Fantastic experience: Great experience and friendly staff!!! First time with Ashley and I noticed toward the end of my work day what a great job she did on cleaning my teeth! Very friendly, professional and did a fantastic job! Thank you

Susan V Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Dr Elward took her time with me and was very thorough in her assessment of my dental issues. Really liked her style and the staff was also very professional, friendly and efficient. It was my first visit here and definitely would recommend.

Cindi Brown Published on Google

Negative experience: If I just rated Mary Kay who cleaned my teeth this would easily be 5 stars. She was absolutely fantastic. However, I really like Dr. Elward, she’s kind and has been thorough in the past but today she spent less than 5 minutes with me, and I felt rushed and unable to ask my questions. She said she needed to get to a staff birthday party. I drove 1 1/2 hour for that appointment but I felt dismissed and unvalued as a patient. But I do believe it was a one off in this case, I feel Dr. Elward does genuinely care about her patients despite this. If I could the receptionist at the front desk it would be -5 stars, very rude person should not be dealing with the public.

Alma O'Brien Published on Google

Fantastic experience: I have to say that hygenist was the BEST I have ever experienced in my 63 years of dental cleaning and check-ups. She was so polite, friendly, informative, gentle and not too chatty. My teeth felt so clean and not scraped. In the past, other hygenist at my former dental offices were too aggressive with the scaping and gum cleaning, leaveing my mouth sore for a few days. This is by far the best dental office I have experienced in my life time. It's not overly decorative but very clean and contempory. The staff and doctor are friendly and professional.

Michael Sanders Published on Google

Fantastic experience: My dentist of 20 years retired and he left some big shoes to fill. I tried a couple of other dentists but they just weren’t quite right for me. I am so happy that one of my friends recommended Dr. Elward. I have been her patient for a few years now. She is so capable, communicates effectively and has hired awesome people. Her office staff is cheerful and friendly. I adore my hygienist, Mary Kay.

Fantastic experience: I recently had an amazing experience at Kelly Elward DDS. Marykay, the dental hygienist was super kind, gentle, and always made sure I was okay. She kept checking in on me, which was really reassuring. One of the best parts was the warm water rinse – it made everything so much better! She also explained what she was doing every step of the way, which I really appreciated. Honestly, it was the best dental experience I've ever had. Thanks, Kelly Elward DDS, and Marykay for the awesome service!

Peter Workman Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Dr. Elward's office is efficient and thorough.

Gina Williams Published on Google

Fantastic experience: This was the first procedure I had done since becoming Dr. Elward’s patient 6 months ago. I had 4 old fillings replaced. The fillings were visible and in very poor condition. Dr. Elward agreed to change plans last minute at my request to do all 4 instead of 2 on one side and then rescheduling the second set. It was not treated as an inconvenience at all. Dr. Elward was very attentive and concerned about my comfort. The work she did was incredible. The fillings to the outside surface of my teeth at the gum line are completely invisible and totally undetectable to my tongue. I am super impressed. I completely trust her to help me make a plan, not rush me to do the plan and then execute the plan with immense care and concern for my well-being. And now I know that she also does incredible work. Amazing.

Pat Cull Published on Google

Sarah Healy Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Integrity- Kind- Informative- did I mention INTEGRITY? This is the dental office you have been looking for. I had been to 2 dentists before this and both tried to upsell me for thousands of dollars. A friend told me about this practice -she drives an hour to see Dr. Elward--thats how good she is- and now I understand. I was treated with care, respect and dignity. Dr. Elward had time for all of my questions and her calm demeanor is so refreshing. Every single person in her (all female) practice is kind, respectful and really competent. Highly recommend. This is the dentist I have been looking for!

Mel Watts Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Office staff is very polite and helpful. Technicians did a great job and were very concerned on about my comfort. DDS Kelly was quite attentive during our first meeting / appointment.

Benjamin Bower Published on Google

Fantastic experience: My initial appointment was for x-rays, review of x-rays, mouth assessment, discussion of my mouth issues (patient and dentist doc), and next steps. The office is exceptionally clean and organized. The staff is very friendly, attentive, and informative. Online paperwork is essential to complete prior to appointment. This helps the office understand insurance, past experience, and how to manage your care moving forward. Cleaning is scheduled for later this week.

Donna Cornell Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Wonderful experience. She listened and heard my concerns. Was willing to provide an alternate solution for an issue with a tooth. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I went into Kelly Elward, DDS’s office with a broken tooth. She and her staff displayed flawless teamwork as she worked to repair my tooth. I left there being able to eat solid food again. I have spoken highly of her in recommending her to my family and friends. If you are looking to switch or need a new dentist, you just found one.

Gregory Medved Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Well, after my initial consultation I felt relief that I had found a new dentist I was comfortable with. Being relatively new in the area it has been rather difficult finding all new service providers of every sort. After meeting with Doctor Elward and most of the staff I feel like finding a new dentist is one less thing I have to do. Great listeners, kind and patient are just some of the things I noticed about them. Looking forward to seeing them again!
