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.

Old, arrogant and expensive. After 50 years in the same location, he seeks new patients. That should tell you everything you need to know.

Fourteen-year-old implant
Fourteen years ago Dr. Falendar replaced one of my molars with an implant. It's as healthy and sturdy today as it was when he placed it. When I eat popcorn, I chew on that side! The proof is in the popcorn! Thank you, Dr. Falendar.
