I am a grown adult BABY when it comes to seeing the dentist, which is why I only see them when I unfortunately have an issue. LET ME SAY THAT HAS NOW CHANGED! Thanks to Dr. Selcher and his staff, I will be slowly growing up as a dental patient and will start seeing him more often for cleanings and not just when I have an issue. Today, he took care of 1 major issue I was having and he was so patient with me, so gentle and his voice was so very calming. I left his office feeling so much better at facing my fear of the dentist. If you are someone like me, TERRIFIED of seeing a dentist, please try Dr. Selcher and his staff out. You will NOT be sorry at all!

I started going to Selcher Dental about 45 or more years ago because Dr Selcher told me I wasn't there to show how much pain I can endure and gave me novacane shots and nitrous oxide and ever since my experiences were tolerable versus the pain my former dentist made me endure. Thank you Sam for being my caring dentist!

Dr. Selcher has been my dentist for 37 years. I have always received the best of care and amazing service. I had broken a tooth. Half of it was gone, I thought I was going to loose the tooth. Dr. Selcher saved it. I trust him wholeheartedly. All of the staff are always so helpful and friendly.

I have been going to Dr. Selcher for many years. He is the best in the business. I now live in Fort Myers Florida & still come back to Middletown, PA for my dentist appointments. I will continue to go to him until he retires. His staff is also the best around.

It has always been my pleasure to support local businesses. For the last 40+ years, I have been a patient of Dr. Selcher and have very much appreciated his loyalty to and involvement with our Lower Swatara community. His genial nature and straight-forward manner are refreshing in the exam room, and Dr. Selcher's staff mirrors his professional, knowledgeable manner. Finally, I have come to rely on Dr. Selcher to keep current on dental products and procedures, and my confidence has never been eroded.
