Long time customer and wouldn't change them for the world. Amy and Dr.Pohl do a great job and the office staff are super friendly and efficient. Recently had an emergency when my better half lost a tooth. Temporary installed and perfectly matched replacement all done in time to meet a travel deadline. A plus!

Quite simply, he's the best dentist. And his prices are in line...I dont have dental insurance so this is a consideration. Also, I've been having my teeth cleaned there for years and years...Amy is the best technician!

Dr. Pohl is the most talented, knowledgeable, and kind dentist I have ever known, and I've had a lot of dental work done all over the country. Dr. Pohl and his team are by far the best. The new dental assistant is incredibly sweet and clearly cares very much about her work and her patients. It's wonderful to feel secure knowing your mouth is in good hands. I could not recommend Dr. Pohl more.

He simply does great work! ...And he is easy to talk to about expectations and the process of care. I first went to Dr. Pohl when I was looking for a "different/bette" answer to an over calcification of my daughters front teeth when she was 13 years old. He had an answer that no other dentists in the area had. He made a promise about the process and how long the "repair"would last and his promise has exceeded my expectations.

So far I've had only a consultation with Dr. Pohl who was amazing - super attentive and warm in his approach. I feel very comfortable having him do (what I would consider) significant cosmetic dental work for me. He was excellent on first contact
