McKenzie Dental Center: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Absolutely wonderful initial impression of McKenzie Dental. Staff are extremely friendly and quite competent in their profession. Would recommend to anyone!
Fantastic experience: As I told a receptionist on leaving McKenzie Dental after this appointment: it is always actually a pleasant experience—contrary to what one often hears about dental appointments. My dental hygienist is not only competent, she is cheery and fun (and that also applies to the Dentists). I have not been hesitant in recommending McKenzie Dental to others.
Fantastic experience: Access to later appointments, friendly and knowledgeable staff, they accept my insurance, convenient location. Transferred from Oakmont, very pleased!

I Just had an appointment today and so thankful for their care. If you have dental anxiety like me, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! - Vicki
Fantastic experience: Friendly front desk staff, knowledgeable hygienist and dentist, new modern building, clean, quiet, accessible parking lot
Negative experience: how hard is it to list some or all of the insurance providers you work with or accept? Other dentist do it It seems really ridiculous and scam me that you don't make it easy for patients, and less work for your employees… Who constantly have to field calls asking whether you take such and such insurance You can do better… It's really not that hard you are wasting everyone's time
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend McKenzie Dental Center! The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable.

Fantastic experience: McKenzie Dental Center's staff is very freindly and personable, and they provide excellent care!
Fantastic experience: I hadn’t been to a dentist in about 4 years (embarrassed to say). Dr. Shakespeare, Casey (dental assistant) and Crystal (dental hygienist) were simply amazing. They were all kind, reassuring and complimented me on my home care (a sonicare and floss a few times a week). They gave me a clean bill of oral health and sent me on my way for 6 months. Looking forward to seeing the crew in March.
Fantastic experience: I had a major procedure with multiple extractions and implants, and the entire team was excellent. The work was long and complicated, but I felt well cared for throughout. The dentist and staff were kind, attentive, and followed up with me several times after surgery, which I really appreciated. I trust their skill and feel confident moving forward with them. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Always a pleasant experience. I feel as though I’m family with the team! Excellent care and friendly always! Thank you for the outstanding dental experience!
Fantastic experience: They were very friendly and got me in very quickly. Thanks
Fantastic experience: I have never felt so welcomed and genuinely listened to by a providers office. I felt cared for, and never judged. They also gifted me a beautiful coffee cup with my name etched on the side. It's amazing. I was truly surprised and so grateful I was treated with such care. From the moment someone answered my chat request, to the front desk receptionist, to Carlos <3 the dental assistant, to Dr Shakespeare - I appreciate you. Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Awesome Dentist: I hate going to the dentist, i would usually avoid it whenever i could until i came here . The Guy is absolutely amazing .
Fantastic experience: Dr. Shakespear is thorough, personable, and informative. But the rest of the staff are great too. Highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: Amazing Care I wouldn't go anywhere else. Thank you.
Fantastic experience: Upon arrival I was greeted by the front desk receptionist. She was very nice and welcoming. I was given a tour of the office. And all the staff was kind and put my nerves to ease. I’m looking forward to all my visits.
Fantastic experience: Dr John is the best dentist I have ever been he is very professional and very considerate he is the best
Fantastic experience: I have never found such a great dentist as Dr. John, after a lifetime of terrible trauma with Dentists who assume all people are made the same...
Fantastic experience: Very friendly staff. Everything was explained very well. Great first experience
Fantastic experience: My hygienist was thorough and professional, gentle and personable. Excellent exam by the dentist. All around good experience! And my husband was dazzled by my bright smile.
Fantastic experience: McKenzie Dental and Dr. Lee and Dr. John are the best! Quick easy painless; really friendly staff. Love the in house ability to make crowns in an hour. I recommend Mckenzie dental to all my friends. All the hygienists are professional and fabulous. Doctor Lee and Doctor John have given me a beautiful smile that makes it a joy to smile and not feel shame over my teeth. Doctor John is a gift to us all and also does fabulous work. He made corrections with my teeth that were life changing thank you all of you!
Fantastic experience: Dr. John and all of the hygienists that I've ever dealt with at the office are all excellent. So patient, so professional, and always sincerely interested in my comfort! I highly recommend them! They're all great! I'm so lucky to have found them!
