    I have used DDS John Phelps twice in 12 years for an acrylic partial. I now live 2 hours away from…read moreIndianapolis, and was so pleased with my first partial, that I decided to make the several long trips to his office to have a new one made...yes, he is that good. I am a perfectionist, and needed a partial for my front teeth. I wanted a prosthodontist that was also a perfectionist. One that pays close attention, and has a good eye for detail. DDS Phelps is that person. He patiently endured with me until we got it right to my satisfaction. He uses quality grade materials that are better than that of a dentists, and some other prosthodontists. This current partial looks as perfect as it can get. The last partial that he made me lasted over 10 years. I expect this one to last a long time as well. DDS Phelps receptionist Ann Marie is excellent also. She is organized, polite, personable, and does her best to get patients seen around their busy schedules. The total costs was very reasonable, especially given the time spent working out the details and getting the bite correct and comfortable....which is so important. The entire staff at DDS Phelps office works hard to meet the intricate needs of their patients. I would highly recommend DDS Phelps to meet any of your detailed, cosmetic dental needs.

    Dr. Phelps and Kirk are true artists. Ann Marie and Markita keep everything running smoothly. All…read morewere a joy to work with. I was referred to Dr. Phelps by my family dentist after he and my periodontist ran out of options to fix failing crowns (4 upper front teeth). The consultation was clear, follow-up was prompt, and expectations were set. For the next 6 months I spent quite a bit of time with Dr. Phelps and Markita getting implants. They communicated well, kept me at ease, and truly cared about the quality of their work and my long-term satisfaction. Appointment reminders came via email and text. If needed, assistance was just a quick email or phone call away. For the first time in years I want to show off my beautiful smile - a positive life-changing experience! I'm glad the procedure is over, but sad that I don't get to see them often anymore. Good people.

    My dentist and his assistant were top notch. All questions…read morewere answered, the dentist made me feel at ease, even if while shooting me in the mouth with a needle.

    Went in for a very painful tooth from a botched filling by another dentist. When I expressed…read moreconcern w/Dr. Brooke Adler's recommended treatment plan, and wanted to discuss it some more, Dr. Adler became frustrated and lifted my seat and took off her mask and said "it seems like you don't want to follow through with my recommended treatment". I explained that I did desperately need to be treated, because I was in a lot of pain and my insurance, which covered the cost of the treatment, was expiring that week. Then she said that there wasn't time to do any treatment that day (even though she had just told me she could treat me and I had confirmed multiple times before when setting up the appointment that there would be time). All of this happened within the span of about 5-10 minutes. I said that I had made an appointment specifically for treatment that day (and had taken the time off and moved things around for the treatment). Then Dr. Adler said she would go talk to her office manager. When Dr. Adler came back a few minutes later, she asked me to get up and follow her. I asked if I was going to be treated, and she would only answer "The office manager will explain everything." When I arrived at the manager's office, Dr. Adler quickly left me there. The office manager handed me a referral from Dr. Adler to go see another dentist. I told the office manager that I had told Dr. Adler I did want to move forward with her treatment plan, because there wasn't time to go see another dentist that week. The office manager was arrogant and rude, and refused to help me be seen before my insurance expired. I was so devastated. I had never experienced a doctor or dentist refusing to treat me, or someone acting so petty and smug about withholding treatment from me. This was all bad enough. But then 2 days later, I received a 'Cease and Desist' letter from Pure Zen's attorney stating that if I didn't remove the negative reviews I had posted on Yelp and Google following my experience, that Pure Zen and Dr. Adler would SUE ME for defamation and 'emotional distress' caused by my bad reviews. This added insult to injury, as I was the one who had actually been hurt by this whole situation. I was (and still am) the one in pain and Pure Zen are the ones who were in the wrong. If anything, I should have been suing them! But I had wasted enough stress and mental energy on them already. I responded that I knew my rights and the defamation laws and that businesses cannot win lawsuits against consumers for recounting true experiences with them online. Their attorney began to argue back and forth with me about this via email for several hours the evening before NYE, and stated that if I did not remove the reviews, then they would sue me and I would need to hire a lawyer to defend myself. They were basically trying to bully me with the threat of significant legal expenses to take down my review. When I continued to refuse, citing that my statements were true and that I would defend myself in court if necessary, Pure Zen's attorney replied that she's "looking forward" to suing me and that she may also pursue defamation charges against her law firm (Taft), though I had not mentioned her law firm anywhere online before this. This put me under tremendous stress and anxiety that negatively impacted my holiday weekend, and has continued to stress me out these last few weeks. Ordinary people should not have to worry about companies and medical practices making them go broke if they refuse to allow their right to free speech be taken away from them. It's a form of legal extortion that is wrong and something I would never expect from a medical professional. So far, I have not received any court filing notice, so hopefully this group has come to their senses and dropped their outrageous legal threat against me. It is amazing to me that they didn't just apologize, own up to their mistakes, and work with me to come up with a resolution to get me treated. That's what any good practice would have done. I just hope that no one else has to go through this.

Dr. Kinney, I love you too! :-) I needed to get back into my normal dental care after putting it on the back burner due to life really "lifing" for 2 years, so when they were able to get me in the next day of me visiting, I was very happy. To be able to do something different and it turning out to be better than you thought, is priceless! I was actually a little fearful because I had gone to the same dental office in Carmel for the past 5 years but I am so glad to share that coming to Keystone Dentistry has been one of my best 2025 experiences. I look forward to staying with this dental office and referring others. Thank you for all you do Keystone Dentistry!

She plays close attention to detail and does a great job every time! My kids have grown up there and even though my son is in college out of state, he still comes back to get his yearly cleaning. It is an honest family owned business. We have pretty good teeth, no cavities or caps, however, Dr. Kenny is the best at reviewing our teeth and letting us know what we need and what we don't. He doesn't try to sale you on things you don't need or upscale products. If you're looking for a great dentist office for the whole family, look no more, you've found it. -ML
