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.

Routine Dental Checkup
Great knowledgeable staff and Dentist I have been seeing for 25 plus years. His staff and practice is always willing to work with the patient and go above and beyond to delivers the best care possible. I couldn’t ask for a more honest, professional, and down to earth dental group

Just … AWESOME !!
Had major dental issues: a two tooth bridge broke and after consideration, decided to move forward with a three tooth implant.This resulted in dental implants, a root canal and just when it seemed the end was near - a tooth extraction was needed. Yesterday was a glorious day - Dr. Pivovar seeded the implant !! It fit perfectly and is just - AWESOME !!Many thanks to Dr. Pivovar and his team !!

Excellent replacement for my dentist who retired
Dr. Pivovar was recommended by a friend to replace my family dentist whose family of dentists had serviced me all of my life. Kelly (front desk), Paige (dental hygienist) and Dr. Pivovar were excellent. All staff members listened to my concerns as well as explaining all procedures and any recommendations they felt were necessary. So glad I chose Dr. Pivovar!

Pleasant experiences
I have had problems with my teeth all my life and have had a lot of dental work done. I became a patient of Dr. Pivovar when I moved to Medina County in my 30s. Everyone I came in contact with were so helpful and friendly and the work done has been excellent. I would recommend their services to anyone looking for a dental practice.

Stressed Out!
First I'd like to say that I think Dr. Pivovar is a great dentist. But I am disappointed with how his staff handles insurance claims. I was called at home by the staff telling me that my crown would be covered by my Medicare insurance and to set up an appointment. 2 weeks later I received a bill from them for $800.00. The crown they replaced was a cosmetic fix and not threatening to my oral health. This all happened in the month of December and the appointment could have waited just a few weeks when the new coverage year started.I am an older woman living alone on a fixed social security income and devastated by having to pay this $800 bill for a procedure that was not a press