Fantastic experience: Great place! Clean, and the staff are very professional and friendly.
Fantastic experience: I have been using McKenzie Dental for 2 years. After using some of the big name franchises, I got tired of the pressure and push that I felt saying I needed this, or that. I like the home town atmosphere at McKenzie and everyone is friendly and informative. Thank you McKenzie for taking great care of my teeth and making me feel cared about. James Carter
Positive experience: It was a very pleasant experience and I was greeted by friendly staff.. I would recommend this office to others
Fantastic experience: Dr Jon and his staff, especially Jackie are wonderful. They are always pleasant and cheerful making you feel welcome and valued. Their quality of dentristy is excellent and they go out of their way to make sure you are completely satisfied and happy with their work.
Fantastic experience: By far the best tooth extraction experience I’ve ever had. Dr. John listened to my concerns made sure I was completely numb and comfortable. Plus he’s funny and friendly. I didn’t catch the assistants name cause I’m horrible with them, but she was super sweet and accommodating too.
Fantastic experience: 9/2/25 Chris Shakespeare and his assistant took wonderful care of me this morning with an infection. I am grateful to have Dr. Shakeshere as my dentist. New office is very nice. Heidi not only does an awesome job cleaning teeth, she’s super sweet. And, I really like Chris Shakespeare, his gentleness, good dentistry and I trust him too. Office staff are kind as well.
Fantastic experience: Very kind, knowledgeable, and friendly to be around. Great service I always look forward to my next visit. My mouth appreciates the tender care and cleanliness afterwords. Thank You to such a great team.
Fantastic experience: Vivian was my hygienist! She was so awesome! I was nervous and shaken up a bit when I came in. She calmed me down very well! Our previous dentist was Dr. McCully and he retired. The dentist that took his place is just different and has changed so much (the music, the decor, etc). We decided it was time to change and thought you were A LOT closer, took our insurance, and had better hours . We are pleased with our cleanings! Here's our kitties (I told Vivian about our not so lady-like gitls). Miss P isn't just a "big" girl. We rescued her from an abusive home. Lillie Belle is our fluffy girl. She lived the 3 years before we got her on top of a fridge. The owner's weiner dogs would constantly bite and fight her. She had her food, litter box, and bed up there. We rescued her. Thank you again!
Fantastic experience: I had my teeth cleaned in June, '25, which went well. I had the old crown in my upper right area removed 8/4 due to degeneration & new one made in-house by Dr. John. Actual teeth work only took few minutes but had to wait about 1/2 hour for the new crown to be made. I had to have the bite adjusted 2 times since but this time it turned out well. 8/26 I had him check out the gum around the left rear upper molar since there was some pain. He said the gum line was receding & that food particles were getting in causing the gum to be inflamed. He said to return to use of water Pick & continue gargling with hydrogen peroxide & water. No need for antibiotics. Since then my gums & tooth feel a lot better! Pros: Dr. John is efficient, fast & friendly so are the dental & front desk/billing staff. Free parking. Teeth cleaning was thorough. I nominated them to my dental plan. Nice new building. Cons: none that I see.
Fantastic experience: Always a good experience with McKenzie Dental! I just had my teeth cleaned very thoroughly and painlessly. Thanks! My dentist is Dr. John, a wonderful person, and my hygienist was Francis, also fantastic. Thanks team!
Fantastic experience: Friendly environment and very professional. Dr. Lee is experienced and talented.
Fantastic experience: "Beloved" and "grateful" encapsulates my feelings towards McKenzie Dental. As a patient for a total of close to 40 years, I feel as though I'm among friends with the best of the best! I called Sunday to schedule an appointment for a broken tooth. Sarah got me in Monday morning, and blessings to Dr. Lee for squeezing me into their busy morning for ending up being a needed crown. Dental assistant Cacia (?sp) was an absolute dear through the whole process! Thank you so much to all. ~~~Dianne Stewart
Fantastic experience: Nice clean office! Staff was wonderful and I am looking forward to going back!
Fantastic experience: They are great! 1st time in my life I got through an entire set of X-rays without gagging! Dr. John was awesome answering my sons eleventy-million questions without getting irritated as well.
