I love going to the dentist. The hygienist always does a thorough cleaning and Dr. Ellsworth a thorough exam.

I'd only ever been to one other dental practice in my life and when we moved I needed a new one. At first I was very impressed by the office. I was a little surprised when he told me I needed quite a few fillings that my other dentist who I trusted did not, but I went forward with it. I was kept in a mouth opening device for a very long time, at times when he wasn't even in the treatment room, and was given a lot of local anesthetic as he felt that since I'm a red head I would go through it quickly.

I was numb the remainder of the day and could not open my mouth the next day nor nearly for the next week due to severe jaw pain. Since then I've had severe TMJ issues including clicking every time I open my mouth which has never ever been an issue previously in addition to pain etc. Since going to a new office, they requested and reviewed old x rays Dr Ellsworth did and didn't even feel those fillings were indicated.

They had also tried to sell me on some gum treatment and they told me I had gum disease and my new office was just astounded by that and felt my gums were absolutely healthy and needs no treatment. I have waited years before speaking but as I continue to deal with these TMJ issues, I feel others should be warned about these practices before choosing a dentist. He did call me on a Sunday to check on me after we had complained about my issues and essentially tried to sell me another device to solve the problem that I feel he caused.

I just called to become a new patient. You were willing to take me on with the first appointment not until Sept. I was fine with that, but you weren't. As soon as you found out that I was a patient of a retired dentist, that was that. I could not get an appointment. That's too bad because several of my fellow teachers were looking for a new dentist, but I guess it won't be you.

This dental office and staff have but one mission and that is to help and serve their customers and customer needs! We are a family of 4, all with varying dental needs, and we can be assured that the benefit and services information we are given is thorough and accurate so that we can make informed decisions. It doesn't hurt that our 9 year old also just asked to go to the dentist more often based on his own experiences at teeth cleanings.who's child asks to go to the dentist more often

A great experience. The Dr and his staff is amazing. The woman running the desk was amazing she answered all my questions even the silly ones I forgot to ask during the appointment. I can't thank them enough. Plus I love how they require masks and have HEPA filter in the consultation rooms

It took a while to get in for a new client. I can see why, they are all so nice and knowledgeable. After the first appointment they got me in right away for treatment.

I was a new patient coming in to get a chipped front tooth repaired. My calls were returned promptly, the staff was amazing, they assisted with financial options, and I am very happy with the repair. Definitely plan on continuing with Harbor Pointe Dental!

Our family transitioned to Harbor Pointe Dental within the last year and it has been a great experience! They have provided services in a kind, knowledgeable way AND haven't left us feeling like they were trying to sell us on additional services we didn't need. Their office is equipped with updated technology as well that you can watch on screens as they do their work.

You are left knowing the What, the Why, and the Solution after every appt. Even our 9 & 10 year old boys look forward to Going To The Dentist.and if I would have started my review with that sentence, I'd feel there would be nothing more to say. When most of us are left to make phone calls and to figure out our benefits and insurance on our own, Christine is spot on and able to answer billing and benefit questions prior to any surprises happening AND has done this while I'm sitting in the chair so that I can make informed decisions on the spot! It was Very difficult changing our dental practice, however we've landed in a place we feel is like our new dental home.

The staff is super friendly and professional. They made my visit very relaxing and I felt they were genuine with their desire to make sure I was comfortable throughout my appointment. I was impressed with the technology in the office. Being a tech person, it made me feel more confident that they were using the best technology available to take care of me. Dr. Ellsworth is highly educated, skilled and informative.

He genuinely cared about my comfort and my happiness with the outcome of the procedure. If you are new to the area or looking at making a switch, I recommend contacting Harbor Pointe Dental!
