I hate going to the dentist. I always told my friends I would rather be in intense labor for an hour than sit in a dentist's chair. I had lots of work that needed to be done on my teeth and finally had insurance and the resources to fix my teeth. Personalized Dentistry of Lancaster accepted my insurance so I decided to go there. I had 6 appointments in two months with Dr. Ney and at each appointment I was treated with top-quality care. I even became friends with Dr. Ney and the office staff. Dr. Ney's hands are so gentle and it makes all the difference in how you feel during the procedure and afterward. Even the first shots that Dr. Ney gives to numb the tooth are injected in such a way that makes the shots bearable. (Dr. Ney said he learned this method from his father who was also a dentist.) Because my mouth is so tiny, dentists usually made cracks in my lips during their procedure, and I usually got a whole crop of cold sores from each crack. When I was with Dr. Ney, I never got any cracks or any cold sores afterward. To get all the work completed that was needed, I was referred out to an oral surgeon for two extractions and was abruptly reminded of how different other practitioners are in comparison to Dr. Ney. With the oral surgeon, the shot was quite painful, and I got lots of cracks in my lips and then had a crop of cold sores afterward. I would recommend everyone go to the Personalized Dentistry of Lancaster. Dr. Ney is more motivated by quality service than he is by making lots of money. In conversation with Dr. Ney, I found that he broke away from a practice that was practicing largely for the money to start his own business that focuses on people, relationships, and a job well done. Dr. Ney does that well and I hope that in the end, it serves him well just as it does his patients. One more thing, each evening after a procedure, I got a personal call from Dr. Ney to check in and see how my mouth was feeling.

Pretty cool place. My appointment was at 1 but they brought me back at like 12:45. Nurse that took my X rays was really nice and I ended up getting a good teeth cleaning. Surprisingly I'm doing a good job with brushing considering I'm an Ex smoker and I drink alot of sweet drinks. Always great to hear good news. I'm not complaining. The appointment took less than an hour.

Went to have a nerve issue looked at, was told I needed a round of antibiotics followed by a root canal. Took the first antibiotic and swelled up, and called the dentist to find out if that's normal (I've never taken this antibiotic before) and was told to give it 24 hours and continue taking. Called the next day and spoke to a nurse who confirmed I was having an allergic reaction and should stop taking the medication immediately. Was prescribed a new antibiotic, and was told they would reach out to schedule the root canal. Never heard from them again. Got the root canal somewhere else. Thoroughly didn't enjoy this dental experience at all.

I rarely post reviews, but want to give highest praise to Dr. Ney and the rest of his team. True professionalism. Clean. Patient focus. First I checked the practice out with a cleaning. Then after identifying that I needed a crown replacement, etc., I booked my 2nd appt. For this week. I cannot tell you how amazing Dr. Ney is with his skill and empathy (he even called me in the evening after my appt to check-up on me). Also, the technology in which he has invested into his practice is impressive and a time saver for patients, which I appreciate. He even has a 3D scanner (no more needing to have a bunch of stuff placed into your mouth to create impressions) for patients' teeth from which he can mill crowns, etc, right on his premises. Instead of having to wait 2 or more weeks like the last practice I went to, I had my new crown in place in under 2 hours. He also showed me some of his sterilization equipment which is integrated into each exam room--can you tell how impressed and pleased I am? Check Dr. Ney out. He and his staff will go the extra mile for you.

Fabulous. My son was having tooth pain and our dentist at the time couldn't help him. They told me to call around. Found Dr. Ney. They gave my son antibiotics and pain reliever till they could do the root canal. We have now switched over to Dr. Ney. The technology they have is amazing and the office is clean. All the staff I have met are friendly and helpful. They really care for you as a patient. Thank you Dr. Ney and staff.

Excellent in every way: clean rooms with modern equipment, prompt service, professional staff. Dr. Ney is extremely competent and a joy to interact with. Just got back from a same-day appointment where I was in and out with a solution within 15 minutes. So impressed with this place; highly recommended.

