Reviews

"I am 73 years old. I have never had such a complete, thorough exam as I had today with Dr. Joe Yancho. His communication skills were simply outstanding: natural and genuine and he explained what he was doing and why. He took his time and got to know me in this initial visit. His hygienist, Sarah, was also outstanding: personable, explaining what she was doing, and also spoke with sincere pride about being a member of this dental practice. She's been practicing at Yancho for a long time and she said many of the staff drive an hour to work there. The receptionist offered a warm welcome and Keelin, the check-out team member was warm, kind and offered the next steps to me in a complete and clear way.If you're looking for an honest and thoughtful dentist and team as well as state of the art training and skills, give them a call. Now. Just terrific people and dental practice! The best! And, that's saying something for a 73 year old, right?"

"Best experience I have ever had at the Dentist office. The office staff is always super friendly and the smiles are just as big coming in and they are when I’m checking out. My hygienist was very professional and very efficient with her time.Doctor Yancho “Joe” is a chip off of the old block and is a bright light/star like his father and is going to continue the Yancho family dentistry for years."
