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.

TMJ dentistry
Neuromuscular does not work for TMJ. I spent so much time and money with visits, splint and am still not feeling well. TMJ is tough I understand but be very careful as to who you choose to see.

I've been going to Dr. Harper for thirty two years & the one thing that has never changed in that time is Dr. Harper's commitment to his patients. When someone asks me how much I trust Dr. Harper I say, enough to fall asleep while he's working on me. Yes that's right I trust him enough that I can fall asleep while he's working on my teeth & I've been able to fall asleep more than once. I put on the headphones turn up the music close my eye's & Dr. Harper wakes me when he's done. I trust Dr. Harper because he is that good & he care's that much about the people he take's care of. I would not go to someone else even if it was free because I've never met another dentist as good as Dr. Harper.

This is the great place to go for any of your dental needs. Dr. Harper and his staff are professionals with your best interest at heart. He has done fillings, crowns and lately veneers for my 68 year old teeth. I had always had a fear of the dentist until I found Dr. Harper years ago. Go there and you will come out knowing you had the best care available.

The entire Dental Team - friendly and warm. Dr Harper and his team are extremely knowledgeable in their field. I've recently had to change hygienists after almost 20 years- my new hygienist With Dr Harpers office is extremely gentle and thorough - my first visit was beyond successful. I never once felt the stress of a dental appointment - more so like a visit with long lost family. Highly recommend to anyone. Looking forward to my next visit!

From the front desk staff, dental assistants and Dr. Harper himself, this office is second to none. Having moved to Florida from the NY, needing dental work, I was very disappointed with several dentists from office staff, cleanliness, and professional ability that I tried in Florida. Fortunately, a dental sales representative recommended Dr. Harper to me when I told the rep. that I was moving to Ocala. Dr. Harper has such an easy going manner and always keeps you informe...

All of my mouth is crowns or a partial except for three teeth. Dr. Harper and his staff have handled me with professional kid gloves because they know of my fear in the dental office. He is the most caring dentist I have ever had. He has explained all procedures to me and tried in vain to save some of my teeth. I have dry mouth and decay is a certainty for me. When I had to have extractions for a bridge, his assistant Mary Ann would pat my shoulder and she had tears ...
