Dr. Echelberger and his staff are great! They're professional, friendly, and take care of all of my dental needs. They do my bi-annual cleanings and they also did MTM aligners for straightening my teeth. My family and I have been coming there for 10+ years now. I know they can help with any of our dental needs and it's a great resource. Highly recommend!

The staff was ok....The dentist himself was horrible and not at all informative. He was very cold and almost unwilling. I had crowns done and my teeth and nerves hurt for months! I had to go to another dentist to complete what he was suppose to finish but the service was so horrible. I wouldn't recommend a turtle to this dentist!