Positive experience: They’re friendly, professional, and do a good job. I think they’re on the expensive side. However, I haven’t compared pricing to other dental offices recently.
Fantastic experience: Impressive assessment and treatment plan on my visit. He explained kindly person centered care with cultural competitiveness. I am very excited to see Dr John on my next visit. Thank you so much for your help.
Fantastic experience: Hygienist Jackie is very efficient personable & highly recommendable.
Fantastic experience: To say i have experienced most excellent and professional care at McKenzie Dental Center is to put it mildly. The team there is a wonderful experience with pleasant people who truly care how my mouth feels and thus when I leave I feel better physically, not only, but also, my spirits are lifted right back to a happy day. As far as I'm concerned, Dr. Lee and his team saved my life! I am very grateful and appreciative of their efforts and I do recommend their services to anyone in need of dental care. Thank you!, Tommy
Fantastic experience: Kind and prompt staff. I was able to get my questions answered by the doctor, have X-rays and my teeth cleaned all in under an hour. My confidence in this practice is very high. Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Very wonderful experience from the minute I went in the door. From the girl at the front desk to the technician. To my dentist it was wonderful. I appreciate the whole office. The whole crew is amazing and my artist of the smile Dr. John the absolute best. Thank you all so much
Fantastic experience: Always very kind with me because I get very anxious at the dentist. They make sure I’m comfortable
Fantastic experience: They are an amazing dental office. Very polite and understanding. Try to help you with your payments by offering you care credit among other stuff and Make things very easy to understand
Fantastic experience: Mckenzie Dental has a super welcoming staff that always make me feel really comfortable every time I'm there. Very gentle dentistry, greatly appreciated!
Fantastic experience: A fine job done. Happy with the results. Looking forward to next visit.
Fantastic experience: Mckenzie Dental is the best dentists I have ever been to. I'm 75 and have always had a fear of going to the dentist. The staff at Mckenzie Dental are wonderful and make you feel like you are part of their family. They show and share a positive attitude with their patients and each other. I highly recommend them to anyone needing dental work and cleaning. I had a bottom partial made and it fits perfectly. Thank you Mckenzie Dental Center & Orthodontics
Positive experience: The dental care provided is pain free, and the dentist is amazing, caring, and very professional. However, as a client without insurance, it seems that the only concern from office staff both by phone and at the front desk is MONEY! MONEY MONEY MONEY! No concern for how I am feeling, no question about my pain level, just MONEY. If this is a medical office, shouldn't the patients health come first. Or at least the illusion of concern. When did this world come to this? Uncaring people who put money above people. I was in pain when I called.... no question about my condition. I was in pain when I got to the desk, no question about my condition, just "who are we billing?" Fix it
Fantastic experience: First visit impressions, great! Welcoming, thorough, patient.
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend McKenzie Dental Center. I had extreme anxiety and delayed making an appointment because of my fear. Dr. Lee and his entire staff went out of the office way to help me feel comfortable, from a tour of the new office to staff introductions. I never felt rushed. And while I will be needing additional treatment, my fear has lessened, I know what to expect and believe the whole Dental team will help me through the process. Again, an excellent Dental practice with evening and weekend appointments available
Fantastic experience: McKenzie Dental had been and is wonderful to work with. I always feel that my mouth and teeth are in the best hands and I love my dental hygienist!!!
Fantastic experience: Nice, polite and very professional. Unfortunately periodontal cleanings are very expensive and not covered. Have to shop around for a better price .
Fantastic experience: Very friendly, the office is new and bright, welcoming. The staff friendly courteous and very happy to help. The equipments of the day and much better than I'm use too .
Fantastic experience: Very friendly, polite and professional staff. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: THE BEST!! I've had a lot of work done here over the past six years, as has my whole family, and we could not be happier. I'm pain-free, smiling, and I never imagined my teeth could look as good as they do now! The friendly service, efficient operation from start to finish, and follow-up on big procedures are exceptional. My aging parents and several relatives have started going here…And all of us are extremely pleased
Thank you Very much Scott for your glowing review! We appreciate you as a patient and friend of the practice!
