PATIENT REVIEWS

I just had to review this place for it’s excellence. It’s long overdue. I was terrified to get the deep cleaning that had always been recommended by every dentist I’ve ever been to. They had always described it as cutting my gums apart and getting in there to the bone. Arrowhead Dental Group has innovative technologies and staff who can be thorough and efficient who are highly trained in specific areas. Not only was it faster than I had anticipated, she really got in there, gently and assured my comfort with local and topical medications. It was the most incredible feeling to have clean teeth and gums and my road to a completely healthy mouth is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. The staff was wonderful! I was being treated by  Sarah Bielawski, who specializes in gum disease and is laser certified. She was so gentle and made sure that I was comfortable the entire time. She truly cares about her patients. My daughter needed a cleaning before her orthodontist would change her wire again and the place I had an appointment with cancelled on me when I showed up and she was due the next day to have her wire done. I panicked and went here to Arrowhead Dental Group, they were done for the day and had no available appointments. I got a little choked up and that is when Dr. McIver walked out to the front. He asked what the issue was and the staff sympathetically told him and he didn’t hesitate at all and stayed late and took her in and cleaned her teeth. He didn’t seem rushed, he made us feel right at home. He was my hero for the day! No matter what dental needs you may have, the staff here makes it worth going to this location. They know how to take care of their patients. I’m so grateful.

I first came here 3 years ago because I had a groupon and have stayed ever since! The doctor is really nice and I love Amber the dental hygienist.  They are very good about keeping up with appointment and also accept walk-ins.  For those without insurance they have a discount plan that you can sign up for.  I think it’s called smile dental or something like that. I’ve been using the discount plan because the prices are cheaper than my company’s dental plan.   I wouldn’t say this is the cheapest dentist I’ve been to but it’s definitely been the most painless. ^^  All in all I’ve been very pleased with the experience.

After my retainer broke during our move from California, I came here hoping for a replacement. What I got in return was so much more than expected. The staff and the orthodontist were exceptional! Not only did I receive my new retainer within an hour but the staff was extremely polite, professional and enjoyable. Thank you for making me feel so welcome and providing outstanding customer service.

I am confused how people are saying they were hustled or pressured into anything here. I have been here a couple times and they actually type up a very easy to understand breakdown of all services covered that I though was incredibly transparent. They have made a couple small mistakes but were eager to fix and make it right. To err is human so no complaints here. Very friendly staff and talented staff.

I was referred here by my sister after moving to Phoenix from Chicago.  No one gets too excited about a dental visit….. This office made me feel comfortable and welcome from the front desk, X-rays, cleaning and exam!  The entire office culture is a fun pleasant atmosphere, which makes what can be an anxious visit comfortable. I’m switching insurance providers after my move, and they were very fair on the pricing for the dental work I needed! Finally they are dialed into the new media world of online appt setting, follow up and patient registration.  Solid!

My new favorite place, just went there today and DR. MCIVER is the best. As many of you have posted, he really is good. No feeling in the shot to numb the gums, all staff members are amazing except for 1 I didn’t care for. Kind of ditsy and kept repeating herself. Other than that, my dental assistant was way cool, she has the red in her ponytail and Disney head cover and glasses, she is talkative and friendly and I wouldn’t have wanted any other pair (Dr. Mciver and the Disney hat) working on my teeth. They did it soo fast and soo painless and soo flawlessly. The lady that came in to do the deep cleaning was awesome as well. Jen at the front desk is super friendly and understanding as well. I loved it all. They don’t give you a HUGE price sheet and that overwhelming feeling, they do what’s important first and then figure out what is going to be affordable by helping with a payment plan. Thank you Arrowhead Dental Group, my fear of Dentists is less frightful.

Love love loooove this place! My family & I have been coming here for several years & have had nothing but great experiences. Considering how much I hate the dentist, I never mind coming in here because the front desk ladies are so kind & welcoming & the hygienists & assistants are so comforting & informative. The dentist himself is so personable & nice, I don’t mind having a cavity too much when I know I get to come here.

Dr Mciver was absolutely amazing with my daughter who is 12. She has been dreading this day for a month crying at even the mention of getting her baby teeth removed. When the doctor came in he was friendly and was able to calm her down with in seconds by talking with her. He explained everything to her and kept talking through the whole process which was comforting to her. Thank you so much!

