I recently had my first visit and was very impressed! I was a bit worried bc I have always had the same dental office but Molly, my hygienist, made me feel at ease and very comfortable. She was gentle and very knowledgeable. Dr Jarred was kind and answered all my questions. The whole office staff is so warm and inviting as well! I will be returning with my family. Highly recommend!

I am one of those people who "hates" going to the dentist. . . . so much so I had not been in over 5 years. The staff at Forest Hills Family Dental made me feel incredibly comfortable and both my cleaning and subsequent crown (I let a little bit go too long) were pain free and actually comfortable. I can't express my thanks in a short review. I was struggling with my insurance and all that goes with that. Kat was a Rockstar who helped me every step of the way. My appointment fell one week prior to my bday and surprise. .

. surprise. . . a birthday card with a Starbucks gift card. Icing on the cake (sugar free of course)😘 If you are looking for a dentist with patience and an incredible soft touch with an office staff that goes above and beyond. . . . look no further.

I’ve been going to Forest Hills Family Dental for a year. It’s weird to say but we love this place. Probably the best dental experience I’ve had in over 30 years. I needed a crown at my last appointment (and no they didn’t push it on me, I chose to do it) and wow. Again can’t believe I’m saying this but I now have 4 crowns and this was the best experience.

They make the crowns in the office. You’re there 2 hours and you leave with your permanent crown. No come back in 2-3 weeks to get the permanent. If you’re on the fence of which dentist to chose you won’t be disappointed.

Needed a crown. Office staff explained all fees as well as the actual step-by-step process. Procedure was painless. Dr. Pettijohn and Amanda provided excellent care. Entire staff is professional and super friendly.
