Dr. Thompson is the best! I have seen MANY dentists and have dreaded going to the dentist ....but Dr. Thompson has kept his promise to never let me feel pain...my recent crown & bridge construction was pain free and beautifully finished! He and his staff are extremely competent and caring. I highly recommend them. Thought I had posted above...AND, Yesterday, 7/6, i called because of extreme pain in my gum... though they were supposed to be closed Dr.Thompson & Kylie confirmed an abscesses tooth and Dr Thompson did a root canal on the spot! No more pain! Thanks Dr. Thompson !!!! Bad news! I had an abscessed tooth at my 6 month exam yesterday... Good news!! Dr. Michael Starbody pulled that tooth today , and he gets 5 stars! Like Dr. Thompson, he promised not to hurt me .., and it was painless!!! Thank you, Dr. Starbody!

I highly recommend Dr. Thompson and his staff for all your dental needs. They are all helpful, friendly and do everything possible to make you feel comfortable. I had not been to the dentist in several years, and they did a wonderful job at getting me current on all my dental needs. The price was reasonable, and the service was excellent! Thank you Dr. Thompson and Staff!!

I wrote a review (in another forum) of Dr. Thompson a few years ago after returning to him after many years away. I encourage readers to browse through all the 5-star reviews on your time travel back through the posts in this forum. There is a very good reason for all the 5-star reviews you'll find--because they don't offer 10-star ratings through this forum.

I had to reschedule an appointment due to the death of my pet. My rescheduled appointment was today. Everyone in the office offered their condolences and were very compassionate. During my visit Dr. Starbody offered some suggestions about my dental care which I greatly appreciated. As I left his office he gave me a beautiful floral arrangement they had in their office. I was so blessed.

Really amazing experience! Kaley was my hygienist - she was extremely sweet, explained things well and was great to talk to. Dr Michael Starbody was also very professional and friendly! He really knows his stuff and I felt comfortable the entire time. I am so happy I chose this office after not being very proactive about my dental health the last couple of years. They are fantastic and I will recommend to anyone in town needing a dentist!

From start to finish Dr. Starbody, Mr. And Mrs. Have been phenomenal. My husband is more than a nervous patient so finding the right staff to accommodate his dental fears was very important to us. Our first time in, they greeted us by name. They took time with us to answer questions, returned phone calls, and eased our nerves as my husband approached his surgery. We could not have asked for a better team of doctors, nurses, and staff. 10/10 recommend. Our experience with this office changed our lives and the course of not only our future but also our children's, by having their father have a healthy mouth. Thank you isn't enough.
