Technical care was good as always. However, the practice dropped out of our insurance network and no one bothered to tell us (apparently that is acceptable in this state) & we incurred a bill for "out of network" service. While that may be allowed, it is not transparent business practice. We would have appreciated being informed BEFORE any work was done & be able to know up front what our cost would be. Not patient oriented business practices!

I've been coming to Cherokee Family Dental for years and always had a great experience. Everyone treats you like their very favorite patient. Dr. Peterman removed a difficult tooth for me today and even though the lidocaine has worn off, I feel fine! Thank you all for taking such good care of this almost 80 year old!

This was my first time there. I am a complete baby when it comes o dentists. Everybody was very friendly and helpful. If you have to go to the dentist, I don't see how you could do any better than to make this office your dental home.
