R. W. (Verified Patient)

Great staff! Made sure I was comfortable throughout the procedure.

J. C. (Verified Patient)

From the receptionist and the assistants to Dr. Fugate it was a great experience. Friendly, professional, amd courteous staff. Overall I would highly recommend this practice for you and your family. I recently had another appointment for a rather hasty issue. A filling fell out and was drastically affecting my ability to eat. I go through this office as part of the VA Community Care System. So, sometimes issues can arrive with the VA approval process for treatment and whatnot. Just takes a while at times. This issue was something however that needed to be addressed rather quickly. I called Vonore Dental and informed them of the situation with the filling. They scheduled me the same day and fixed the issue. Hands down the best dentist I have been to since I was a child. I know this is a rather long comment, but these words do not compare to the amount of professionalism, courtesy, and good nature of this practice as a whole. If looking for a new dentist, a staff that treats you with kindness and respect, or just frustrated with the one you currently have. I suggest that you look into becoming a new patient at Vonore Dental.

K. W. (Verified Patient)

Have been seeing Dr. Fugate and his team for several years now. Talk about a GREAT EXPERIENCE! His girls are all so welcoming and helpful! Dr. Fugate spends time with you and will explain anything that I need. Going to the dentist is never easy but they make it enjoyable, pain free, and fun!

J. O. (Verified Patient)

These people are the ultimate in professional dental care. Emily the hygienist is extremely personable caring and efficient. Then Dr. Eric comes in to oversee the cleaning and whatever else is going on. He is also personable and caring as well as knowledgeable. I couldn’t be happier with this group- don’t change a thing guys…it’s all good right where it is!

W. T. (Verified Patient)

Very professional office and friendly staff. Dentist always gives options.

C. S. (Verified Patient)

Dr. Fugate is doing it right. From membership plans to text reminders to excellent and amazing staff to the latest and greatest equipment, Vonore Dental is the best. I jokingly call his office a Dental Spa because they treat you so well. Keep up the great work Dr. Fugate.