Positive experience: A lot of moving parts, so a bit overwhelming. They do make the crowns in office, on the spot, which is a big plus. One person gave me the numbing shot, then Dr Lee did the prep for crown, another person did the 3D model and made the crown, yet another person placed it in my mouth, and I swear, then Dr John came in to make sure all was well… it’s like a tooth factory….
Fantastic experience: When my wisdom tooth broke not a single other dentist would help me because i wasnt an established patient, i went to another dentist for an emergency visit and they wanted to charge me an absoloutely insane amount and told me i would have to wait 4 weeks without any pain management to even get it pulled, if you have ever had a broken off wisdom tooth you know that is not an option! Dr John and his whole team were so compassionate, kind and thorough about the whole process, they had an opening and got me in within an hour of calling in tears and my tooth was pulled then and there! They have a customer for life!! I have since had an exam and a cleaning and i couldnt be happier with everyone i have worked with there! I also will add i have a dental phobia and they are so so kind and patient with me, they truly go the extra mile for their patients! If you are on the fence, just take the leap and give them a try!
Positive experience: After the numbness wore off my i can feel a ridge where my new caps i thought it should be smooth? The doctor and chair side did a good job numbing me and making me feel comfortable. It still sucked lol.
Fantastic experience: All the staff working there were very nice & knowledgeable. When I was done with my appointment I left there knowing when my next appointment was scheduled for and the dental work that would be performed. My experience was overall very pleasant.
Fantastic experience: Heidi the dental hygienist was very gentle and thorough very pleasant person
Fantastic experience: This dental office is amazing, very talented and skilled team. The staff is Knowledgeable and very compassionate. They are willing to work with your schedule. I had horrible pain from a tooth that needed work, pain flared up one evening and they got me in the very next morning! Despite my actual appointment being a week away. They have my highest respect and recommendation
Fantastic experience: The staff are kind, considerate and very professional. Dr. Shakespeare is dedicated, quick but yet very efficient and a wonderful dentist. I highly recommend this dental practice. They are able to get you in and out without waiting months to be seen.
Fantastic experience: Had another fantastic visit for teeth cleaning. Bernita is such a joy to work with. She is clear, concise, knowledgeable, kind, and wonderful. Very considerate and explains everything. I highly recommend!!
Fantastic experience: I get my teeth cleaned by Bernita 3-4 times a year. It is always at 7am and she is always fabulous. I feel seen and cared for and motivated to do a better job with my teeth. This place is fantastic—and Bernita is magnificent to work with! And what a spectacular facility!
Fantastic experience: This dentist is truly the best! Everyone there is so sweet and caring. They even custom engrave a cup with your name which I thought was super awesome. I will definitely be sticking with this dentist and referring them to everyone I know.
Fantastic experience: Such a great place. Highly recommend McKenzie Dental for all your dentistry needs. Lovely staff and high quality work!
Fantastic experience: I just want to say they're very professional. And they have a really happy attitude and very happy staff. I would recommend them highly
Fantastic experience: Always pleasant and friendly , thank you for always make my smile beautiful
Fantastic experience: Always a great experience at each visit, starting with the front office staff to all the back office staff and dentists. No matter what the issue, the visits are painless and my teeth are happy again!! I am able to get in quickly for any emergency that comes up. Much Appreciated!!
Fantastic experience: My visits to McKenzie Dental have been great! Francis and Dr. John assisted me both times; they are both very kind and gentle. The office is kept clean, and the ladies at the front desk are very nice. I appreciate their extended hours and treatment plan, which helped me budget and plan necessary maintenance. Their hospitality reminds me of the book "Unreasonable Hospitality". Definitely recommend!
Negative experience: After changing to medicare this year I was looking for a new dentist This would have worked out well for me but after being shuffled around on my appointment I clarified that I wanted my cleaning included with the exam at the same time. I've had regular cleanings for 40 years but according to them my teeth needed 225 dollars more than a regular cleaning. Felt like I was being set up for an upcharge! I scheduled my exam and made sure to ask that my insurance covered both. Now they wouldn't do a cleaning under my insurance do to my severe neglect of my teeth? I've had regular cleanings at my other dentist twice a year but somehow 6 months later . They can't do a regular cleaning??? Be careful at this establishment! I'll look for another dental care that is not just out to charge me. Makes no sense
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about your experience and appreciate the opportunity to respond.
