    Avera stepped in as emergency back up for my Periodonist Easter weekend, one week after I had surgery.

    I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Amy and her entire team. From the moment I walked…read morein, I felt genuinely cared for. Her bedside manner is exceptional--calm, patient, and incredibly reassuring. She took the time to thoroughly answer all of my questions without ever making me feel rushed, which made such a difference. The office staff was equally amazing--friendly, helpful, and very clear and transparent about pricing, which I truly appreciated. The whole experience felt thoughtful, honest, and supportive from start to finish. If you're looking for a dentist who is not only highly skilled but also deeply caring, I wholeheartedly recommend this practice.

    TL;DR: Dr. Do seems to be a friendly and competent dentist, I would have preferred more…read morecommunication but I was overall happy with my care. I'm leaving a long review as I was disappointed by the number and quality of dentistry reviews when finding a place to go. I scheduled my appointment via the email on Dr. Do's website, as I failed to get through on multiple separate phone call attempts. This went smoothly, though it was a two month wait for an appointment. The office is part of a small collection of offices, and is on the second floor. There are perhaps a dozen parking spaces easily available, and a parking lot for a shopping center across the street. The office is relatively small, but has multiple private areas for patients. The seating area is small, but comfortable with a fish tank to watch. The staff at the desk were friendly and helpful. An assistant sat me down and gave me quite a few X-rays, as is their standard practice. Dr. Do came in after, and commented on a note that I'd made on my intake form - a great sign. She ran through my exam efficiently and gave clear feedback. Unfortunately I can't speak to the quality of her feedback, since I have no dentistry expertise, but she didn't say anything I know to be wrong. I would have appreciated a moment to ask questions as this point, but she moved on to another patient and an assistant flossed and helpfully provided a recommendation for a specific tool. I was also given a fluoride treatment. I needed to schedule a cavity drilling and filling and was able to make an appointment for a week later. I was given an estimate of what I would pay out of pocket and what insurance would cover. The default filling they offered was composite resin, though this was never said out loud, I read it on the estimate. The cavity drilling and filling went smoothly, but a small piece chipped shortly after. Dr. Do saw me quickly and for free to look over the filling.

    Dr. Shively is the best dentist that I have ever seen. He is a real pro and not quick to drill or…read moreadd on work that you really don't need. I can tell that he's not in it for the money. He is conservative and thoughtful in his decisions and is very likable and has a great way of making me feel very comfortable about dental work. Because he is older than me, my greatest fear about dentistry now is that he may not do it forever.

    Crooked dentist in three distinct ways:…read more 1. As a cash paying customer, they always quoted me one price on a service and then when I had the service a week or two later, they had jacked up the price. I was dumb not to get it in writing because I expected them to be honorable with their word. I would just write the "quoted" price on a sheet of paper at the time of the visit, but that holds no water with them. Perhaps now they give victims, I mean clients, a quote in writing but they did not do so when I was a patient. 2. When I had crowns done by this dentist, he put them on crooked and they "failed" (the final crown). The temporary crowns fell off while waiting for the final crowns. He is impatient and stand-offish while he works. 3. When I had my teeth cleaned, the hygenist said "oh the doctor will look at you now." Who asked for him? Not me! But he glanced for less than 5 seconds (no exaggeration!) and the frumpy brown-haired woman in the front office then charged me for a full dentist examination. I had enough of their ways and just moved on to another dentist. When I established with a new dentist, he claimed that Shively had done "horrible work" . I didn't need him to make any comment about Shively because I had the sense to dump him myself. If you have insurance, you will probably get through okay but if you are cash pay, expect to be fleeced.
