I always been afraid to visit any dentist so when I had to have a tooth removed I was afraid. It was suggested that I go to Dr Skoney so I did. This was during the Covid 19 crisis. Oct. 14 2020. He took my temperature before I entered the building. He walk me through the procedure, before he started the examination. I didn't even feel any pain when he pull the tooth. So I didn't hesitate to return to him when I had to have another tooth removed a couple of weeks ago. Dr James Skoney is the best. Sorry about the long post

He is the absolute best dentist. My family, along with my parents, travel from Port Huron because we appreciate his care that much!! I even went to his dad when I was a kid! If you are looking for a real family dentist that truly cares about his patients then you found it! I can't recommend Dr. Skoney more!!

I cannot begin to describe the difference Dr. Skoney has made in my dental experience. This man is soft spoken, caring and makes the visit to the dentist as pleasant as it could possibly be. His office is well run, his explanations of procedures excellent and without pressure and his respectful and gentle personality make him the top choice for our whole extended family.