I really love this place. My son and I have been going here for years. I feel like everyone in the office goes above & beyond. When you walk in your greeted warmly. The women in the front office are very nice & work well together. I never have to wait hours to be seen. They are always on time, informative, friendly and professional, they will treat you like family. Every time I walk in it’s like they are so happy to see my son and I!! Makes it very comfortable for the patient; you forget your in a dental office. I just want to take the time and write this review because truly they deserve the recognition for being so awesome to their patients and taking the time that’s necessary to make everyone feel so comfortable. Thank you Michelle Hallmark the office manager and your amazing team from the bottom of my heart for making me feel right at home. You can’t be praised enough when you do such a remarkable job and maintain a reputation this good.

This is the best Dental office I’ve been to. The front desk ladies are very friendly and helpful, the Dentist is thorough and near painless, and the dental hygenists do a wonderful job of cleaning my teeth.  I’m an ex-smoker and had a lot of stains, they cleaned them up so that you wouldn’t know I ever smoked. A great experience and I would recommend them highly.

Today 1/25/17 I had an appointment today with Dr. John McIver, Arrowhead Dental Group .  I had not been to the dentist in a few years between Dr. McIver and his staff they made me feel very comfortable. The office atmosphere and their use of high technology made everything easy. I was able to get as many of the services I needed done today, if I wished. Their professionalism and personalize care will have me recommended them to all my family and friends. Thanks Dr. McIver for an awesome experience. Your new patient-
Donna O’.

Our family of five have been going here for 3+ years and we have been very happy with our experience.  Everyone here is friendly and good at what they do.  If something is not perfect they will make it right.  They keep things on schedule and will work around yours.

I am writing of my experience with Dr. McIver and his staff.  The Dr. is extremely professional.  He is knowledgeable and courteous.  I did not feel that I was up sold on anything.  It is my choice what procedure I have done.  They can only inform  us of what is best for our teeth.  It is our choice to use their service.  My experience was a five star with the Doc.  I went back yesterday and yes I got upsold on a flouride treatment for exposed roots.  It was reasonable in my opinion being only $30.00.  They also treated my gums with the laser for $25.00.  These were two options that my insurance wouldn’t pay for and I decided I would.  No arm twisting from them.  I love their office it is clean and well staffed.  Heidi is usually the one I speak with about future care and appointments and she is awesome!  I would highly recommend this office and staff to anyone looking for the latest and greatest in technology.  They even make crowns on the spot if needed.  They are GREAT!

It was by far the best trip to a dentist I’ve ever had! This was my first time going to a dentist in az and I just found this place on my insurances website and it was close to home. It was so easy to schedule an appt and the staff was so helpful and friendly . The dentist was so thorough and also friendly. He did recommend some stuff such as a night guard, they told me the price I said I couldn’t afford it right now and they in no way forced or pushed me to do it now. They were sympathetic to my situation and in no way pushed me just to make money. I was really pleased and will definitely go back.

Amazing dental office!!  They have always taken great care of me and are respectful of one’s financial situation.  Recently broke a tooth and they were able to get me in the very next day.  Received a same day crown – very long visit but I don’t have to go back again!!  No temporary crown and waiting three weeks for the real crown!!  Staff is always great and very friendly.  Highly recommend them.

I visit AZ at least 4-5 times a year to see family and I was told by a family member that I should go to this dental office.  I live in a small town in Utah and have not been satisfied with the dentistry that I have been receiving.  I knew I needed a crown replaced and learned that I could have a new one within hours instead of 2 wks!  It was an amazing experience.  Not only did I receive a new crown (that fits perfectly!), I received valuable information about my gum conditions from the doctor and hygenist- I have beginnings of periodontal disease.  I also learned it is hereditary (mother lost all her teeth in her 30s).  I had a deep cleaning which I have never had before and was told to prevent further recession, I need to have this type of cleaning at least 4 times/yr.  I was so impressed with the team of professionals at this office…it is worth travelling to another state to receive good dentistry!  Thank you Arrowhead Dental Group!.

This place was awesome.  Only a 15 minute wait (which I have never experienced at any dental office) and the staff was awesome.  Very personal, let you know exactly what was needed in priority of work needed. No pressure and very detailed in explaining exactly what was needed and cost.  Very knowledgeable about the insurance as well. This was the best experience I have ever had at a dental facility. I would recommend these folks to anyone.

