Reviews

"Trina is a fairly new dental technican at Yancho Family Dentristry, I have been taken care of by Trina, who is very efficient and always explains what she is doing and why. Trina also demonstrates how to use dental products properly. I have been a regular (twice a year) customer for about 10 years because of the great care and friendly staff.You would be hard pressed to find a better dental operation."

"Dr Yancho is truly committed to the health of his patients! On my initial visit he spent an hour and a half with me checking on everything having to do with my teeth and consequently my health that no other dentist has ever even mentioned. Because of the thorough exam I received I am now aware of issues that can effect my long term health! Thank you Dr Yancho for your expertise and your friendly demeanor!"

"We were so very fortunate to find Dr. Yancho several years ago. We have always had great dentists until we moved up north. We had some bad experiences and luckily a friend recommended Dr. Yancho. His facility, his staff, his care is top notch. He sincerely cares about his patients and explains treatment options thoroughly. His son has now joined his practice and the same great care is administered by him as well! From our first visit to over 15 years later, we still highly recommend Dr. Yancho!"
