Report
Coming to Dental Excellence was a good move on my part. Both the dentist and assistant were kind and honest while maintaining a high degree of professionalism. The news was not great but they made it a lot more tolerable.

I've seen several different hygienists and dentists here over the years (due to a variety of procedures, staffing changes, and changes in insurance). Despite seeing different people, the quality of care has been consistent! My whole family has gone here for decades. They are great at what they do, and very straightforward- I've never had complications after a procedure, and I never feel like they are trying to upsell me on things I don't actually need.

Friendly staff member greeted me on arrival. The time in the waiting room was brief. The hygienist was friendly, efficient, and sensitive to my needs. The TV up high on the wall kept my mind occupied, reducing my anxiety. I don't really like to visit dentists, but they made the whole experience pleasant.

After looking for months for dental care, that would provide the care I needed with medicare. I now understand what good personal dental care is. Dr Finey and the staff at dental excellent are the best. The front staff are so professional and very polite. Her assistant Sarah did not leave any part of my treatment in limbo, from scheduling my upcoming appointments to being mindful of my insurance, was more than I could ask for. I am over the moon happy with Dr Finey professional treatment. I would give 10 stars if I was asked.

Saw Dr Wiley for the first time for a crown although I have been going to Dental Excellence for over fifty years. My previous dentist there has retired. I would highly recommend him. He is very personable and is very gentle and thorough. The entire staff are excellent to work with. My hygienist is Summer and I also highly recommend her.

I have been going to Dental Excellence for over 15 years. I always schedule my cleanings with Judy; she's very thorough, friendly and also professional. I don't know what I'd do without Judy; she's the best! Dr. Carr retired recently and I transitioned to Dr. Finney. This was my second visit with Dr. Finney. She's personable and takes the time to get to know you and makes sure all of your concerns are addressed.
