Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Office Staff
Dr Peoples is personable, and professional. Has a calming demeanor even while drilling in your mouth or injecting medication into your gums. I would love to refer persons to him, but a person on his staff has such bad people skills that she would, and has, run potential clients away!! Don’t understand why he keeps her. She seems to handle the influx of patients. When you call the office to voice a concern, she takes and turns it around and accuse you of 'getting nasty.' She then proceeds to hang up by telling you to have a nice day! At times, she can be ‘very nasty’ and really it could concern her in the least. Everything seems to provoke her when you may only be trying to get info!! This alone is making me look for another dentist although Dr. Peoples has been my dentist for over 20 years.

Exceptional Dr. Wonderful PATIENT staff
Through my co workers i learned of this Dentists. He came highly recommended. They did not tell a tale either. Respectful courteous and kind. He had to deliver some news that was hard to accept but he told me the truth and he knew it was hard for me. He spoke with me about treatments going forward and even showed me some of his work. No arrogance in this man but his work speaks for itself. His staff from the time I entered were beautiful in thleir attitudes. Courteousness and patient. Especially the young lady that took me back. I would not only recommend this office but I will be returning in a few weeks and this is now my go to office.

Dr. People’s is great. He has the worst office staff you could ever encounter. They are just unprofessional and ghetto at the same time. Rude. Will make a patient wait while they handle their bills over the phone. Dr. People’s would do better if he has nice staff that were professional and caring.
