Samantha and her entire staff were amazing. The office is so nice and it was truly a pleasant experience. AND... they have a therapy dog who will make your day!!!

Dr. Hollinger was very friendly and caring! Even though I just went into to have my broken teeth checked and fixed at a later date, she didn't want to let me leave in pain so she immediately performed the root canal I needed. Her office also worked with me to schedule and financially plan out all of the steps necessary to completely fix my 2 broken teeth, at a rate I was comfortable with.

Dr. Hollinger knows her stuff. The staff at Tru was very nice and attentive. Really cute space too

Every team member was patient with my questions and went the extra mile to make me feel at ease (I was very nervous after a terrible dental experience at another dentist). They are patient and meticulous, with great tools and technology and true customer care.

Such a great atmosphere and friendly staff. Super informative too!

I would give more than 5 stars if that was an option! From scheduling an appointment, to check in, and throughout the whole experience the entire staff was nice and friendly. They took their time to explain everything from start to finish. I'm usually very nervous and anxious about going to the dentist or having any dental work done but they all made it very relaxing and were all amazing! I would totally recommend TRU Dentistry!

I had a great experience with Dr. Hollinger and her team! Everyone was super nice and took the time to walk me through everything they were doing. Would definitely recommend!

Very pleasant and professional. They did an excellent job explaining things and working with me about payment.

The staff at TRU Dentistry are very friendly and made visiting the dentist actually pleasant! Dr. Hollinger was quick and explained things clearly, and I had the most gentle polish I've ever received.

Very friendly, she cared about me on the first visit. I am definitely staying with her

great experience and friendly staff

Everything went well for my routine cleaning! I expressed interest in Invisalign to fix a few teeth that moved after having braces, and they offered to scan all my teeth and told me more about that which was cool to see! I also appreciated how someone came in to review the costs for the appointments before they started to make sure I understood what I would be charged for & adjust if needed. Everyone was very friendly!

Good quick and efficient

I LOVED LOVED them. They walked me through everything and it felt very warm and inviting. I definitely would like to call out Alex the front desk Admin. He was very helpful and attentive.

Great, friendly and professional! I really like this place. They provide all the information needed to make a decision on treatment, not just what you need but why you need it.

They were very informative and pleasant people. I didn’t feel pressured in any way for treatments I don’t need. I would highly recommend this dentist!

Everybody is super sweet, super thorough from the hygienist, office manager & Dr. Hollinger. They explained everything in depth to me & I love how they took an approach of education vs selling me. It was honestly one of the best dentist experiences I've ever had!

Amazing people. Quick service and have great recommendations. I haven't been to a dentist for several years and they made it a really welcoming and educational process 😊

Amazing office and super friendly staff. Great experience overall.

I haven't gone to the dentist in awhile, and I was so thankful to book with Samantha. She was kind, walked me through the process, and eased the anxiety with headphones playing my favorite music. She followed up the next day to make sure everything was okay too! I would definitely recommend booking an appointment with her.

This office was wonderful! It's modern, clean, and overall feels much more welcoming and up-to-date than most dentist offices that feel like they're straight from the 70s. The staff were all so kind and helpful and put me at ease, a remarkable feat for someone who does NOT like the dentist. They were able to help me clearly understand my billing and insurance. Thank you Dr. Hollinger and staff!

Great experience! The whole staff was very knowledgeable

Was quickly treated and prompt in answering any questions I had. The teeth cleaning was alittle painful but when is a dentist visit really that comfortable. Overall a great experience and will continue to use TRU

Genuine service, knowledgeable and friendly

Samantha and her team were very nice and welcoming. The office is very nice and clean. The team also took the time to explain each procedure in detail and answered every question I had. Very satisfied!

Great work! She fixed a cavity without numbing anything. Clean and relaxing office and friendly staff.

Was a very seamless experience. Dr. Hollinger was great - but the whole office/ visit experience (thanks to Alex the Director of Operations) was what really made this an overall 5-star experience.

Samantha was fabulous! She was kind, informative, and her whole team is great! :) The whole experience was fast, and I got everything I needed.

My hygienist (sorry, blanking on her name) was very friendly and did a good job of being careful around the sensitive areas I had told her about at the start. The appointment was a little longer than expected, but that's mostly because I was a new patient so there was extra paperwork and x-rays. I would have appreciated a heads up that the gum irrigation they prescribed was not covered by insurance and cost $40 out of pocket. They did give me a cost breakdown before applying the flouride treatment and sending me on my way. I would suggest to any new patients that you make sure to review this carefully before approving it. Had I done so, I would have turned down the $5 tongue scraper they included in my "goodie bag". Aside from that, it was a good experience. As I mentioned previously, their staff was incredibly friendly. Also, their facilities and equipment were clean and modern, and I was comfortable throughout the whole process.

I felt so comfortable with Dr. Hollinger! Her office is clean and beautiful! She is professional and approachable. She explained everything going on with my teeth and gums and I already scheduled my next appointment with her!
