John Dewinkler, DDS

Friendly staff (now that a certain hygienist has retired). Unfortunately, they are focused on money instead of patient care.
In the past I have recommended others to this office, but will not going forward. I have experienced stories like in other reviews (trying to get people to buy night guards and other expensive services) and have now given up on this office.
I was a 10+ year patient, and when going through some hard times I asked if they could do any discount on a visit and the answer was a clear NO. Keep in mind that I had paid 100% of their already high prices for over half of that time, since they didn’t take my insurance AND I came more than twice a year (on their recommendation). Sorry to say that nice service isn’t all I want from a HEALTH CARE PROVIDER.
Also, the dentist himself is chatty during the exam and it seems like at the steep prices he could talk a little bit more about your health.

I’ve been happy with their dental services and professionalism. But… if you’re out of network — MAKE SURE they do a pre-​determination. Based on some communications with the admin staff, I was led to believe a pre-​determination had been done for a procedure. It had not, and — following repeated denials by the provider (due to their assessment that the procedure was not needed)… I was left with a $ 1200 out-​of-​pocket expense.

I’m so surprised to see the positive reviews of Dewinkler. I love him to death — but they sold both my daughter and me that we needed a mouthguard because we were grinding our teeth. Each of us had a specialist who told us it just wasn’t true and whoever told us that was just draining our pocketbook.

Great dentist and staff! They have helped keep me cavity free for the past 11 years. His wife his also his partner there. She’s very thorough and friendly, too.

I’ve gone to Dr. Dewinkler twice. I was very happy with my experience there. Dr. Dewinkler is a very laidback, friendly dentist who does a good job. Also, he made sure I was comfortable and all numbed up.
