I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS OFFICE. I went there yesterday because I was due for a cleaning and having pain in my tooth. When I arrived the dentist wasn't even there. They had me switch rooms about 5 times. The dentist assistant did the "cleaning". Which wasn't even a cleaning she scraped the plaque off my teeth for not even 10 minutes. About 30 minutes after that the dentist came into the room didn't even introduce himself blew air in my one tooth took off my bib and walked out the room. Later they explained to me I have 2 cavities but they need to reschedule me by calling me. This was the worst office ever! They did absolutely nothing to my teeth but make the issues worse! And everyone was so disrespectful.

The friendliest office I have ever been to! I had a deep cleaning recently and Keely the dental hygienist was amazing! I hadn't had a cleaning in a couple of years and was very nervous- she was gentle, detail oriented and super friendly. Dr. Dan couldn't have been more personable! I will definitely be back!

Another excellent experience with Dr. Dan and his staff. I've been a patient of Dr. Dan for over 15 years. During that time, I've had several emergencies including breaking two teeth and popping a bonding off my front tooth right before going on vacation. In all cases, Dr. Dan got me in that day and took care of my needs. No one likes going to the dentist but Dr. Dan makes every effort to remove that anxiety we all have when getting into the chair. He and is staff are friendly, courteous and empathetic. Something rarely seen in the medical field these days. I would rate my experience 6 stars but 5 is the maximum allowable.

I will say the cleaning was one of the best i ever had but not a fan of the dentist or his staff. He actually made my tooth worse. I wasnt in pain until he decided to make a crack into a big hole which he put a covering on that lasted a day before that came off. The staff either doesn't answer their calls or tell you to call back because they dont want to do their job.

Dr. Dan is a wonderful ... dentist, naturally funny, cares about his patients, and and has a great staff too. He corrected work done by my previous dentist and did a great job. He's awesome actually and deserves 5 stars.

As a person with chronic dental issues coupled with a stereotypical dread of icy metal on nervous teeth, I am not a fan of dentists at all. That is until I sat in the chair at this office. Each visit, I am completely comfortable and confident. My dental issues require multiple visits, and every time I show up, I'm at ease, which is no small feat. His crew is so pleasant and incredibly diligent. And Dr. Dan is just an expert craftsman and one of the most personable Healthcare professionals I've ever met. He's genuine and I trust him. Nobody enjoys the shrieking whine of a drill in their mouth. It's hyper invasive and borderline unbearable. But, sometimes it's necessary, and somehow this guy makes it all okay and super easy to tolerate. My experience here is always worthy of 5 stars.

Dr Dan and his entire staff are top notch. They are professionals and maintain an open line of communication. All workers in the group make you feel welcome and at ease (and I am a dentist scaredy cat due to prior bad experiences). I highly recommend Dr Dan and his associates.

I visited Dr. Dan for a routine cleaning and was told I had 2 cavities on different sides of my mouth. I made two separate appts so that my entire mouth was not numbed in one go. Dr. Dan applied topical anesthesia and then proceeded to vanish for 30 minutes, after which time the anesthesia had begun to wear off! When he returned, unbeknownst to me, he put a filling containing mercury in. One week later, the filling began hurting when I was eating. Since I was out of town, I went to visit another dentist, who alerted me that Dr. Dan's filling (1) did not appropriately fit my mouth and (2) contained mercury. On top of that, the other dentist told me that the "cavity" on the other side of my mouth was not even a cavity! With that said, I caution everybody from visiting this practice and urge you to get a second opinion if you are told you need a filling. Beware.

I highly recommend Dr. Van Volkenburgh. Not only does he do great work, but he's super friendly and easy to talk to. I have had a long history of bad dental experiences, but now I can finally smile again. I recommended him to my family, and now, you

AMAZING! My regular dentist was not available for an emergency trip and my dental insurance company gave me this place as an option close to my home. From the second I walked in the door I felt like I had been a patient there for the past 10 years! And then it went UPHILL from there!!!!!! HIGHLY recommend this guy! Totally! If you're hesitating, DON'T! Would recommend him to anyone. This is a true and genuine review of being in this office less than two hours ago. Full service dental practice - fillings, crowns, extractions, root canals. No problem!
