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.
Cannot recommend this dentist at this time. Read the realistic reviews on the two main websites for business reviews. (Not all the firewall reviews that most were written by his staff). There's a picture on the main website that starts with Y and ends in Help that tells a thousand words on how his work really is and how he guarantees his work after he has your money. After you read those reviews, you be the judge on whether you want to entrust your health, teeth, and wallet to this doctor. I very slick PR department doesn't mean a good dental experience.

Does not guarantee his work, or his products. Dr. Scam would be a better name.

Absolutely hands down the best dental office I have ever been to. Having mini implants inserted for permant dentures.
Half through this process. My teeth have been removed and I currently have my temporary dentures in.
Dr Boatman is genuinely nice and clear about what is going on. Best staff ever. Talking about you Em.

The office staff has turned over multiple times over the past few years. Dr. Boatman suggested root canals for me multiple times over the years. He had to redo multiple ones after I still had pain or an infection. Now a few years later I've had almost every tooth he performed a root canal go bad. Other dentist's have told me this is very rare and shouldn't happen. He seems to push as many patients through as possible. I cannot recommend his quality of work.

I would not recommend dr boatman.. I feel that he was just after my money by recommending a lot of root canals and crowns. When I was recently previously told that just needed a few fillings
