Health Centered Dentistry

My family and I used to see another dentist here in town and became tired of their poor service. My wife found Health Centered Dentistry and I was skeptical, but I have to say a year and a half later, I’m a very satisfied customer. The office staff are very polite and respectful, the hygienists are very knowledgable and thorough with the cleanings and the dentist doesn’t recommend unnecessary work. I chipped a tooth last year and was just gonna deal with, but when I went in for a routine cleaning, the dentist smoothed it over since it was small and didn’t affect anything and didn’t even charge me for it.
Another big factor for me is whether or not my daughter is comfortable and she loves going to the dentist now. The staff is all very nice to her and enjoys chatting me with them, they also let her watch while her mother and I get our teeth cleaned and explain to her what they are doing and why. I give this place a big thumbs up!

Everyone here is wonderful. Dr. Marchant is amazing!!! All three of my kids like him!

I have been to 5 dentists in this town before I came to Health Centered Dentistry to see the amazing Dr. Mishler. I have very high standards.
Dr. Mishler did a crown and he exceeded my high standards.
My husband is afraid of dentists, but Dr. Mishler has a very calming presence (he is so good with children!!), my husband was able to relax while several of his Mercury filings were replaced in 1 visit. I wouldn’t go anywhere else.

We called ahead to see if we could use our insurance through them. They told us yes and in the end scheduled thousands of dollars worth of work. We asked what we’d be responsible for and were told 20%. In no where does it say on the written treatment plan they gad given us that this was an estimate.
Ultimately we were asked to pay 50% instead of 20%, and over $ 400 for jus the first 2 hours of work done exclusively by a dental hygienist and not a dentist (a deep cleaning). Thankfully we didn’t proceed with the rest of the work before finding this out.
They would not work with us on the fees when we had gone out of our way to call ahead of time to ensure we could be covered if we used them. Then they said that they were not contracted with ANY insurance company. They were deceptive about not telling us that when scheduling thousands of dollars worth of care, and telling us 80% coverage by instance is to be expected when they knew they weren’t contracted.
I was initially happy to have found a holistic dentist, but clearly they are more interested in making maximum dollars and not customer care. I have never had a negative experience with a dentist. Most are very forthright about their relationship with insurance in order to not surprise patients in the end.
We will be transferring care. Could I have called the insurance company myself to double check? Yes. But I had a newborn in my arms and asked them to call for me and at no point did they tell me they weren’t contacted with ANY insurance. The tricky verbiage they use is «we will bill your insurance» but they leave out that they aren’t contracted with them.
Sneaky. Not professional. Not trustworthy. Very disappointing.

I have intense ‘dentist anxiety’, and saw Dr. Mishler after checking out two other dentists in town. Their office décor was soothing and relaxing, and all of the staff members were extremely kind. I was even able to meet Dr. Mishler and get a tour of his office before deciding to become a patient. His calm demeanor was reassuring, and I would highly recommend his office to anyone. Their charges were comparable (and even lower in some cases) than the estimates given by the other dentists I met, and his office accepts Care Credit, which is a big help.
His office has state-​of-​the art equipment, and a level of technology I had not seen in the other offices I had looked into. There were many options regarding levels of sedation, and he listened carefully to my questions and concerns. His explanations were clear and thorough, and the root canal process with Dr. Mishler was honestly a better experience (and was less painful) than many of the basic fillings I have had in the past.
I can not say enough good things about this office, and truly feel in good hands with them. While I’ve only had work done by Dr. Mishler, I had the opportunity to meet some of the other dentists in that practice, and they certainly seem just as kind. He took the time to allay my fears and provided the level of explanation I wanted. I never felt like he was rushing, and I never felt that he was growing frustrated or impatient. He checked in with me on my anxiety level throughout the procedure, and it really was pain-​free. I am so grateful that I found such a good dentist!
