Yesterday was my first time going to Wood Dental and all I can say is exceptional!! The environment, atmosphere, office and dental staff and Dr. Wood himself were nothing short of amazing. Dr. Wood was very personable and you can tell he’s very passionate about what he does and truly appreciates his staff. Oh, and the hygienist who cleaned my teeth? So professional and her work was top tier!! 10/10 recommend Wood Dental if you’re looking for quality dental care!

Dr. Wood is absolutely amazing! I had a tooth extraction and was pretty nervous, but Dr. Wood made me feel completely comfortable throughout the entire process. He took the time to explain everything and checked in on my progress regularly—even over Memorial Day weekend! His care and attention made a stressful procedure much easier to handle. I highly recommend Dr. Wood and his staff to anyone looking for a compassionate and skilled dentist.

My wife came back from a visit with Dr. Wood feeling uncomfortable and like she was taken advantage of. Here's why:
1. Fear mongering: Dr. Wood told my wife that her root canal was going to cause serious problems, despite it causing any current issues. He used scare tactics and sent her home with a brochure called “The Root of Evil” (photo attached). He also made my wife get an X-ray that wasn’t covered by insurance just to look at one tooth, and told her that if they didn't look at it there was a chance it could lead to cancer.
2. Inappropriately talking about my wife's appearance and guilting her into a product by critiquing her teeth: Dr. Wood told my wife she needed to purchase their Invisalign-like product, SureSmile, by saying “Your teeth look like buck teeth, but they’re not. I’m not flirting with you, but SureSmile would make such an improvement on your overall appearance and smile.” My wife said she had already used a similar product, and Dr. Wood scoffed saying "Well, they didn't work".
3. Inappropriately talking to my wife while rubbing her neck: Dr. Wood rubbed the back of her neck checking for lumps/throat cancer, and while doing it said “If it feels good it’s extra.”
Overall, she won't be going back and felt like they tried to push several products on her via awkward and inappropriate methods.

Dr Woods is a wonderful dentist, genuine, and very caring. This is my first surgical experience at his office and he went above and beyond reassuring me and making me feel comfortable and well cared for. I like his holistic approach and hope all future visits will be just as pleasant and comfortable. Thank you for truly caring and showing kindness to your patients.
