"Dr. Frederick did an amazing job on my extraction! All of the ladies in the office and the nurses were SO kind. I was in and out within an hour. I also really appreciate Dr. Frederick listening to my concerns about my past reactions to sedation (when I had my wisdom teeth out years ago). With the info I gave him, he changed some medications for me and my recovery has been so much smoother this go around. Highly recommend! Also, Dr. McIlwain removed my wisdom teeth years ago and he was just as wonderful!"

"I was recommended to Dr. Mcilwain and I am so grateful for the recommendation. The staff and nurses were amazing. They were comforting and helpful. Dr. Mcilwain is very skilled and helped me tremendously. Everyone spoke to me in a way I could understand - not overloading me with jargon and leaving me to figure it out in my own. I appreciate everything they did for me to help. At first, I hated the long drive, but it was ever so worth it to have my issue solved. I will be forever be appreciative they took me on. Thank you!"

"9 months ago we had a very unpleasant experience with Dr. McIlwain. He barely spoke to us when he walked in the door, was unfriendly when he did, didn't want to answer questions, and even got up and walked out on us mid-conversation and never came back. Today we went and he was nice, friendly, joked around, told us stories about his childhood and was like a totally different person. I was shocked. I don't know which side of him is normal, but he was very nice today and we had a fine experience. Maybe he just had a bad day last time, I don't know. I had never had a doctor be so rude to me before the first time we went, but today was fine. The office staff were fine both times."

"I went to see Dr McIlwain for a consult. He was very friendly but professional. Front office staff wasn’t the friendliest but doesn’t warrant the unfriendly reviews that I’ve noticed. The nurses were friendly. Everything was in a timely manner. I would recommend this dentist to anyone."
