I've been going to this office my entire life and their service doesn't ever stop amazing me! I had a tooth ailment that suddenly got worse and when I called with concerns about it, they squeezed me in within two hours of my call. Not to mention that once I arrived, I was in and out within twenty minutes. They didn't rush me, answered all of my questions, and had my Rx ready all in that time. Can't recommend enough.

After moving back home from living in a different state for the past 14 years, I of course needed to find a dentist to help me with a tooth that has been bothering me. I stumbled upon Mcllvaine dentistry during a Google search and after reading alot of the reviews I decided to make an appointment. I called and Katie was very helpful and got me a next day appointment, however the office was out of network for my insurance. I then contacted the insurance company to see if they would cover the appointment and happily they said yes! I'm glad I kept the appointment Dr. Mcclvaine is just the kind of guy I trust working with me. He had wonderful manners and listened very well and was very straight forward with what he could do to help my situation while completely understanding my concerns with coverage. Even though he may be out of network I don't mind paying just a little more for great service and honesty. I found my new dental care team!

From the minute I walk in until I leave I'm treated with kindness, friendliness, and professionalism all rolled into one fantastic experience. I absolutely cannot recommend them enough. 5 Update! I had another appointment on Friday (1/14) and as always it was a pleasure to see Dr. McIlvaine and Holly. I feel like I'm with friends every time I go in. Their professional care and warm personalities make every visit wonderful. Update! May 11, 2022 Another wonderful appointment with Dr. McIlvaine and Holly.
