Dr. Margeas agreed to take my case and was courteous during our first appointment. After that, I…read morewas treated so poorly that I wondered if he was confusing me with someone that had done him wrong. It was a herculean task to get him to communicate with the other professionals he referred me to. He delayed my treatment and wouldn't even say hello, whenever he had to interact with me (which were rare occasions). I assumed that he didn't realize the difficulty of the case, and knew he was probably not capable of doing the job. He could have just said so, instead of treating me in such an unethical, inhumane and humiliating fashion at the most vulnerable time in my life. His assistant probably noticed and attempted to make up for his rude and unprofessional behavior, and that was very appreciated (she is a sweetheart.) His hygienists are amazing and I am so thankful for them. Do us all a favor and retire, Dr. Margeas! You ARE NOT God's gift to dentistry, as you think you are. I went to God's gift to dentistry, and he is humble, kind, ethical, humane and probably one of the most competent REAL cosmetic dentists in the US ( Dr. Sam Sadati.) The only thing I am thankful for, is the referral you made to Dr. Neil Dunbar (an outstanding surgeon and human).

Well I have been going here for over 30 years and the quality of service from the dentists and the…read morestaff are second to none. They are very accommodating and do too notch work. I have had a dental bridge for over 35 years, which that is relatively unheard of! I go there twice a year religiously and today I was there for a filling repair. Dr. Economos was great to work with and if I needed more work done I would definitely use him again! Thanks for being the BEST in town! If you need a dentist that is not pushing unnecessary services this is the place. They never ever push services!

Called this morning because I needed to establish care with a new dentist and they have good…read morereviews, people I know recommended them to me, their website says "Now accepting new patients." and they list all of the services one could need in a dentist. Seemed perfect. When the receptionist answered I could barely hear them and it sounded like they didn't know what they were supposed to say. New person maybe? So, I asked if there were any appointments I could schedule for the near future because I am looking for a new dentist and need to establish care. Another apprehensive response but this time it also sounded like I was being unreasonable, silly and presumptuous that they'd have availability. Then I wanted to make sure I heard properly and was disconnected. No formal goodbye or anything. I called back and this time just got a "hello" like they're answering their own personal phone. So I ask if it's Franklin Family Dentistry and they say yes and I suggest that they remove the accepting new patients verbiage from their site because that might be helpful to avoid people calling thinking they can get care established. The response was that they're not accepting new patients and I said I understood that, just offering some advice. Look, I don't know who's answering the phone these days, maybe they're new, maybe it was a bad morning, but it's not a good look and it isn't going to translate well to current patients nor new ones. My suggestion: Train reception and all staff within to respond with tact, positivity and compassion. Some professionalism in a healthcare setting. If they cannot, then maybe this isn't their jam. Have the website and socials reflect the current business goals and services. If you're not accepting new patients, none of your outlets should state you are until you are. Ignoring those two basic details will cost any business their longevity. People will just go where the business is providing the quality communication and services. Good luck and take care.

But he turned out to be this cute little funny doctor. He overexplains everything. Tells you everything he's doing every step of the way and sings to you. I was finagling appointments between the endodontist and dentist office. The dentist numbed me up for the endodontist office because my procedure at the dentist office made me slightly late for Dr. Chan. Dr. Chan was still overly concerned to make sure that I wouldn't experience any pain. This is an endodontist that thoroughly checks, rechecks, and rechecks again his work. It's too bad that I'm his first reviewer, but if it makes you feel any better I am an RN who has worked in over 60 hospitals across the USA. I know the good from the bad doctors. He must be a great endodontist anyway because he gave up a life in NYC to serve the people of the DMI, right?

I had a prior health condition that raised concern for surgery so he had me contact my primary doctor to schedule a pre-op to make sure I was good/safe for surgery. This all was a smooth process. Out of interest after reviewing other patient's reviews, I wanted to have Dr. Peters do the impacted teeth removal surgery. Nothing against Dr. Schwarzkopf as his biography seems very impressive. I just saw a really good shout out for Dr. Peters and took interest in her work. During my surgery day, the lady at the front desk was very kind and professional. The nurses were lovely and had a lot of patience. Dr. Peters approach was very professional. Definitely had her game face on and was ready to pull some teeth out. When I was woken up by one of the nurses, she helped me up and walked with me to the exit. Before I got into the car, my groggy but happy self couldn't help but give the super kind nurse a hug. They were a great team and that office only gave good vibes. The after care kit makes me feel spoiled as they provided a very good quality head wrap, vanilla mint lip balm(my favorite) and basic necessities for post impacted teeth removal surgery. They also provided papers with guidance for post surgery care. Loved the experience and would recommend to anyone!
