Dr. Hippenmeyer is great and I love how friendly the entire staff is. The scheduling options are incredibly convenient and they are always able to get me in quickly when I have a concern. I drive 40 minutes north to keep coming here because I like it that much -- and who doesn't love supporting women-run businesses? I definitely recommend this office for all your dental needs.

Such a great dentist! I haven't had a cleaning like this in years. Katie was so great, I am still as an adult scared of the dentist and she made me feel so comfortable the whole time. I didn't tear up once! My teeth not only look great but feel great as well. If you're in the market for a new dentist, I highly recommend them.

I had a crown done today and I was amazed at the results. I never felt discomfort, the entire procedure was orchestrated simultaneously with a filling and a cleaning and everything went like clockwork. Bedside manner was impeccable. The technology on-site is impressive. From the hi-res scan to the in-house milling of the crown. The professionals at Franklin Family Dentistry are wonderful. Thank you all for your hard work!

I have been a patient of Franklin Family Dentistry for over six years. For 35 years of my adult life, I was always hesitant about going to a dentist due to some bad experiences. That has changed since finding this dental practice and it's skilled and "patient first" staff. My dentist is Dr. Lori Shattuck who is very skilled and has a wonderful and caring personality. Their practice is up to date from a dental technology perspective. Their staff is very accommodating with scheduling and has experience in working with health insurance companies. The dentists and their team also support a culture of diversity and inclusion which is very important to me. I am writing this review today because I had an excellent experience today with my dental cleaning from a skilled hygienist. I do not do recommendations that often but I wanted to take a moment tonight to share my thoughts on Franklin Family Dentistry. This practice has truly changed my underlying dental care hesitancy that I had for 35 years before finding this practice and their dental staff team.

I just had an appointment with Franklin Family Dentistry. I have not seen such a friendly staff in my life. I had to take my son, and everyone I mean everyone was playing with him while I was getting ,y xrays done. My son later was screaming and crying and whole staff, I mean whole staff was trying to carry him and make him happy. Its so refreshing to see such a amazing group of women trying to empower me that its okay to bring your son, you are a mom. I feel like I not only got the best dental service but so much care. Its abosulety amazing.
