I'm not going to lie, I've always dreaded going to the dentist and moving from Ankeny to Urbandale…read moreI put off finding one local but I am so glad I stumbled upon Dr. McDonald's practice! The location is convenient and in between work and home so I drove by at least twice a day and decided to look into them. It's located in a business strip and has it's own parking lot. When I walk in, Monica has always greeted me warmly. She is one of the office assistants and she was so incredibly helpful and friendly. I was trying to get my records switched over and Monica offered to take care of it. There were issues where my former dentist office LOST my records but Monica helped me sort out what to do and called my insurance company to make sure I was covered and good to go. I so appreciated everything she did because she could have left it to me but actually wanted to help. Lori was my dental hygienist and I swear she is the best! It was my first cleaning ever that did not hurt at all! She's very gentle and provides caring advice on how to keep up with my dental hygiene with no judgment (yes, I really should floss more!). Dr. McDonald is also great. He gave me options of what I could do for some of my dental concerns and answered all my questions. You could tell he really cares and takes pride in his work. Never pressured me into choosing any services either. My husband who has really sensitive teeth and gums said that it was pretty much pain free for him too and a lot better than other places he's been. He also agreed that Dr. McDonald was really informative about his options and no pressure to get work done. I could seriously go on and on but I won't. Just want to say I highly recommend anyone looking for a dentist in the DSM area to consider McDonald Family Dentistry for their staff and the care they give their patients. Such a great practice overall!

I HATED going to the dentist. Because of that fear, didn't go for 3-4 years. Luckily I didn't…read morehave any major problems, but the work that I did have done was all thumbs up.

I had a very frustrating experience with my orthodontic treatment here. I paid in full for an…read moreunlimited Invisalign-style plan, but my case was later closed without my knowledge. I was told at my last visit to finish my current trays and that they would order more or remove the attachments afterward. Now I am being told I must pay additional fees just to have the orthodontic attachments removed and to receive retainers, which I believed were included in my original treatment plan. After being in trays for several years and going through multiple refinements, this has been extremely disappointing and stressful. Communication has been poor, and I do not feel my treatment was handled professionally or with clear expectations. I would encourage others to get everything in writing and ask detailed questions about what happens at the end of treatment.

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).

I haven't had a single issue with it and it literally feels like a real tooth. My cleaning was by far the best I've ever had too! They use an ultrasonic cleaning method that did an amazing job! You don't know clean until you have this done here. I'm still so happy with Hove that I bumped my original rating from 4 stars up to 5 stars! I can actually say I don't mind going to see the dentist now. :-) I just moved to Iowa and needed a dentist ASAP! I had a broken tooth that required a temp repair until I can get a crown. I saw a positive review about Hove and decided to give it a try. They got me in within 2 days to patch my tooth, which was adequate timing given my situation. I definitely didn't need a same-day appointment. Upon arrival this morning, I was greeted professionally and kindly, and everything was explained clearly to me across the board. I never felt rushed or like I was inconveniencing anyone with my questions, and all of the staff happily answered any questions I had. I gave 4 stars for now since I only had one procedure done today. I'll post an update and hopefully bump it to 5 stars after I have my crown work done. So far I definitely recommend Hove if you're looking for dental care!! Another plus is the location is easy to find, new, clean, and has modern equipment!
