Shively H Martin DDS

Crooked dentist in three distinct ways:
1. As a cash paying customer, they always quoted me one price on a service and then when I had the service a week or two later, they had jacked up the price. I was dumb not to get it in writing because I expected them to be honorable with their word. I would just write the «quoted» price on a sheet of paper at the time of the visit, but that holds no water with them. Perhaps now they give victims, I mean clients, a quote in writing but they did not do so when I was a patient.
2. When I had crowns done by this dentist, he put them on crooked and they «failed» (the final crown). The temporary crowns fell off while waiting for the final crowns. He is impatient and stand-​offish while he works.
3. When I had my teeth cleaned, the hygenist said «oh the doctor will look at you now.» Who asked for him? Not me! But he glanced for less than 5 seconds (no exaggeration!) and the frumpy brown-​haired woman in the front office then charged me for a full dentist examination.
I had enough of their ways and just moved on to another dentist. When I established with a new dentist, he claimed that Shively had done «horrible work». I didn’t need him to make any comment about Shively because I had the sense to dump him myself.
If you have insurance, you will probably get through okay but if you are cash pay, expect to be fleeced.

We have been going to Dr. Shively for many years. We love him and we love his office staff. Everyone is always very nice and friendly. Our two youngest kids (adults now) went to him. They came from a dentist that scared the daylights out of them. Dr. Shively was patient and understanding, and eventually helped them get over their fear of the dentist. I thank him for that. I would HIGHLY recommend Dr. Shively to anyone!

Dr Shively has been my dentist my whole life, besides when I went away to college, when I experienced a range of dentists in a different town. My experiences were not unpleasant, per say, but I’m very pleased to have him back as my dentist.
Dr Shively is the best! He is always careful and gentle and wants his patients to have a pleasant, comfortable experience. All of the staff are great, and very friendly. I never want to have another dentist again.

My new dentist and I’m so glad I finally found Dr. Shively’s office. This is a state of the art office with all the newest equipment. Dr. Shively is such a nice and caring dentist and I am very pleased with the work he did on my teeth. I recommend Dr. Shively very highly. The office atmosphere is happy and upbeat with lots of laughter. Laughter always relaxes me so that is a really good thing.

Wow! I didn’t realize there was a Unilocal for dentists. Dr Shively is a very competent dentist. He is also a very nice individual. I cannot say enough positive things about this man and his skill. I’ve had extensive dental procedures, and experienced some really good dentists in the past, but Dr Shively is the best.

i have neve liked a doctor or dentist more. i always feel like i’m really being taken care of like i’m one of his family. sometimes i’ve gone in and he didn’t charge me cause it was so easy to take care of.