At our practice, patient care and transparency are top priorities. We follow clinical guidelines and insurance requirements closely, which sometimes means that additional treatment is recommended beyond a standard cleaning, especially when signs of periodontal issues or advanced buildup are present.
Please know that treatment plans are based on clinical findings and are always discussed with patients beforehand. We also strive to clarify what services are covered by insurance to avoid unexpected costs.
Because we take patient privacy seriously, we can’t discuss specific details here, but we would be happy to talk with you directly to review your concerns and treatment options. Please feel free to contact our office so we can help clarify anything further.
We appreciate your past visits and wish you the best in finding care that fits your needs.
Sincerely,
McKenzie Dental Center

Fantastic experience: UPDATE June 2025: Even nicer facility, still great people offering excellent dentistry, and even have Sunday appointments if you want. // Great facility, great people. I'm especially happy with the McKenzie Dental plan. Twenty-first century dentistry with friendly, knowledgeable people.
Fantastic experience: Amazing service, they were able to get me in shortly after my first visit and work with my schedule. They made sure I was comfortable the entire time I was there. Would recommend!
Fantastic experience: Becky it professional and personable. I hope she stays at McKenzie Dental for a long time.
Fantastic experience: I'm new to McKenzie Dental, and I can't say enough good things about my experience. From the moment I checked in, everyone made me feel welcome and comfortable. Carlos, who took my X-rays, was excellent. Dr. John was professional, kind, and funny, and the financial coordinator was sweet—for someone who has to ask for money! We know that's not an easy job. My hygienist was also absolutely fantastic. Every single person I interacted with was warm and attentive. I won’t go anywhere else and highly recommend McKenzie Dental to anyone considering coming here.
Fantastic experience: Not often you go into a dentist office & look forward to your teeth cleaning but I do with Benita at McKenzie Dental. The Dentist & office staff are also great.
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend going to this place! Dr. John is not only good at what he does professionally, but his relational, kind and fun approach with his patients makes the experience even better! Plus he has some swag dance moves! Everyone there is kind and welcoming.
Fantastic experience: I am so impressed with this office, from the front receptionists to the dental assistant who oriented me to their facility and took the films on my initial visit. Dr Shakespear not only showed me the films as he explained his interpretations of them and continued to list my options on treatments, including costs and alternatives. No one acted rushed or pushy with my choices. Scheduling future visits and payment options were timely and professionally explained by the front desk staff again. I feel blessed to have found this group and feel I am good hands as I move forward in their care.
Fantastic experience: This place has become my go to place for mouth work. I hated going to the dentist before. They are gental here. They are very good about working with me and my fear of the dentist. Plus i can get in on sundays. I highly reccommend this place ***update** just had more work done. Fillings and an extraction. Couldn't have gone any better. I am going to miss this place when I move here soon. We may literally fly out for major teeth work. Dr. JOHN is sooo good at what he does. I highly recommend Mckenzie Dental to anyone looking for a good dentist.
Fantastic experience: Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Gentle cleanings. Explanations and future plans for preserving teeth are explained clearly.
Fantastic experience: Yesterday (03/02/2024) Heidi did an excellent cleaning and X-Raying my mouth. She is very patient and careful. After Heidi finished her job they also took care of a cavity detected by Dr. Shakespeare. Thank you. Alfredo J Eloy
Fantastic experience: I learned through a mailing that the McKenzie Dental Center was accepting new patients, so I made an appointment to introduce myself. The staff was friendly and efficient. Dr. John interviewed me with charm and presented me with personalized gifts. As we chatted at length, he made me laugh with his humorous interactions with me and with the staff. I kept several appointments after that to have all my dental needs taken care of. He maintained his friendliness and humor throughout. His dental treatments were completed with professionalism and with an impressive knowledge of the latest technology in dentistry.
Fantastic experience: Vivian my hygienist was amazing!! I had recent back surgery and a dry cough. She was very patient and accommodating!! The front desk gal was very sweet. Love their new office. Much better parking
