My appointment was great at Island Dentistry!. The front desk staff was courteous and friendly. My Hygienist Sara was competent and walked me through every step of my exam and x-rays, giving me frequent rests between steps and explaining what she was doing. The best Hygienist I have had in 72 years on the planet!

I don't normally give reviews but I feel it's important to give a review on this dental practice.. i had to change dentists because of insurance coverage. I went in for a simple 6 month cleaning and came out with a handful things that need to be done. When I questioned it I was told that I did not have a choice of what cleaning I wanted But was told I needed a more extensive cleaning. No cleaning was done on this appointment! I have always been to the dentist every 6 months and have never been told that I needed all this work. Find another dentist unless you want to hand over your wallet.

As always I had an excellent dental experience at Island Dentistry, Sara the hygienist cleaned my teeth and did a wonderful job as always, Dr Lenz did my exam, she was very pleasant, gentle and informative. I love that no matter what Dr. does your exam it's consistent and they all explain well the treatment you need with pictures and x-rays. My family and I have been a patients here for over 2 years and this dental office is the best I have ever experience. I defenetly recommend Dr Scales office and his staff.

In my mid 60's, had many dentists over the years. Island Dentistry is by far one of the Best of all time for me. The ease of getting an appointment as a new patient, awesome. Today I had my first appointment, and as they say first impression means a lot. Jada, excellent job. You are a True Professional ! Hyatt, Ashley, Brittany, great job. All competent, with positive attitudes. Shows that Island Dentistry must be a great place to work. DR. Douglas Scales. You are a very talented, professional, skilled dentist. It shows how your years of experience treating your patients has molded your craft razor sharp. I haven't experienced a dentist with your level of expertise, and caring. And on top of that you have a sense of humor, and a amiable personality. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND ISLAND DENTISTRY.

I had a crown placed on my implant today. Dr. Erminy has been incredibly patient, informative, and gentle throughout the whole process, and I'm so relieved to have my bite back to normal again. I can't thank him and the staff enough. The entire process from tooth removal, socket preservation, putting the post in and finally receiving the crown was painless and simple. Thanks again!!!
