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.
Dr. Lester Appell and his staff are friendly, efficient and well organized. I feel so comfortable when I go for my cleaning visits. They only do what is needed. The facility is sparkling clean. It is clear they are there for their patients.

If you are looking for a dental practice, stop your research right now, this is a fantastic practice! From the start of my appointment with the front office personnel, to the dental assistants, to the dentist my treatment was just "over the top". The front office was very attentive to my needs and schedule and did their best to accommodate me. The dental assistants were knowledgeable, kind and comforting. I saw Dr Lester and Dr Joel and they were experienced, compassionate, gentle and painless. I love that they consult with each other to formulate a treatment plan. The space is beautiful and treatment is professional. If I could give then a higher rating than 5 stars I would have. Thanks Appell Dental Group for great care!

Dr Lester is the best! He is professional and an expert at dentistry. He is on the cutting edge of new technology and techniques. I have been going to Dr Lester for decades and my whole family goes to him. I wouldn’t trust anyone else but Dr Lester and the other doctors at Appell for dentistry. My family and I have all had excellent results. Dr Lester & his staff are very patient & kind as sometimes I have a little anxiety when having dental procedures.

Dr Lester pulled two teeth on my 12 year old. He came out beforehand to talk to my son and explain exactly what he would be doing and asked if he had any questions. He was kind and compassionate. Highly recommend this practice all the Dr.’s are very nice as well as the office staff.

I’ve known & have been going to Dr. Lester nearly 40 yrs. Some people say that’s why you’d give an excellent rating because you feel you have to. Truth is I’ve never had reason to change. Dr. Lester and his team are compassionate, friendly & professional. I’ve had various procedures & continued preventive dental care that makes me comfortable and confident. I have followed this family in all their moves and it’s because they remain one of the true family businesses who truly care about people.

Dr. Lester has been my dentist for well over 20 years. He makes me feel like I'm his most important patient or an old friend. It's apparent that he loves what he does, and he's really good at it. I also like the fact that his brothers specialize in other dental areas. I didn't need to find a different dental office for a root canal. That was convenient.
