Reviews

"Our family of five has been with Dr. Yancho since we moved to the area approximately 25 years ago. Very detail oriented, great hygienists, office staff is on top of things too! This practice knows what they’re doing! State of the art equipment. Dr. Yancho #2 has joined the practice and has brought a fresh take on things. I recommend them without reservation. 😊"

"I appreciate Dr. Yancho, Sr.so much. I have a challenging mouth to work with and he has worked with my limitations and is so patient with me. After being with a dentist for over 30 years I was unsure how I could find another. Dr. Yancho and his staff were the right choice for me. Erin is one of the staff I appreciate very much. It’s always a relief to see her when she is the dental assistant for any of my procedures. Thank you for being so kind and patient with me on my dental visits. Vivien"

"I had a great experience at Yancho Family Dentistry. Everyone was welcoming and sincere. Rachel did a fantastic job getting thru a full series of x-rays. Dr Yancho spent plenty of time explaining treatment needs and options. I feel like I'm in great hands."
