My tooth was beginning to hurt. Another dentist told me it would be jan or Feb. They saw me immediately and were super nice. The cost was reasonable and the care above average. An investment in good medical and dental care has proven to be of core importance in my so far successful aging story. Second only to sincere happiness. Still working on that last one.

Visited this office for the first time and the staff were great. All were very informative and comforting. Explained x-rays and the reasoning for the treatment plan. Highly recommend this practice.

Dr. Flook and his staff are very accommodating. I have not only received notifications via phone calls but also mail in the form of postcards to remind me of upcoming appointments. His staff are kind, considerate, smile and greet my family whenever we visit. We enjoy each appointment knowing that not only will their service be top notch, but also be treated like a human being. I have visited other dental offices before... many receptionist do not even acknowledge the people in the waiting room (no, they were not on the phone when I came into the office). It seemed like it was a burden for them to be at work. All the staff and Dr. Flook have been extremely nice to me and my family... ALL the time!

Berwick Dental Arts is becoming very unprofessional. Berwick Dental Arts never sent me a notification letter that informed me that they are no longer accepting medical assistance. I found out that they are no longer accepting medical assistance when I called to make an emergency appointment for a broken tooth on Monday, November 12, 2018. Now I have to see another Dentist that accepts medical assistance. I don't recommend Berwick Dental Arts. Berwick Dental Arts used to be a good dental practice.

Dr Flook and his staff are amazing. They have been able to fix the mistakes and shoddy work from my former Danville Dentist if she should even be called that. He is amazing.

Dr. Ermish is an absolute saint and her staff are angels! She goes above and beyond for her patients and her staff follows suit! I'm so thankful for the day I chose to go to her as my dentist. I'd never go anywhere else!!

I took my 10 year old in to have her last baby tooth pulled. Up until this day the only thing she has seen a dentist for is to get her teeth cleaned. Dr.Flook was absolutely wonderful as well as his assistant! I couldn't have asked for a better experience and anyone with kids that need any kind of work done should see Dr.Flook!

My husband, sons and myself have been patients of Dr. Carlin for 24 years. I cannot express how wonderful this doctor and his staff are. We have had exceptional dental care all of these years through kids emergency dentistry from sports related accidents to my extensive dental care. I have had dental problems and the related anxiety since I was a child. Dr. Carlin has always been patient and kind...did I mention patient... We are so lucky to have this dentist and his staff in our little town.

Place sucks. I missed appointments due to having to work. So was told I can't return. I let it go a while and called to see if I could return still no luck. 0 stars in customer service.
