I was at Dr. Spiral's office this morning for a cleaning. Excellent experience. I was taken on time. The Hygenist was pleasant and thorough. Safety precautions were taken. When I was finished Dr. Spivak came in to do a complete check. Examine the X-rays that were taken. Gave me a "good to go." I have been going here for many years and would recommend this practice to anyone.

I've been a patient of Dr. Spivak's for almost 30 years. He has always been and continues to be very knowledgeable in his field. He takes the time to answer questions and his work is fantastic. The office staff is always friendly and helpful. I have since moved out of state but will continue to make the drive instead of switching dentists.

I had my first visit at Carlisle Dentistry and was very pleased. The staff is very professional and interested in my care. Ashley was the hygienist and she did a wonderful job! She explained every step and was genuinely interested in my understanding what she was doing. Dr. Spivak spent time explaining what needed to be done and how every patient is different. He is very attentive to the individual. I am very happy to have found this practice.

I've been a patient of Dr. Spivak's office for a little over a year and I am very pleased with my experiences there. Ashley, the tech who saw me today, was informative, kind and did a great job checking out my teeth. Dr Spivak also saw me and gave me some suggestions on how to take care of my teeth. Overall very happy with my dentist and would highly recommend.
