I came to Dr. Shank's office from a friend's referral and am so far more than pleased by my experiences. I get very nervous going to the dentist and everything from the decor to (especially) Dr. Shank and his staff put me more at ease and tamed my nerves. I rated the Pain, Stress, & Anxiety 3 out of 4, but it was more 3.5. I was burning through the anesthetic from intense nerves and how deep the decay had extended, but Dr. Shank and his assistant (I forgot her name unfortunately) were wonderful and did what they could to assuage my anxiety, and keep me comfortable. I was quickly helped when I arrived, and was able to get 3 fillings done in less than 2 hours, start to finish. The entire staff is professional, friendly, funny, and very well organized. Compared to my last dentist, going to this office really IS like a health spa. All my questions were answered, and I plan to continue to see Dr. Shank and the staff at Mountain View Dental for as long as their practice is open!

About Front Desk: Tammy is fantastic! She sent a pre-authorization to my insurance from the first visit and was able to give me a price for all of my fillings (5 in total), and the first exam. She is very helpful in scheduling and was able to answer a question I had forgotten to ask Dr. Shank. She has left voicemails to let me know about upcoming appointments and the result of my pre-authorization. When I had called before this most recent visit to confirm the appointment, she asked for my cell number so the system could send a confirmation text to remind me. If you provide an email, there is also an option to confirm the appointment online.

Hygiene rating:

About Hygienist: From my first appointment, I enjoyed how thorough Kathy was in taking X-Rays to going through the cleaning and applying fluoride. A couple of my fillings from my old crab of a previous dentist had a few that were not smoothed out and were constantly tearing floss and catching extra particles. She was able to smooth those out and I no longer have any problems with them. A nice bonus was that smoothing was done complimentary. I was very impressed. The only reason my cleaning took the amount of time it did was because I was a new patient and they were doing a full workup.

Hygiene time: 60

I know this doctor: 3 Months
