Brenda did a great job today. I really feel the dentist and Brenda do a wonderful job. I would recommend Dr. Snow's office to anyone.

About Front Desk: The front desk is very friendly. They are always friendly. They try very hard to make you feel welcome. They are very sincere.

Hygiene rating:

About Hygienist: Brenda is outstanding. She is very gentle. She treats me with respect. She tells me how to take care of my teeth as i get older. She doesn't make me feel bad if I haven't done a good enough job.

Dr. Snow is very friendly, office is comfortable, and cost is reasonable with insurance, but their billing practice is out of date and slow. I'm covered by two dental insurance, but had to pay 1/2 the cost then it took 4 months to get reimbursed by Dr. Snow's office. Dr. Snow, your billing office is driving patients away.

great dentist but when he recently hired new staffing in the office I had a difficult time getting the insurance billing done correctly and the office administrators were difficult. the Dentist was professional and good at what he does and so were the hygienists.

Dr Snow is great! He is our dentist for the whole family and for me personally has put in new crowns and veneers. It looks great if I do say so myself. I was concerned that I would look like I had chicklets for teeth, but he did a great job and they look very natural. Guess I don't have anymore excuses not to smile in every picture!! He makes you feel comfortable with his sense of humor but at the same time is very professional. I couldn't recommend enough.

Dr. Snow implanted the wrong type of crown in my mouth. Since I am a severe bruxer, a porcelain infused to metal is the standard of care. Unfortunately for me, Dr. Snow used a material called emax that is contraindicated for anyone with bruxism. He also left a gap between the crown and the next tooth so food regularly gets entrapped. STAY AWAY.

Very personable. Comfortable atmosphere. Expensive. You must pay up front. If your insurance pays more than you're pre-payment, there is a delay getting your money back.

I really like Dr Snow. We have been through some tough treatment and I am a VERY nervious and phobic patient having had lots of (bad) dental treatment as a child. Dr. Snow was gentle, patient and very effective. Front desk is great...Dr. Snow took fabulous care of me..

I used to go to dr. snow when I was younger but my insurance changed: I have never seen a better dentist in my life (seen ~10 dentists). He is a very nice, down to earth guy not trying to rip you off and he will compliment your mouth (not bash it like a lot of money mongers). I am very surprised to hear negative reviews as well.

It concerns me that the dentist only checks the teeth if hygenist tells him to. I feel a dentist should have the ability to see what hygenist may miss. The flouride "swish" treatment is most unpleasant and difficult my kids and I have ever experienced. They don't give out toothbrushes because they recommend electric ones. Bothers me the most that the dentist doesn't check the teeth with each visit, even for my kids. Must pay full cost up front. Last visit there was a movie playing in the waiting room which was definitely more than PG. There were fortunately no children waiting. Hate to be so negative but we moved into this area, leaving an excellent dentist behind and have been a bit disappointed.
