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.

Cleaning Visit
As usual my visit went well. He's the best dentist I've ever had. I went in for a cleaning and his dental hygienist did a great job. It's always a pleasure. The entire staff is always friendly and helpful.

Excellent dentist
As a new patient, I was scheduled quickly for a bond repair. Dr. Pugh went above and beyond to communicate what he was doing and why and to answer my questions. He was careful to make sure I was pain free during the procedure. The new bond doesn't look like a patch on my tooth. It looks like my tooth! How nice. Now he'll have to fix all the others. After a recent bad experience at another dental office, I'm relieved and glad to have found Dr. Pugh.

'Artistic Dentistry' reputation is well earned
Ever experience that sinking feeling of realizing you just chipped a front tooth while biting into food, and then worrying: How long it will take to get an appointment to fix it? Is the repair going to look okay? Will the fixed tooth have rough patches and seams that irritate my tongue?Let not your heart be troubled: Call Dr Pugh's office!The courteous & professional staff answered my call immediately and offered to book a repair in tandem with a cleaning appointment that was (Providentially) already on schedule three days following the chipping incident. After a proper cleaning, Dr Pugh quickly and calmly restored my top front tooth with such precision and artistry that one cannot see any of the previous damage. The rather prominent patchwork is perfectly matched to the color of the original tooth and flawlessly sculpted with a masterful hand. The office reputation for 'artistic dentistry' is absolutely well earned. Michael Pugh DMD far exceeded my expectations.

Excellent visit as always
This was just a scheduled visit for cleanings & x-rays for me and checkup for hubby. Staff is fantastic, efficient, and caring. Dr. Pugh has taken care of our family since he joined this office and became primary dentist and provided excellent care. He is our family dentist and we have no plans to change even though it is now over an hour's drive since we moved. It has been great watching all the growth and improvements in technology he offers in is practice, while providing excellent technical and office staff.And, he is a great guy!

Root Canal recommendation
I was seen the day after I called complaining of pain in a tooth. An x-ray confirmed the need for a root canal. Dr Pugh’s clinic set me up with a provider in Birmingham that accepted my insurance. His staff provided me all the assistance I needed to recommend what turned out to an excellent endodinics clinic that met my schedule and financial needs. Long time patient of more than 10 years.

Highly Recommend!
First visit and it was wonderful!!! Haley, at the front desk, is an absolute delight, took time to explain my insurance and cost for a future procedure. She went above and beyond my expectations. Caroline is an excellent hygienist. I hate having my teeth cleaned, however, with her gentle technique, it was the most pleasant experience that I've ever had. She made sure I was comfortable the entire time. Dr. Pugh is very personable and thanked me for becoming his patient. He took time to explain everything and made me feel like I was his #1 priority during my visit. The whole experience was nothing short of wonderful, the staff is so friendly and professional. Highly recommend!!!
