children and being condescending. Staffing challenges are mentioned (one dentist, one hygienist, difficulty hiring), and one patient experienced administrative scheduling issues and crown quality problems.
