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.

You won’t find a better dentist
You literally will never find a better pediatric dentist than Dr Hersey. Not only is he great with kids but he does the BEST work. My kids have been going to him for well over 10 years and there hasn’t been a moment where we’ve questioned his work. And I’m EXTREMELY picky with who cares for my kids! There aren’t words to describe how lucky we feel that we found him! I’m just sad he can’t be my dentist too.

Great Experience!
Loved our first time experience at Dr. Hersey’s office. We came here for a second opinion after questioning a treatment plan suggested for my son. The previous dentist wanted to put silver caps on every molar. Dr. Hersey reviewed the x-rays and determined that wasn’t necessary. He will do a tooth colored filling on most of his cavities. So thankful to have found this office. All of the staff were very friendly and helpful! Thank you :)

Best Dentist EVER!!
Dr. Hersey is the best pediatric dentist! Both of my children went to Dr. Heresy since they were toddlers and now will be graduating to adult care. Because of Dr. Hersey, they have never been afraid of going to the dentist. I wish I could give more than 5 stars! Thank you, Dr. Hersey and team!!

Top notch practice!
Our 1st visit was a second option appt for what we were being told my another dentist would be a crown not just s filling on our 7 year old and she has so many more that needed filled. Dr. Heresy's option was that it was a small filling. And to put sealants on other teeth. Staff is extremely professional and fun. My daughter loves going to the dentist!

Can't recommend enough!!
We have been going here for 7 years! Even though we moved 40 minutes away, we still see Dr. HERSEY and his staff because that's how much we love it! My kids look forward to their 6 month visits! And even when my daughter isn't cooperating, he is very gentle and quick with her, amd she leaves happy! They are all so kind and caring, informative and timely! We have never had any issues with waiting or anything! All my concerns and questions are taken seriously. It is also such a fun office space and very clean. We highly recommend!

Not sure why we didn’t come here sooner! Everyone at Dr. Hersey’s office is so kind. My girls first appointment was with them today and they came out saying, “they loved it and can’t wait to go back!” Seriously, what child says that about the dentist…. Mine do!!! Thank you so much for the wonderful care.
