We stay abreast of all new breakthroughs in the dental field, and are constantly learning and open to new ideas to better serve our patients' needs.

The best dental office I've ever had experience using. Jessica the dental hygienist is a huge part of what makes this place great. She is gentle yet effective, has a great personality and cares very much about the patient. I'm not the super talkative type, but recently had to fill her in on a bunch of bad news in my life regarding back problems. She stopped what she was doing and gave me her full undivided attention while listening. I don't even get that kind of care from the health professionals I see for my back problems.

I'm deeply grateful I found Dr. Chalmers. The initial visit was very insightful and VERY thorough. Dr. Chalmers understands that pain in the jaw/teeth can come from a variety of sources. She assessed muscular tension, alignment and movement of the jaw, quantity of saliva and pH, and many other things and all the standard dental exams (x-rays, gums, etc). Her assessment determined a mechanical/movement problem of the jaw that would explain the tension and the pain. I cannot recommend her practice enough, it was well worth the wait to get in!

Very disappointed with the overall quality of care, this business is very disorganized. Every appointment takes 2-3 months to schedule due to constant overbooking, so after wasting the whole year, thousands of dollars, and not accomplishing anything I just gave up. Why take new patients, if you never have time to treat them? This experience was very frustrating, emotionally draining and costly.

We have been seeking out a holistic dentist and I am blessed to have found this practice for myself, and now for my family as well. They are fantastic and really know their stuff. Dr. Chalmers saved my teeth and restored them to gorgeous again, she believes in saving the integrity of the tooth and avoiding invasive procedures if at all possible. Staff is genuine and very friendly.

I am extremely disappointed in the quality of care I received at this dental office. This is the most expensive dental clinic I have ever heard of and the quality of care I received there was poor. There are many wonderful dentists that charge half as much and give me excellent care. I will not be returning to this elite clinic that gave me very poor treatment. I paid $4,000 for a bridge that lasted one year. Another dentist I am now working with quoted me $1,400 for the same type of bridge. There are other holistic dentists that charge the same as other dentists. I was impressed by the

I drive two hours for my kids to see Dr. Chalmers. She is one of a kind. She understands the connection between oral health and the rest of the body. She follows safe protocols, and the fact that she is also trained as a naturopathic doctor means that she takes a very holistic approach to dentistry. Highly recommend her.

I had the last of my mercury amalgams removed this week by Dr. Chalmers. It was a source of great anxiety for me because of various health issues. Dr. Chalmers was absolutely amazing, kind, and a true artist. She saved a tooth that I was at risk of losing, and the entire side of my mouth is now a work of art. Her dental assistant, Angela, was also a genuine pro and exceptionally caring. I had the song "I Get By With a Little Help From My Friends" on repeat and I knew I could not have been in better hands and hearts. I am deeply grateful for Dr. Chalmers being a superb dentist, and for

I completely trust Dr Chalmers expertise and skill. I was living out of the area for a while and saw another dentist. During a visual exam they remarked at how impressive it was that I didn't have any fillings. I have fillings. Dr Chalmers work is so great that another professional thought I had never had any work done.

The BEST dentist and staff around! Mary Ellen Chalmers is impeccable in her holistic approach and procedural execution. Her broad and deep knowledge and know-how is matched by her kindness and caring.
Her office manager/receptionist Sharon is equally excellent. Detailed, kind, and caring, Sharon goes the extra mile to make it all feel easy.
I cannot speak highly enough of both Mary Ellen and Sharon and have referred many over the years to this dental office.

I am an acupuncturist who utilizes functional medicine & am so grateful that I found Dr. Chalmers years ago. I had been to every other holistic dentist in the area and she is by far the best. She is brilliant, careful, fastidious, and kind. She solved ongoing problems that the other dentists i had seen did not. Dr. Chalmers takes the time to explain things, is proactive and is the only dentist I know of who has not only completed all of the training at the Institute for Functional Medicine, but also teaches for them which I find very impressive. I have referred many friends and clients

When you choose the "best of the best" you definitely have to compete with everyone else who wants the "best of the best" When I first called, I had been to my general dentist, my primary care doctor and my dermatologist and nobody could tell what was going on which made me feel a wee bit crazy for complaining, BUT the initial conversation with Sharon, the receptionist was so excellent that some professional could tell me what my problem was. First I began to experience a tingling in the middle of my lower lip which eventually over the next few weeks extended to the crook of
