Dr. Yole comes to Havasu via everywhere. He has been from coast to coast and border to border. His family is originally from upstate New York, but they moved several times while he was growing up. This experience has helped him understand the many different people in this country and their different backgrounds. Just ask him. He will ramble on about a hot dog joint in Chicago, Voo Doo Donuts in Portland, the Rocky Mountains, sand dunes in California, and so much more.
After high school, Dr. Yole enlisted in the United States Navy where he worked on helicopters (the same ones at the end of the movie Apollo 13). It was then that Dr. Yole envisioned himself as a dentist. His skill in art, love of science, passion for helping others, and magical hands herded him into dentistry.
Once his career was over in the Navy, Dr. Yole got his Associates Degree in Dental Hygiene from Colorado Northwestern and relocated to the desert. While working as a dental hygienist, Dr. Yole attended Arizona State University (Go Sun Devils!!!) obtaining a degree in Applied Biological Sciences. Dental school in Portland Oregon was next. Spending four long years in the overcast rainy city brought Dr. Yole back to the desert to dry out. A few years were spent around Phoenix and Tucson, however Havasu was always calling him.
Dr. Yole has many interest and hobbies. His favorites are riding in the sand dunes, jet skiing, sports (football is his favorite), food (he loves to cook and eat if you could not notice), art (photography, jewelry, video, and drawing), and movies (he does not like horror so much, but has seen pretty much everything else).
When it comes to dentistry, Dr. Yole is skilled in many aspects: Dentures and Partial Dentures, Extractions, Crowns and Bridges, Restorations, Cosmetics (Veneers, Bonding, Whitening), Root Canal Therapy, Implant Restorations, Periodontal Cleanings, and Crown Lengthening.

I recommend Dr Yole highly! He and his staff are amazing! I have had a fear of the dentist for along time. I hadn't been to the dentist in 10+ years. Well that caught up to me in a bad way! I found Pleasant Valley Dental... THANKFULLY. I had deep cleanings and several cavity's removed. Not once did I feel pain. Dr Yole and all of his staff are amazing and very kind. I can't thank them enough for helping me and saving my teeth. All of his staff are excellent and I'm very thankful to have found them. BEST DENTIST IN HAVASU!

Been going to Pleasant Valley Dental for years now. Dr. Yole is a Navy veteran, very easy to talk to, and, most importantly, he's a great dentist. The whole staff treats you with kindness and patience. This is the dentist I would recommend in Lake Havasu City.

This was the most unprofessional dentistry place I have ever been to!! Took my husband to get 2 emergency extractions, one was so bad due to an infection that his other one had in it so bad, anyway they did their routine paperwork, sign your teeth away blah blah and numbed him up, waited for it to kick in and checked it, was told to raise left hand if he could feel it, so left hand came up. So they numbed it up a little bit more and again tested it. My hubby said he could still feel a little bit but dentist attempted to start taking out the tooth with the infection. He was making so much noise cuz it hurt so bad I almost cried because I know how painful it can be, but the dentist kept trying, he got the pliers things out and was yanking so my hubby kept making noise then next thing I know, the dentist said I already gave you enough numbing stuff and walked off, then his assistant came in to discharge us. He broke off a piece of his tooth and just freaking walked off because he got frustrated. UNBELIEVABLE! He was in so much and I was in shock after what just happened the assistant asked us if we needed a minute we said yes. Kept watching her peek in our room seeing if we were gonna leave. We finally were ready and she came in and just told us to go up front. So at this point he's in more pain, part of tooth broken even more and bleeding and they kicked us outta room, dentist hid until we left and we still had to pay. Will never ever go back to this place. That was just ridiculous.

Hello , Dr. Yole, and his staff has always been polite to my husband and myself. Joy has always greeted me in a courteous matter and is dressed admirable, she knows her dental insurance information and I find that comforting. I was in office a while back when someone was rude to Joy on the phone, she handled it in a professional manner and then that person put a review that did not put her in a good light. I wish persons wouldn't make accusation that are not true, for Joy, Dr Yoles Receptionist is one of the personable pleasant woman I have had the pleasure of knowing.

As a long time patient, I can assure you that you will receive top notch care from Dr. Yole. My hygienist is the best, very thorough & gentle and the staff work very well together. Joy is very experienced at the front & will help you however she can. I could not ask for more!

Receptionist is the most Vile person I have ever run into in 30 professional years. Had an appointment for two new crowns at 8:30. Doctor rolled into the parking lot at 8:29 watched him get out of his vehicle go in turn on lights and disappear into the back. No receptionist , no assistant at 8:30 check in, Unacceptable. I'll give my money to a dentist that respects my TIME. Dr. Yole is a nice pleasant dentist