Absolute BEST dental office, hands down!  The entire staff is extremely helpful and friendly. They go above and beyond to help and worked with me to make sure I could get what I needed done, plus more! Dr. McIver is wonderful! He is so calm, comforting, and compassionate. I feel they are perfectionist in the best way possible, they want to be accurate and efficient while not having you wait a long time, which I have never experienced before this office. They truly care about you as a person not just as a client/patient! They gave me a new chance at feeling like a beautiful mama and have the confidence back to feel wonderful everyday. O find myself smiling all the time now and it feels so wonderful! Can’t thank Dr. McIver, Natalie, Michelle, and the entire staff for making my dream possible to achieve. Actually beyond expectations, this reality is amazing! Thank you!

From the front office to the hygienist chair, this was an amazing experience. They really listen to concerns and it’s obvious they work hard to make it an enjoyable experience. This is the gentlest cleaning I’ve had in years. My whole family will be switching to Arrowhead Dental!

This was my third visit to this dentistry. They are wonderful, friendly and give you all the options and don’t force it down your throat. Each time I go, they recommend something or another and even if I turn it down, they understand. Their staff is well picked and they do a great job cleaning and letting you know what’s going on with your teeth. I don’t know why this place only has one star, all of the good, useful reviews are being filtered so please read those before you take the 3, one-starred reviews to heart. This really is a good place that deserves to be recognized.

Dr. McIver is fantastic! I’m very analytical about my dental experiences (as you’ll see in this review) and I have to say Arrowhead Dental is exceptional! They provided a great patient experience with a clean office, updated technology, and a caring staff. Dr. McIver’s checkups are very thorough. He doesn’t just tap on your teeth and leave, he makes sure your whole mouth and jaw muscles are working properly and discusses every detail in your x-rays or any concerns he or you might have about your teeth. I felt very well taken care of during his competent, professional, and friendly exams. The hygienists were always gentle and helpful in offering advice for home care to prevent teeth problems. My teeth felt so clean and healthy after every appointment–that makes a big difference for me. Why go to your dentist if your teeth aren’t going to feel clean afterward? The office staff was simple to deal with–easy to make appointments, easy to pay, and friendly customer service. The waiting room was clean and comfortable. The one thing good but also potentially bad to be aware of about Arrowhead Dental is they take walk in patients… or at least did when I was there. This can make things great for new patients, but probably adds to the workload of the staff and may cause inconvenience for scheduled patients. I never had an issue though. I’m not sure how they do it, but they somehow make it work. Another thing I found unique about them is they have one hygienist who just did x-rays (did a great job–accurate, quick, gentle, didn’t use those pesty cardboard things) and a different hygienist who cleans your teeth and sometimes that hygienist might get switched out mid-shift as well. So occasionally you can get a lot of advice about your teeth from different people in one visit. I appreciated that. Some might prefer to have the same hygienist throughout though and I bet they’d accommodate for that. My only suggestion for improvement is the dental rooms could have better interior decorating. On my first visit I was a little concerned staring at the picture less walls which I believe were a yucky green color. I thought, “Oh no! If they don’t care about their walls, maybe they won’t care about me! What am I getting myself into?!” But of course everything went fine. I know decorations aren’t as important as patient care, but I also believe a warm atmosphere can go a long way and instill more confidence in people. I appreciated though that the dental chair faced away from all the cabinets and equipment and patients don’t get overwhelmed seeing stuff left out on the counters when they come in. Disclaimer: I didn’t have any cavities filled with Dr. McIver so I can’t offer much advice there, but the overall patient experience was great for me. I would’ve been very comfortable having more extensive work done on my teeth at that office. I’ve had negative experiences with fillings in the past, but Dr. McIver’s office is the kind of office that follows the right procedures and makes sure you’re happy when you leave. My husband went in more frequently to have periodontal treatment on his teeth and he never had a negative experience. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Arrowhead Dental to anyone. We’ve since moved away and I really miss going to Arrowhead Dental. I actually enjoyed going to the dentist! Thank you Dr. McIver and staff!

I had a WONDERFUL experience at this dental office!! the receptionist was extremely kind to me and assisted me in finding a way to pay for my dental without pulling out several hundred dollars to get it done and i was put on a really great dental plan with no out of pocket cost!! had free xray and exams done. waited all of 10 minutes to be seen. the doctor was very kind in assisting me in what i needed done! felt very comfortable!

My kids were scared to death of the dentist, thanks to previous bad experiences.  Thank God and my parents (they referred us) for this dentist office. Their Pediatric dentist made my petrified children relax and have fun and not scream and cry like the other dentists did.  Plus me and my husband go see the regular dentist here and they are just as awesome. Seriously, I couldn’t have asked for a better dental group, plus they work with you on the money, which in this economy is very helpful.  I will and have recommend this dental group to anyone that needs a dentist from now on.

