I'm at an age where I can tell you that I have seen many different dentists over the years so when I say that this the friendliest one I have ever gone to, you will know that means something. Next I must say they their hygienists do a thorough job. I don't know how many they have but the two that worked on my teeth did a good job (thanks Liz - hope your husband got his deer today). Next, Dr. Peters is very thorough also and isn't one to change something if it isn't necessary. Lastly, the waiting room is spacious and pleasant. You open the door and check in is obvious with very personable receptionists. Further, it is laid out so you can see the entrance to the dental area from any seat. I had changed to this dental office due to a change in insurance but, honestly, I would be hard pressed to go elsewhere now even with an insurance change.

Dr Mark is a real G - had an extraction with him and he hooked up that special care. Cracked a few jokes, quick with the extraction, even went to lunch with me after while I ate some soup. What dentist does that? A dentist who cares, that's who. Wish Google had 10 stars for this special practice.

Always a good experience. from the receptionists to the Dental Hygienists to the remarkable Dentists. I usually see Dr. Mark and he is very thorough and informative. I am normally quite nervous at the dentist but he takes my worries away after seeing him.

I've been to 3-4 dentists in the last six months. They didn't figure out my issue and lacked confidence in their diagnosis. My visit here was refreshing as the dentist figured it out and was confident and knowledgeable! Very thankful!

Love this dental office! It was my first time here. They were very friendly, efficient, thorough. Loved that the hygienist, Julie, was thorough and gentle and very nice. Dr. Peters was also very nice, thorough, asked if I had any worries about my teeth since due to COVID it had been awhile! I then went to the scheduling office where they set up my future appointments. Definitely recommend Elk Dental!
