11Avoid at all costs.I was recommended here from my previous practice after the dentist retires. On 2nd visit, the hygienist (casey?) started doing a gum exam by jamming the tool into my gums so hard I was lifting out of my chair in pain while telling me she'd just got back from 10 days in Cancun. She was reading all of my pockets as 5s and 6s - very deep pockets.I take great care of my mouth and have never had a 6 in my life, very few 5s, and no history of periodontal disease ever. I also have "pseudo" pockets that can read as a 5 even though the gum is fine.Then the dentist (Wissinger) comes in and tells me about the $1400 of scaling and root planing I need for my serious periodontal disease. She didn't even bother to doublecheck the hygienist on this very anomalous gum exam.I immediately went to another dentist for a second opinion and he and his hygienist both said my gums are fine.I'm not sure if the hygienists are getting kickbacks for this or what the motivation is, but this one was completely unethical.Certainly the hygienist should never be able to practice again with the pain she inflicted on me and the attempt to pick my pocket for a very intensive procedure that I didn't even need. Maybe just a bad hygienist, but usually this kind of problem starts at the top.

2I drive 1 hour each way so Dr. Wissinger can be my dentist. She is the best. I recommended her to a neighbor. On his first visit she noticed a swelling in his neck that had been diagnosed for 4 years as an infected wisdom tooth. Dr. Wissinger told him to get to an oncologist that very day. He did and was correctly diagnosed with lymphoma. She is considerate, competent, gentle, thoughtful. I highly recommend her.