Really puzzled by negative reviews for Arrowhead Dental. For me it was the best dentist experience I’ve ever had. Staff at all levels are courteous and capable. There were no surprises, every phase of my treatment was clearly explained, from expected costs and insurance issues, the procedures I would undergo, and my treatment plan (and costs) for future visits. Five enthusiastic stars.

Trying to find a new dentist is like trying to find a new stylist lol. I love my teeth and odd i love going to the dentist (probably bc I have zero cavities). Finally finding a dentist who the dental hygienist are funny they don’t dig away at your gums. All the ladies who were in the room today were so awesome I’m sure mainly bc I have my little one with me and who doesn’t love a baby. They were all helping me while I got my teeth cleaned and checked making joke we all were just having a great time. The dentist she was great tooo well again bc i have zero cavities. I’ll be back in 6 months for my check up.

Had an appointment at the end of day and still received great service and was very happy with the entire staff.  I had a deep cleaning and my teeth feel great!! I have already referred family and friends here and will continue to do future appointments here. The dr and hygienist explained everything to me so I could understand.

Been going to Arrowhead dental over 8 years. Friendly staff, Dr.Mciver is a caring doctor. Just recently took my 2 year old daughter to see Dr. Katie the pediatric doctor she received great care and knows how to handle ascreaming 2 year old. I recommend Arrowhead Dental to all my family and friends..

I would recommend Arrowhead to anyone looking to get dental work done. I can not praise this dentist office enough. Dr. McIver needs a mention because he by far was the BEST at giving a numbing shot EVER. I barely felt a thing because we all know thats what you dread most about a dentist visit. From entering to leaving, this has been the best dentist experience I have ever had. From phone call to checking in at the desk with a welcoming smile, getting x-rays with the wonderful dentist assistant, sharing a laugh through performing dental work with the doctor and being welcomed back as I walked out the door, I had a smile on my face the whole time. I look forward to returning for future dental needs. Thanks!

My kids started coming here first and have had excellent care ! I recently needed a root canal and was very nervous about the whole process .. Everyone was so professional and kind , constantly checking my pain and anxiety . I absolutely love this place and will continue to go here.

Instead of paying big bucks for the old style crown where they drill, put on a temporary crown, bring you back in a week for the final crown, they did it with a better porcelain crown in one hour.  For a lot less than what my old dentist wanted for the old style.  Staff is great, friendly, knowledgable, efficient.  For those who don’t have insurance, go here.  Better prices, better service, better product.

Most incredible dental office! Outstanding overall! I was in and out within 1 hour and I had 1 onlay and a filling done. I was back to work so quickly….I appreciate that so much! Dr. McIver is truly amazing! His delivery of anesthesia was so awesome. I never felt a thing! Love that! His staff is also super professional, timely, and friendly. I was like I was hanging out with friends. I enjoyed my experience so much that I had to write a review. Oh yes.. The PRICE! Almost too good to be true. The work feels and looks awesome. I didn’t pay very much for OUTSTANDING dental work and experience. I live in Scottsdale but will drive to Peoria to have Dr. McIver and staff take care of me and my family! LOVE THIS OFFICE!

The dentist (name escapes me) excellent and very kind and helpful answered all my questions and gave ideas regarding continuing treatment along with his suggestions as to the treatment i had considered, even to say that another dentist might address my concerns as a second opinion. Over all this office is outstanding.

Great receptionists who have your best interests at heart. They are on time and flexible. They’ll get you in asap for cavities and crowns etc. They don’t try to push you to do more than you want but they definitely want make you feel like they have your best interests at heart. As someone who is still getting used to insurances and financial planning when it comes to medical things they really helped walk me through everything and made sure I understood the prices and plan for my oral health.

I had the best experience here! Dr. McIver is an amazing dentist and is very honest and upfront about any of mine and my families dental needs. The pediatric dentist Dr. Katie was so phenomenal with my son who has a fear of dentists. She was patient, caring and explained in detail the treatment my son was going to be having done, which was so comforting. The whole team is extremely professional, helpful and patient! So glad I found this office! I highly recommend them to everyone!

I have not smiled without my hand in front of my mouth for 15yrs thank you so much for making me smile again! A special thank you to Dr. McIver you are a great man I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
