John Shoemaker, DDS

I originally chose this office because of it's proximity to my work, but now I would say it's because they treat you like family. The two sweet ladies at the front desk always greet me by name and with a smile. The best part is they are never overbooked. Dr. Shoemaker is a very knowledgeable and experienced dentist. Gets a little bossy if you talk while he's trying to do bone grafting, but he has perfectly good reason. I would have to say this is my favorite dentist office and I would recommend it to anyone.

Worst man I have ever had to encounter. He is rude, he makes you feel like you are wasting his time if you are going in for something small. Typical money grubbing dentist. I wouldn’t recommend this place if you want to be treated like a person!

.n****REVISION from 2 months ago****nnFrom 4 ⭐ufe0f ⭐ufe0f⭐ufe0f⭐ufe0fto 2 ⭐ufe0f⭐ufe0fin 1 visit!nI am sad to report back that my views on this Dentist has changed due to an appointment I had a few weeks after my 4 wisdom teeth were extracted. I wanted to keep the previous review but this one exceeded the limit so I had to delete it and because that was my thoughts then. I had no intentions of deleting my review or making a revision even after my appointment until I saw that over 100 people have viewed it. After I received the notification from yahoo about all the viewers, my conscience wouldn’t allow me to keep silent.nnThe staff is amazing and my thoughts and opinion of them remain the same, however Dr Shoemaker’s behavior made me question his involvement in my future dental services. Previous reviews stated he was money hungry but I was like ud83eudd14 that wasn’t my initial experience, until now. Is he really after my money? I had an appointment to file a few of my teeth to make them all even. In previous appointments he said yeah, you can come in and I’ll file those down for you, no problem. I Made the appointment, came in, he discussed my review & thanked me. He mentioned the other reviews where someone said he was after their money and we both just shook our heads and chuckled. He educated me on what the end results would be like for my health in the long run if He filed my teeth and eventually talked me out of filing them down. I’m confused because couldn’t you have said that in one of my previous appointments? Why are you mentioning this now? Hmm. I thanked him and headed to the front counter to check out. I told the receptionist no teeth were filed and she said ok, no charge. I ended up chatting with her & the dental hygienist for a bit (like at least 20min). Dr Shoemaker comes up and asks “What did you charge her?” she said “nothing.” He said “I gave her over (however many years he’s been a Dentist) worth of education so that has to be worth something.” He made her charge me. I was speechless. I couldn’t believe he said that right while I was standing there. Who does that? Not someone that wanted me to return. I thought he cared. Didn’t we just chuckle about someone else’s review on you being money hungry & not caring about the patients needs overall? Also, I would have been long gone from the office had I not been chatting with the receptionist, so it wasn’t my fault they were not charging me. The reason I wasn’t going to write a review about this was because I wanted to remain positive & allow God to handle it. I was unemployed but was thankful to God he provided me with the funds for these services. Hey, at least I saved some money by NOT getting them filed. I didn’t want to be viewed as being vengeful, so I prayed about it and let it go. Plus, I get it, if you are seen by a Doctor, you pay them for their time, right? ud83eudd37ud83cudffd‍♀ufe0f Was I baited to come back just so he could talk me out of it and still get money from me? ud83eudd37ud83cudffd‍♀ufe0fHow he chose to handle the situation didn’t sit well with me at all. Poor customer service & questionable character. I absolutely love the staff, but unfortunately what Dr Shoemaker did that day left a sour taste in my mouth & I won’t be back.

I have been to So Many Dentists in my life, and DDS. Shoemaker (I call him Dr.) Is the Greatest! Dr. Shoemaker not only is he Highly Skilled, but has a Wonderful Personality! His hands are Steady, and his eyes are Keen!.nDr. Shoemaker has replaced one of my Empty slots, with an Implant, and I am So, So Happy! Now, for the other side of my palette. All of the Ladies who work with Dr. Shoemaker are so Friendly, and they put you right at ease! Such an Amazing Team!

Im a nervous nelley and I have never been made to feel more at ease in a dentist office as this office has made me. Thank y’all so much
