Dr. John Skellenger, DDS

I used to fall asleep at the dentist before I went here. This guy does not know how to use anesthesia. This guy does not communicate properly because he cannot hear properly because he is old as dirt. Has the dental certificate from the 70s on the wall. The VA sends veterans here because he is dirt cheap. This man will traumatize you while he works on more than one patient at a time. This man will botch your dental procedures and not listen to how much pain you are in. Beware of this mans antiquated practice. After six visits I'm going to see another dentist about the original issue, hopefully it's not too infected. You will be in the worst pain of your life while this guy's out fishing.

I am basing my review of 1 star based on their performing practice on a family friend of ours who was in his care. When working with veterans with PTSD you need to not only take in the consideration for their mental comfort but physical as well for they go hand in hand. During their visit their needs and concerns were not properly met from the lack of listening (probably due to old age? Or the lack of caring) The VA sends our vets to this dentist because his practice for them is pretty cheap but the service received was felt to be outdated. The dentist has a certificate from the 70’s on display but updated practice is unknown and is felt that may be part of the problem. The anesthesia used during the appointment was inefficient and when they tried to voice concerns their needs were not met to help make them more comfortable which caused a considerable amount of pain and discomfort during the procedure which then carried into the after care still giving them no comfort resulting in a botched outcome. They also showed poor communication skills in describing needed care and information about dental care that was being received. It is strongly advised you seek another dentist for not only your mental comfort but long term health for your teeth as well.

I have been visiting Dr. Skellenger for over 25 years. He has treated my issues with the utmost care and consideration, kept me informed of options, and has performed all procedures from small fillings to crowns in a most professional manner. His staff is to be commended for their care and professionalism. I am very pleased with their services.