One of the best experiences I have had in years at a dentist office. I am always nervous walking in to new places as it is and the staff was very welcoming and kind. Dr. Ney not only showed me through a camera scope what some of the issues were that were bothering me, he also did not make me feel like I was pestering him when I asked him questions he explained every step and gave solutions for things that were able to fixed. He took his time and was very thorough with my cleaning. I also want to include that the staff was busy tending to another patient and instead of Dr. Ney telling me to wait until she was available to make another appointment for me, he took the time to make the appointment for me which to me was pretty awesome you don't always see doctors step in and assist office staff. I 100% recommend Personalized Dentistry of lancaster to anyone that will listen lol.

Best dentist I have been to in seven decades! Super nice staff, awesome Dr. Ney,extremely clean office, good parking area, and the latest technology is evident. They worked me in same day with my second toothache ever,and no pain by the next day! I even got caught up with a dental cleaning! I feel so extremely fortunate as I have just moved to PA and had not yet established health and dental care here.So lucky to have found the best!

I am BEYOND impressed with the treatment I received at my first visit! I had not been to the dentist in years, and needless to say I was very nervous because I knew my mouth was going to need some extra attention. Dr. Ney was SO GENTLE and PATIENT with me! And his wife provided such great costumer service from the moment I called in to make an appointment! I would recommend this practice to anyone!

Going to the dentist is always such a horrible experience for me. It's super hard for me to find someone nice, accommodating, and with a wonderful atmosphere. This place met everything I wanted. They took me in at a short notice and they were super helpful and nice. Definitely making this my permanent dentist.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND As an individual who has had problems with my teeth for many years and a fear of the dentist more than God, I was very pleased with my visit today. Dr. Ney was thorough, and supportive. He has a very gentle approach and touch which is important to me. Being employed in the service industry for over 40 years, it is very comforting to find a professional who cares about you and how you are treated. His office was very impressive. It is obvious that he has committed to excellence in his practice with all new technology and equipment. I recommend him with ten stars! I found a new dentist and am excited. BRAVO

Not your typical dental experience!! From the moment you walk in the front door, you feel at ease in PDOL's bright and very nicely decorated lobby/waiting area. Does not feel at all like you're in a dental office. When you're taken back to the dental cleaning/exam room, you'll notice right away it is 100% state of the art. Dr. Ney is extremely professional and does a great job making you feel comfortable and relaxed and explains anything that needs to be explained and answers any and all questions you might have. The name, Personalized Dentistry of Lancaster, fits the experience. I will recommend this dental practice to all of my friends and family. TOP NOTCH!!!

I hadn't been to the dentist before yesterday in almost a decade and I already have a follow up appointment set up so that's about as good as you can get. Fantastic people and extremely clean space inside.

This is the easiest 5-star rating I'll ever give a business. And it's also the most deserving. I was looking for a new dentist a while back as my new dental provider had limited offices that accepted my insurance. That was a blessing in disguise. PDOL pride themselves on being personal and honest. The lobby and offices are spotless everytime I visit. Dr. Ney is thoughtful in his approach explaining everything in your x-rays on your first visit. I was so pleased with the experience I got over the dread of going for a cleanup. I actually enjoy them and can't wait for my next one. I've recommended family members and coworkers to visit Dr. Ney. After their first visit, they're so ecstatic about the experience they can't stop raving. Granted, the people I've recommended are particular with dentists so they won't go to just anyone. If that (along with all the other 5 star reviews) isn't enough to visit the best dental office in Lancaster, I don't know what is.

Office staff is nothing less than great, professional yet REAL and personable. Dr. Ney, although slightly unconventional in his appearance, is the epitome of a caring, professional and knowledgeable dentist. Searched for his relatively new practice out based on getting to know him through a prior practice that he worked for solely based on his care and personality. I would HIGHLY recommend Personalized Dentistry of Lancaster and Dr. Ney to anyone AND everyone!
