I just want to shoutout the women doing the scheduling. They were extremely accommodating and super helpful. Going to the dentist can be stressful but the ladies in the office made it a much smoother process.

I am a newer patient to Avenues Dentistry and am very pleased with my experience so far. I've had routine cleanings and a filling replaced. The staff have all been extremely professional, communicative and attentive to my experience as a patient. I've seen Dr.

Greg Johnson and he is an excellent clinician - he explains everything clearly, is patient with any questions you might have, and gentle when doing procedures. The office is clean and accessible.

I usually write positive reviews, but my experience with Dr. Porter was frustrating. While the dental work turned out great—he matched my front crowns well—his attitude was problematic. When I arrived and informed them I wanted a different procedure, he threw what I can only describe as a tantrum, telling me to “go somewhere else” and appearing visibly upset. I realize I should have called in advance to change the 4-hour booking—that was my mistake and I will own that. Still, his outburst and guilt-tripping made the appointment uncomfortable.

Though he later apologized, it felt insincere, and I left feeling more like an inconvenience than a valued patient. Being a professional means more than being good at your craft, it means treating people with respect and dignity and Dr. Porter does not possess those skills in the slightest. A professional would have understood my position and worked WITH me to make me more comfortable and helped to address my qualms and reservations, certainly not shamed me into doing something for which I was not prepared. Edit: Dr Porter called me today and offered a much more sincere apology. It takes a big person to own up to their mistakes and I truly believe he was acting out of character yesterday.

He offered empathy and made sure I was feeling ok (both physically and mentally). I'm changing from a 2 star to a 4 star. Thank you for reaching out.

I have moved several times over the last 5 years, and have used 4 different dentists through that period. Cumulatively, the other 3 have diagnosed 1-2 fillings needed throughout that time. This one diagnosed me with 5 on one visit. When I went to have 2 of the fillings completed, the dentist (Dr. Porter, who was not my usual provider) came in, did not introduce himself, and began working on my two teeth which I was initially told were simple filling redos.

After completely removing any remains of both teeth, I was told I needed crowns on BOTH despite my initial diagnosis. At my next visit, I was told I would have 3 fillings completed despite being initially told 2 teeth needed work (for a total of 4). I decided to cancel the appointment and get a second opinion due to this confusion, and am glad I did. I was diagnosed with zero fillings needed upon second opinion, which is a lot more consistent with my typical experience at the dentist.
