Happy Valley Dentistry

Everyone was friendly and professional. I am never worried about visiting this establishment. Dr. Schimmel and Dr. Emerson are very knowledgeable. Lisa, my hygienist was great! Lisa at the front desk is amazing at scheduling and dealing with the insurance! She is professional and calming.

Over the years, my wife and I have lived in a few states and had countless dentists. None compare to Dr Emerson. He is without a doubt the most trustworthy and competent dentist we have ever encountered. His chair side manner is unique. I’ve never had a dentist who takes their time during a routine exam, explaining everything he is doing and looking for and is sensitive to people like me with a strong gag reflex. When I needed a crown, Dr Emerson was methodical and gentle.

He continually asked how I was doing and stopped multiple times to give me a break when he sensed I was uncomfortable. As a final testament to our confidence in Dr Emerson, he recently moved his practice and we now willingly drive over two hours to see him. We can’t imagine ever changing dentists again. The staff at Happy Valley is also the best. From the reception desk to the hygienists, everyone is super friendly and nice.

If you’re looking for the best dentist in State College, stop searching—Happy Valley Dentistry is the place to go. My wife and I tried multiple dentists in the area, but none met our expectations—until we found Dr. Emerson and his amazing team. Dr. Emerson is not only highly skilled and knowledgeable but also incredibly kind, compassionate, and thorough.

He takes the time to listen to your concerns, offers thoughtful solutions, and prioritizes preventative care whenever possible to avoid unnecessary invasive procedures. His honesty and approach are truly refreshing. The staff, especially Lois Jean and Stacy, are absolutely wonderful. From the moment you walk in, they make you feel welcome, comfortable, and at ease. Their professionalism and warmth make it a pleasant experience.

If you need a trustworthy, caring, and expert dentist in State College, Happy Valley Dentistry is the place to go. I can’t recommend them enough! Don’t waste time with other offices—Dr. Emerson and his team will exceed your expectations!
