Spring Lake Dental Group David G. Dickerhoff, DDS & Associates, PA 103 Superior Drive, Spring Lake, NC 28390

"I took my family here because we had a few friends go with positive experiences. Nice front office staff. Cleanings were always pleasant. However, my son was having issues with his back tooth. Dr V (who used to be at this practice with Dr. D at the time), disagreed with Dr D's approach with my son. Ultimately, I went With Dr D's treatment plan which recommended saving the tooth instead of pulling it. It would also require a crown. Now, after three dentists have now confirmed the tooth should have been pulled and not saved (what Dr V recommended and challenged Dr D on) I regret following through with Dr D. Around the same time as my son's work, I was told at my appointment I needed a crown. The price tag was hefty and with six kids and a military budget - I held off until I could... When I went to my new dentist for cleanings I told them I was aware I needed a crown. After the check the dentist said I didn't need a crown. He asked why I thought that and I told him about Dr. D's treatment plan and what he felt was needed. He just shook his head... today I had three fillings done $72.... As I reflected back, I remembered the friends I did have that went there... had children that always had lots of dental work done. After the last three professional opinions ... I have come to the conclusion that there are Dentists who may be a little more honest with treatment options. Just because the office is nice, staff is sweet and things seem great... doesn't mean they have your best interest over their profit. If you choose to go here - always get a second or third opinion before ANY work is completed."

"I LOVE this place! I have been pleased from day one with Dr. D and his hygienist Shannon. We moved from NC to TX 3 years ago and when we come back, I make it a point to get my dental needs met. They are thorough, remember you even after being gone several years, are personable, and just down right friendly. I sure am sad I don't know when my next visit here will be. :-( Haven't had a better dental staff in all my adult years. HIGHLY recommend!"

"I've been a patient since 2006 and have had everything done there from a simple check-up to a dental surgery to get an implant. Dr. D is professional, quick, and does great work. He has a great personality, too. My entire family goes there and we couldn't be happier. The dental hygienist we see (Bonnie) is lovely and does great work. I see her exclusively and will continue to do so. The front office has had some turnover, but all ladies are friendly and helpful."

"The dentist and assistance are so nice. The experience was very pleasant. The dentist is very attentive and cares for his patients. Dr. Dickerhoff and his assistance have worked hard on making the atmosphere one of family like. There is not one time I have called and they hear my name and it's almost like to talking to a relative.There are no long wait times and appointment are scheduled mostly on the date and time you prefer (if possible). I wouldn't go anywhere else..."
