I was a patient for 2 years at this office-but never again. In need of a root canal and crown, Amy talked me into a CEREC filling as opposed to the more typical cast ceramic one.
Most dentists don't use this process for a reason-it doesn't work. 1 year later and this wonder filling has fallen out, and the tooth below is too decayed to save.
the reason? Molars need full cap support (look it up)
CEREC inserts are NOT advised for molars. She assured me it was fine, and even when I noticed separation of the filling from the tooth below (on a later visit), she told me this was normal (it is not-this was a lie).
The cost? $1200+, 3 proceedures, missed work, and pain. And now I have to have the tooth extracted because it is too decayed to save (decay hidden beneath this shoddy filling).
I am also not happy with the attitude displayed by the secretaries towards me when I have expressed concern with the increase in her fees (15% increase for no reason).
This office was great for run of the mill cleanings, etc. they also have a nice waiting room. If any real work is needed-go somewhere professional.

My family has been seeing Amy Guthrie for more than 12 years. I would never consider seeing anyone other than Amy. She has taken care of my wife, myself and my two children and always been a pleasure to see. That really says something, How many people want to go see their dentist?!
