I recently went into Dr. McNeil for a standard teeth cleaning and check-up. I had been to another dentist in close proximity to his office for a few visits, but was not very impressed. I decided to try Midvale Family Dental after talking with a good friend who had absolutely glowing reviews from his office. The dental hygienist, Mykell was excellent. Very gentle and thorough. I was ready to be hit up for all of the extra treatments/ charges that accompanied a teeth cleaning as happened at my previous dentist. No such offers or pressures to add additional non-insurance covered treatments. A welcome change to have a straight forward, "what you really need" care instead of being nickled and dimed. Unfortunately I had a small cavity, Dr. McNeil took care of it right then, in less than 15 minutes. No need to schedule another appointment. Dr. McNeil was able to numb me in one shot, that was hardly felt, and no pain throughout the drilling. And since it was only one well placed shot, I had feeling back in less than 1hour. Overall, a great experience and night and day difference from my previous dentist. So glad I made the change. Excellent quality care!
