5 star rating for a Dentist office? Who even likes going to the dentist enough to give 5 stars?!…read moreBut seriously, this place deserves it! This office was recommended to me by a co-worker and I couldn't be happier that I chose this place as my dental office. Each and every appointment I have ever had here I have been treated with nothing but the utmost courtesy and respect by the receptionists, hygienist, and dentists. They also have always been on-time for my appointments. I've been to other dentist offices in the area where they like to try and push unnecessary cosmetic treatments on you -- this office does not do that. They will make suggestions based upon what your goals are with your teeth and that is it, but I have never felt uncomfortable here trying to be "sold" on a service or product like I have at other offices. The office itself is very nice and ample parking is available out front and they accept Penn State insurance!

My third appointment they called to reschedule. This was January. I told them that I needed an afternoon appointment.

Painless dentistry…read more I have very sensitive teeth, have since I was a child, and thought there really was nothing for it. It turns out, a highly skilled dentist with a priority on patient comfort makes all the difference. Dr. Schimmel gave me a real true painless filling. Then another on the other side the next week. I wasn't dreaming - it's reproducible! I was blown away that I could get a weekday appointment in less than a week if my schedule was flexible, and two if it wasn't so much. The staff is friendly and courteous. I usually see the same hygienist each time, who is gentle with the cleaning, and I rarely need to tell her if something hurts. Lisa in the front office is personable and straightforward. Dr. Schimmel himself is gentle and thorough in his exams. Everyone remembers me, even though it's been six months. The feeling is a little like family, and it reminds me of the family dentist I went to growing up (don't tell him Dr. Schimmel gives better filings). They don't participate in any insurance plans, but they accept insurance payments and the copays for the Penn State plans are affordable. I haven't had to have a more complex procedure than a filling done since I've been coming here, but the people who referred me to the office insisted the fee scale is reasonable. This practice also means that there isn't a no-insurance penalty. I wish I had started going to this office sooner, and the only reason I am considering leaving it is because I'm moving away. With some friends still in town, I wonder if it's not worthwhile to schedule visits while I'm back visiting.

The members of this practice were intrusive with personal space and extremely harsh over minor…read morelateness. During appointments, I had to ask two different dentists and a dental assistant to stop touching and patting me throughout treatment. It was not a single incidental touch, but continuous unnecessary physical contact on my arm or shoulder, which was highly unusual and felt invasive. A hygienist also used my chest as a resting surface for her instruments, dropping tools onto it repeatedly during cleaning. I found the experience physically uncomfortable and jarring. I continued going there for several years because, to their credit, they eventually noted my discomfort in my chart and the unwanted touching stopped. However, at my last appointment I was 7 minutes late because of an unexpected domestic issue that arose as I was leaving the house. I called ahead to let them know. When I arrived, I was told they could no longer see me as a patient because I was "always" late, which was simply untrue. I had often arrived on time and had also waited 20 to 30 minutes for the office when it was running behind, including one occasion when the wait was closer to 40 minutes. What felt especially unfair was that I was never given any warning about lateness policies before being abruptly dismissed from the practice after arriving for my appointment. There were no prior conversations, notices, or written warnings in their appointment communications. Being refused treatment and permanently dropped as a patient on the spot over being 7 minutes late was disproportionately harsh and humiliating. A basic courtesy conversation or warning beforehand would have made the situation feel far less unnecessarily severe. Overall, I found the practice disrespectful of personal boundaries and needlessly punishing toward me as a longtime patient.

Coming into the appointment I was extremely distraught by the damage on my two front teeth (both were extremely chipped.) Not only did Dr. Marks fix my teeth on the spot, but they look better than they did before the accident. His staff are patient, kind, and personable. The women in the office made me feel comfortable and ensured me everything would be okay. Everyone made it super easy to understand what was being done to my teeth and how I could go about caring for them in the future. I can't emphasize enough how wonderful my experience was with this office- especially because of how awful my circumstances were going in there. Dr. Marks is extremely talented at what he does && his staff are some of the kindest people I have met!

This review is for Dr. Ben Williams' practice…read more I had my teeth cared for by Dr. Williams and his staff for 30+ years. He was an exceptionally good dentist with a terrific manner and was always friendly. His staff of hygienists were excellent and remained your hygienist for years, even decades. His front office staff was exceptional, always dressed professionally and always presented themselves attractively. Like everyone else they were eternally upbeat, pleasant and helpful. Everyone knew you by sight. Plus, Dr. Williams had an epically wonderful waiting room. The leather chairs and couches remain the most comfortable on which I've ever sat. In the center was a circular table with all types of interesting reading material. It was better than home. I was sorry to see Dr. Williams retire but he certainly earned it. Hope he's doing well. I'll write a review on the new practice shortly.

Beyond that he never tries to push you into doing a procedure that isn't covered by my insurance. Nor does he try to push you to specialists and surgery for no reason. He'll even show you a better way to floss and keep your teeth healthy if you're having issues. Truly a gem among dentists! But it can be a bit of a maze from hell trying to navigate your way through the main building's front door. My suggestion would be to take the entrance on Pugh St just past the Red Cross office, from there its a straight shot down the hall two to three doors down!

As a Penn State insured grad student, I paid only $20.20! They were upfront with cost and not even slightly pushy. I can't stress this enough. I've been to dentists that use technology and scare tactics to try and get me to spend $1000's on preventative measures that aren't covered by most insurance plans. The building they're in is a bit of a maze. Make sure to enter through the Pugh street entrance or you'll be confused. Read on for more details on the whole interaction. ~~~ I called at 11:45am, explained that I had a painless but clearly-visible cavity that needed filling ASAP before a vacation. I didn't have insurance info on hand, but the receptionist was able to pull up my information right away and give me price quotes over the phone. Due to a cancellation, within the hour I was in the dentists' chair having a great conversation about local fishing spots while we waited for the local anesthetic to kick in. He reminded me multiple times to "not be shy" and tell them when it hurts. When they started, I wimped out and asked for more anesthetic...so more fishing chat ensued. After what seemed like 15-20 minutes of pain-free work...they finished up and sent me on my way! I'm scheduled to go back after vacation. I can honestly say that they've cured me of my irrational fear of getting my teeth fixed up and plan to go back for regular cleanings like when I was a young tyke and my parents made me go!
