I've been going here for nearly 4 years now. The staff (everyone from receptionist to Dr. Bolam…read moreherself) are friendly, caring, personable, and genuinely interested in your well being. Appointments are easy to get, their schedule is very accommodating and the best part is - you get a rose when you leave!! :) It can be hectic getting in all of your Dr appts while working so for your convenience they have snacks and drinks for you in the lobby as well as freshly baked cookies (sounds contradicting, I know) for you to take on your way out. I believe they also have BBQ Friday's during the summer where they have hot dogs with all the fix-ins. They make the "not so pleasant" procedures tolerable, almost pleasant. I've been recommending them to everyone I know. My only gripe is that the service can be slooooow. I guess its because they give everyone personalized attention. Dont expect to squeeze in a cleaning or visit during your lunch hour.

Dentist!!! Scary, Painful!!! NO-WAY, not at Bolam Dental…read more Best staff, and hosting efforts. You leave here with clean teeth and possibly a full tummy if you're hungry. They keep a fridge stocked with drinks and juices. Fresh baked cookies and fresh roses EVERY TIME! I always had bad experiences with my previous dentist. Total opposite here. My hygienist is Kathleen, she is the most gentle, sweetest person who could ever mess with your teeth! I never had a cavity until recently so I was super nervous about the filling procedure, specially the injection. Didn't feel a thing, I thought that was impossible. They do everything to keep you as comfy as possible: memory foam pillow, warm blanket, comfy chair, headphones and cable tv right above your head so you can watch as you get work done. No complaints here!

I left a positive review sometime ago but find that I'm having to rescind it…read more I had a bridge (both 27+ yrs.old) that did crack but was manageable. Dr. Olinger suggested I have an implant (actually two) and directed his staff to check with my insurance. They were given a verbal approval so we proceeded with the process. When the billing was submitted, the insurance company denied payment. Through almost a year of fighting with them, my husband ended up having to seek possible litigation to have the matter resolved. It was finally approved because a verbal was given but not a written approval. The implants were finally completed. I was happy with them until recently when I started having jaw pain on the left and crown pain (#29) next to the implant (30). Dr. Olinger has recently sold his practice to another dentist and his new staff worked hard to give me relief. When I asked about the jaw pain I was told that I probably needed another mouth guard for TMJ. Now we're a combined family and the ex Mrs. P goes to the same practice as well as the adult children. I thought nothing of this arrangement as I was the newcomer, but I DO have issues when the staff tells me that "%^$#" missed their appt. or "*(&^%$ was just in here". Really!! They're adults...none of my business! I had a follow up visit with Dr. Olinger to check the crown. I told him my concerns and he stepped away from my chair and yelled to the staff, "???, can you get me "*%$#!" x-rays? The ex's name...Are you kidding me? When I called him on it, he apologized profusely and said "it was a habit". I've been going there since 2010 and you would think he would have gotten it by now!! I sought referrals from friends for a new dentist and had my first appointment this morning with a great practice. They called Dr. Olinger's office for my dental records and any x-rays that they could provide. I was told that I hadn't had a full mouth x-ray since 2010! Dr. Olinger's practice had only concentrated on the money makers...the implants! The x-rays were performed and it was discovered that the crown Dr. Olinger had said "looked good" is actually cracked and needs fixed. The TMJ? The molar (15) next to the new implant (14) is decayed and quite possibly can't be fixed. I run the risk of losing several teeth due to neglect on Dr. Olingers part and possibly having them replaced with implants that my insurance doesn't cover. They didn't in the first place!!! Sharing ANY information about someone else (family or not!) is a direct HIPAA violation. I believe that being Dr. Olingers patient since 2010 with all the issues, shows I'm a patient and forgiving consumer. There just comes a time when you say enough is enough. I'm done.

I gotta tell you, it's really nice to see a dentist that will talk straight with you, not treat you…read morelike a child or be condescending to you. I went in for my (cough) 3 year exam and cleaning. I was super impressed with the technology they had at this office. I'm not talking about TV's on the ceilings or anything like that. I'm talking about the laser cleanings and computer monitors right in front of each chair. You can look at your X-rays along with the dentist and have things explained to you. I felt a real sense of comfort and that my business was appreciated. On a side note: I think it might be a requirement to have really pretty eyes to work at this office.

No upselling or making me feel like my questions or concerns were silly. He took his time and listened to me and advised me on the best course of action but gave me all of the options.

The dentist was nice. The staff was nice…read more All the equipment was very new and modern. The office played good music. BUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My experience was not so great. I had to wait 2 hours from 12pm until finally seen by the dentist at 2pm. Granted there was a dental emergency in the room adjacent to mine, I am not rating based on the long wait for a medical emergency. I bought a LivingSocial deal for an xray,exam and cleaning. I am the kind of person who wants a teeth cleaning every six months in order to maintain good oral health. However, after 2 hours, when the dentist finally sees me, he cleans my teeth for a literal 10 minutes, IF EVEN, and then he's done. No sound of manual scraping of any sort and he only used his other cleaning tool on me for just the very edges near my gum and not between my teeth.. Once he said I was done,I asked for a mirror and showed him where the plaque was still visible and he finally went at it with manual dental tools in order to give me a proper cleaning in the area that I pointed out. However, I can't see the backside of my teeth with their mirror so I couldn't verify if he cleaned well enough behind... When I came home, my teeth didn't feel as clean as they usually did after a proper cleaning and the backside of my teeth still has plaque. This is the WORST cleaning service I have ever had. Not thorough at all. I will know better than to come back to the office and stray away from my regular dentist even though she charges twice as much as the LivingSocial deal I had (around 60).

I would like to thank the team here for Dr. Henry Tran and also front desk Derek.

Our family loves this dentist so much that even the out-of-town family members try to schedule their appointments for when they will be in town. Update 5/30/16: I was a bit upset when I saw a one-star review from someone who gave him a low rating simply because he is not taking new patients! This person gave the poor dentist one star because he isn't taking new clients--wouldn't that mean that he's such a good dentist that he's full up with people who love him and he doesn't have room to add anyone else in? Because I go to this dentist, I know he is absolutely excellent and reasonably priced and hasn't taken new patients for quite a long time because he just can't fit in any more. To me this does not reflect that reviewer's personal experience with the quality of his work or the cleanliness of his office and therefore is not an accurate review. So I can't recommend you go to this dentist since he isn't taking new clients but I can testify how excellent a dentist he is!

STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!!! BOTH LOCATIONS. If you care…read moreabout your dental health, I strongly recommend staying far away from this place. After being a patient here for 12 years--since I was 15--I've come to realize how shady and untrustworthy this office truly is. The staff, including the doctors, are consistently rude, dismissive, and rough during procedures. They seem to have little regard for patient comfort or concerns. Over time, I began to suspect they were recommending unnecessary treatments just to exploit and literally drain my dental insurance year after year. My suspicions were confirmed during my most recent visit, when they suddenly told me I had eight cavities. Mind you the time before that "I had six". That was the breaking point. I decided to get a second opinion from a new dentist--who was professional, kind, and far more thorough. To my shock (and relief), I was told I had zero cavities. That confirmed everything I had feared. Who knows just how many times they lied to me in the span of 12 years. I'm sure it was A LOT. Im just glad I have all my teeth still! On top of all this, I also had braces done here for three years, and my teeth are still not straight. I only had them removed because I was so frustrated. The Dr. for the braces ALSO SUCKS! I could go on and on about everything that's wrong with this place. This office is not just unprofessional--it's unethical. I regret trusting them for so long.
