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.
People ask me why I travel over an hour for dental care. First of all, Dr. Short is proficient in his communication, treatments and procedures. His office is run with customer service as a priority. His staff are friendly, happy and professional. Above all, I feel safe because of all of the COVID precautions being observed there.

Visiting Dr. Short's office for a dental check-up or treatment has always been very easy for me because he and his staff are very professional, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable of the latest dental technology. He's been my dentist for more than 30 years and his wonderful approach and care has always been the same. He's the one reason why I've never have dental problems as he's always taught me about preventive maintenance over the years. If you're looking for a excellent dentist, try him...I'm sure you'll like him.

Dr. Short is terrific. He spent so much time devoted to my initial visit, answered a thousand questions, and did it with patience, earnest concern and care, and with a kind and affable manner. He has a holistic approach which was very helpful to me since I take medications for health reasons not related to dentistry. I left enlightened as to how these other conditions may effect my overall dental health.
