He has lectured locally and has published nationally.

Currently, we provide a substantial annual donation to veterans support groups and support the Marine corpsToys for TotsChristmas program.

Dr.Ransdell and staff are great! I avoided dentist for a while especially after a couple bad experiences, but needed some work done and was relocating to the Spencer county area so I started to research. I gave it a shot after reading all the 5 star reviews and let me say it's no fluke. Where else do you find a dentist that calls after hours to make sure what was done is ok and there are no issues?! You just don't see it these days. I have been in this dental office for multiple things as of late and I would not hesitate to recommend to anyone!

Ransdell's dentist office is filled with friendly staff. They make you feel like part of the family and make your dentist experience pleasant. Dr Ransdell explains everything so you can understand easily. Diane was the best hygienist I have ever had. I highly recommend this dentist office to. I found my new dentist.

Where do I start. I have been a patient of Dr. Ransdell's for 17 to 18 yrs. Consistently Randy and his staff are over the top friendly, professional and caring. His knowledge, experience and expertise is second to none. I'd give him more stars if I could. And no I'm not getting paid or free work done, it's just a fact. It is your choice but in my opinion you're crazy if you don't at least give them a try. By the way I never give reviews.

Five out of five stars. Dr Ransdell and his staff are professional and personable. They take the time to inform you about what they're doing and why they're doing it. And, they give you tips to help with preventative maintenance. I live in the country and their Taylorsville office is conveniently located. I would recommend Dr Ransdell to everyone.

I recently moved to Kentucky and had a great dentist for the last 30+ years. was given a referral for Dr. Ransdell through a family member. I was very impressed with my fist visit and evaluation. Dr. Ransdell was very pleasant to talk to extremely thorough with his exam. His entire staff was very nice and easy to talk with. Actually enjoyed the visit. Who will tell you that about a dental visit? I had a follow up visit for needed dental repairs. Again he explained what he was doing so therefore there no surprises. I felt that he was gentle surely plane to continue using his services as my primary dental care practitioner .

Dr. J Ransdell took care of my emergency situation last March 25, 2019. He has a big heart and very kind. I like to give my thank you and appreciation to Julie for accommodating my request to squeeze me to Dr. Ransdell's schedule that day.
