I absolutely love this office and the employees here. The whole team is great about setting nerves at ease and making billing as easy as possible. Whole family comes here for regular dental work and I had invisilign through here extremely happy with the results. They are also knowledgeable about different methods of pain management which is a nice change from most dentists. They listen to your concerns and adjust accordingly.

I had my first appointment here last week. Let me start by saying I experience extreme anxiety when going to the dentist after having a bad experience with one. I was also very embarrassed at the condition of my teeth. They almost immediately made me feel at ease. The ladies at the front desk were kind and pleasant. Even a patient in the waiting room told me I was in good hands. I met Gosia (hopefully I spelled that right) first, and she was wonderful. She was so kind and even had me laughing after a few minutes. Dr. Petrie also put me at ease. I felt so much better walking out knowing I had found

The team makes you feel very welcomed and heard. I always feel very well taken care of here, even when faced with having to play catch up on dental work from the last few years, they’ve worked diligently with my budget and availability. Having been through some less than stellar dental experiences before Petrie, I cannot recommend them enough!

So I have seen Dr. Petrie three times now and I couldn't be more pleased with his work. He is funny, direct and easy to speak to. My three star rating is directly derived from my experience with the office manager Michelle.
As the result of one of my coworkers calling in sick, I was unable to make my three hour procedure, I canceled the morning of my appointment and incurred a significant penalty fee. It took me some time to be able to raise the cash, and when I did, I called to pay it off. The receptionist said that it had been stricken from the books and I no longer owed it. Now that I

This is the best dental office I’ve ever been to! Dr. Petrie and his staff are extremely nice and put you at ease right away. They made me feel comfortable from my first visit and kept me informed about any additional costs not covered my insurance up front. I really appreciated that! I have had several fillings replaced and Dr. Petrie’s technique was absolutely great! I didn’t feel a thing!! I strongly recommend them to everyone I know. They’re awesome!!!

TLDR; Unprofessionally shamed and berated by the office manager after asking reasonable questions about dental treatment plan / costs. Doctor went MIA, never following-up on poor experience, and ignored multiple follow-up emails to have patient files sent to an alternative dentist. We were eventually able to obtain most files, however the office repeatedly sent partial dental files making it difficult for us to move to another office. I strongly recommend people avoid this dental office.

I have always been afraid of dentists. Until I met Dr. Petrie. He and his staff work hard to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. They make sure for every visit I am comfortable and that I can communicate my concerns at any time. Due to my extreme fear, they offer nitros to help alleviate my anxiety. They offer pandora and Netflix for the. So far, every visit with Dr. Petrie and his staff has been one to put me at ease. I look forward to my visits and coordinating a healthy and bright future smile.

Just moved here from CA last year and I was searching Yelp for a new dentist. Thank goodness I found Dr. Petrie. Him and his staff are awesome! Theres always plenty of parking, you can communicate through text (a huge plus) and everyone is so sweet and nice. I've been to his office a few times and not once I have been pressure to have any procedure done. He always tells me the pro and con of my teeth. And if I do need something done, he will tell me to think about it and talk to him when I'm ready. Highly recommend him!!

Having a horrible past experience with a dentist I didn't return to one for far too long, from the minute I called and explained how bad my situation was, the woman on the phone assured me everything was going to be alright and to come in. Upon arrival I was terrified, every person I met that worked there was gentle and kind which really helped calm me down. I've now been back twice (having some major cleaning done and even having a tooth removed) and even knowing there's more work to be done, I am strangely looking forward to it. I can't wait to be able to smile again and

I've had some really awful experiences in the past with dentists. I've been going to see Dr. Petrie for three years now and am thoroughly impressed. This guy really knows what he is doing. He has taught me things I never knew that no other dentist had ever told me and has changed my entire outlook on dental care. Not only that but he is friendly and likable and knows how to put me at ease. The staff here goes to great lengths to ensure that you are comfortable and I have never felt so well cared for in my life.

From an emergency crown to general dental care, Petrie Advanced Dental has your smile covered! The experience starts from a warm reception greeting and promptly being ushered back to their spacious, technologically advanced room that make kids to adults, like myself who are apprehensive of any dental work feel comfortable! Mr. Petrie and his entire team take the time to make you feel at home with genuine engagement that builds a trusting patient relationship!
My first experience was an emergency crown, not exactly an ideal situation for a first time patient who is apprehensive of dental work!

This dentist office is amazing! I was upfront about my personal needs and never felt like they forgot or that it was ever an issue. Just the nicest people. They explain why a procedure is needed and how my insurance is effective without me having to ask a million questions. Dr Petrie was friendly and bright. Will continue to go here!

Today had my 3rd visit to this office for my teeth cleaning and a filling. Was previously recommended by a friend to try this place out, and have since left my previous dentist. Holly has been a hygienist there for over a decade and is really proactive in helping me with proper maintenance of my teeth, and keeping me informed of the latest and greatest with new products, habits, and clinical studies. She has reiterated some of the same things to me, but each time I leave there with helpful new knowledge and of course, clean teeth! I work odd hours, but Kim & Michelle upfront have always been

Not only is Dr. Petrie an amazing dentist. Considering I'm terrified of any dental work. And he gave me a root canal and it was nothing :) He also is amazing at Botox. I was a bit skeptical about getting it at first, but he was very realistic about how much I needed and didn't try upselling me like most places do. And it turned out great! Definitely recommend him & his lovely staff.

I'v had three appointments here so far.
Bottom line- I'd recommend this dentist to anybody. Every piece of the experience was overall exceptional in ALL categories, honestly.
I never really thought there could be such a thing as an "exceptional dental experience" but after visiting Dr. Petrie's office I was humbly proved wrong. Both he and his assistant Gosia were impressively professional and EXCELANT in their work. I actually said to a friend after the appointment that I think my bite with my new filling from Dr. Petrie is BETTER than my old bite with my REAL tooth
