Dr. John C. Machell, DMD

A very pleasant staff member greeted me and seated me in the treatment room, and Dr. Machell came in shortly after. He asked me a few questions and looked at the tooth that was bothering me. I had been told that I needed a crown (this was a second opinion), but he said that he thought a filling would probably do the trick and be less expensive. I liked the sound of that, so that's what we did. He did the numbing thing very gently, and the treatment process was very comfortable. He has some really interesting hi-tech systems for making the restoration, and he checked it out carefully after it was placed to be sure it was OK (it was). I have had a lot of dental work over the years and Dr. Machell is as good as any (and better than many). Thanks, Doc! Keep up the good work...

Excellent care and consulting. I have great trust when I visit. Doctor and staff are very personable and knowledgeable. I highly recommend.

Dr. Machell and his staff provide excellent patient services, offering state of the art technology, expertise, and outstanding customer service. In addition, Dr. Machell demonstrates true artistry inndevising treatment plans to meet his patient’s needs. First rate!

Awful! Stay away. I had no problems prioir to his work. I have been in pain every day for the last three years. He replaced all of my childhood, comfortable, non-problematic, amalgam fillings with resin. Have been to 15 dentist all say he made a mess of things. He destroyed my occlusal bite and I now have TMJ, which I never had my entire life. He was awful inappropriate and borderline behaved in malpractice at my follow-up. When I tried to explain what was going on for me. I now have proof that I was in fact correct! I had to have models made of my teeth to compare the before molds after his work. These models show that he changed my bite, curve of speed of jaw line/bone, and the shape of my teeth. He made the teeth shorter and I now have a over bite. When I shared that his hygienist Kathy told me that he would have to charge an extra $300 because he broke my tooth while filling it and that I have been in constant pain since his work his answer was: I did you a favor Breaking that tooth! Stay away! He would not address any of the pain. He stated I was a very nervus and derpressed person and he would not speak to me without being paid more for his time. I am not a nervus or depressed person. I am a psychotherapist with an MSW. I was shocked that he would say such a thing to someone he was treating for dental care. I had already paid all of my bills in full. Noting can be done to repair what he did. It has been three years of pain. Stay AWAY.
