Aren't positive reviews so much fun to write and to read?? We hope this one leaves you with a smile…read more...... My husband and I just moved to North Carolina from Maryland about six months ago. It's not always easy to find new providers. Reading online reviews. Checking recommendations on social media. And of course comparing each one to the list of providers on our insurance plan. This is how we found Seaside Family and Cosmetic Dentistry!! My husband's hygienist, Emily, gets rave reviews from him. He has stated repeatedly how thorough and gentle she is during his visits. My hygienist is Krista and she is just as fabulous too! Very friendly, gentle, and made sure that I completely understood everything she was doing and all that she had explained to me. The doctor, Dr. Francis, was very personable and again, just like her staff, easy to talk to and understand what we need to know about our dental health and maintaining it. Oh don't let me forget the front desk!! Even when I'm having a moment trying to understand the insurance, the ladies were so, so kind and patient! The entire staff carry a very positive vibe and genuinely like to work together!! That's a gift!! If you are looking for a dentist in the Surf City area, we found a practice that truly deserves a five star review and a sincere recommendation!! Call and make your appointment today with Seaside Family and Cosmetic Dentistry :)

I was very fortunate to find Pierpan Dentistry years ago, and have watched them grow into the state-of-the-art practice they are today! In my experience, when practices grows, they often loose the charm and personalization of a small practice, but this office transitioned seamlessly! The care you receive from Dr. Monica, and Dr. Henry is top notch, while making you feel like family and that your dental care is their only priority! The staff is very skilled at keeping your stress level down and your pain level non-existent. They all smile a lot and the office staff is very friendly. The office runs like a "well oiled machine"! The staff seem to be extremely happy working there, and most have worked there for years, which says a lot about how they are respected as employees. The office is spotless and comfortable, whether you are in the reception area or in the dental chair. The dentists, receptionists, hygienists and assistants are always very professional. In my opinion, this office is a 6 star practice!!!

They go above and beyond to make your experience so pleasant. The clinic is newer and so nice. Dr. Pierpan is extremely professional and also very personable. He truly took his time to talk with me and I really appreciated that. Lastly, I just worked with Erin from the clinic as she helped me send records to my new dentist as we have moved and she literally went above and beyond to help me finalize this record process. She was incredible! I'm just sad we've moved away from this place.

Had a back upper tooth that was in bad shape causing pain and ear aches. The staff was top notch and friendly. Dr Laura Bachara was very informative, friendly, and professional. She explained everything, didn't try to "sell" me other procedures. Dr. Bachara showed confidence in what she was doing and made me feel relaxed. Her assistant Susanne was great. A very important aspect of the visit was the Covid19 protocol. It was very good and I had no doubt at all they were serious about protecting me and themselves. The price was reasonable. She also called me at home later that evening to see how I was doing. I'm sure not many dentists would do that. I hope to never need a dentist again, but when I do it will be with Dr. Bachara.

From the moment I stepped into this office I felt so welcomed and calm.

The office was clean, cute, and the staff were kind and professional. I was also able to get an eligibility screening complete for overseas living (hello military) and overall I had a great experience! They also take my insurance, for anyone who's unsure (Concordia, TDP)! Highly recommend and will be back in 6 months!
