Tina M.

Nearly three years ago our family moved to Oregon from California. Starting over in a new place can be an overwhelming task. Choosing a new dentist is no exception. Our kids have always been a bit anxious about visits to the dentist. We asked several people and heard very positive comments about Dr Stones and his staff. We became patients and have been nothing short of pleased with the expert care we have received. From the minute you walk in their front door the staff is friendly, professional and always wear a smile! Dr Stones is patient and kind and is wonderful with children and adults alike. The whole staff works as a great team. They go the extra mile to make sure my kids, my husband and I always have a positive experience. I feel confident that our dental care is in the best hands and would highly recommend Stones Family Dental.

Dr Stones has a great personality and always makes you feel at ease. His staff is very friendly and takes care of you. My last visit they were able to get me in right away and replace the missing filling in one visit.

Skye M.

"I called in because of a toothache - Was scheduled right away. It was determined I needed a root canal - Procedures were explained clearly; an appointment was set for about a week later - The next day I was notified of the availability of a more immediate opening. The care exhibited for a new patient was laudable. I recommend the entire team highly."

Paul K.

Everything went well. Appointment started on time. Within a couple of hours I was completely recovered.

Top of the line technologies that made my experience so rewarding. I was home in two hours with a crown on a split tooth and side filings that match the regular surface color. Really impressed with the work done.

I wanted to take a moment of your time to thank you for taking our 5th grader, on such short notice, into your care. Our employee, that escorted her on her visit, expressed her gratitude to you and your staff for your expert assistance. Thank you very much for your help.

"The staff at Stones Family Dental always makes me feel welcome and are so friendly. They are very good at what they do."

Kirsten U.

I've never had a crown in my mouth and at age 55+ :-) I was skeptical. The only thing that still gives me discomfort is getting the shots to numb, but once that took effect, it was quite the experience and everything was explained as it happened. I thank Dr Stone and his assistant Teri who is such a joy to have by one's side when nervous for making this visit such an awesome one. Now I want more crowns :-)

"My son was not looking forward to having a tooth pulled, but was relieved by how comfortable the staff made him. He was more upset with having to eat "soft" foods than the extraction itself. Thank you!!!"

Cherie B.

"I wish to give great thanks to Dr. Marcus Stones, who provided emergency services to a toothache I had while my regular dentist was out of town. I called him late Friday night when I could not take the pain any longer. He saw me first thing the next morning (Saturday, while his office was closed and during an ice storm, I might add) and treated my emergency. Thanks very much; I am very grateful for your professional and kind services in my time of need."

I just wanted to thank you for taking the time to show me how dentistry works. I had this type of career on my mind for a while, and you gave me a chance to see how interesting this field can be! I really enjoyed all the hands on activity used in dentistry. This job shadow gave me a clear view on where I see myself in twenty years. I just wanted to thank you again for the wonderful experience, and doing such a great job at explaining everything.

I really appreciate the staff always being on time so I do not have to wait! Thank you!

Alan D.

I was in on Wednesday 4/12. The office staff are always warm and welcoming. I enjoyed meeting Dianne, the new hygienist, who seems to be kind and very efficient (I have been flossing and using my little brushes like crazy!). The only downside was that I could not see Dr. Stones, but I know that he was busy in surgery. Thanks to all . . . Debbie

Debbie W.

Great as always! I really like the staff at Dr. Stones. Visiting the dentist is an event I look forward to.

Paul K.

Thank you so much for the cheery little bouquet. I am still enjoying it in my kitchen window. All of you are a very special group and you make each of our appointments a pleasure.

Iona & Gaile N.

I have had Dodie cleaning my teeth for the last 21 years - it was a surprise to come and find that she had moved on. Dianne introduced herself - explained about the change and was very pleasant. She did a very nice job cleaning my teeth and asking many questions about what has gone on over the years with my teeth (a lot). I will miss my chats with Dodi but now I have someone new to learn about. :0)

Kaethe A.

"All the staff are kind and considerate. I always feel comfortable there. I feel they treat you in a professional manner and are aware of your needs."

Great visit as always. Everyone is always so helpful and friendly. Thanks to Kathy for being patient in getting my next appointments made. Sorry for my flub-up. I think Diana represents your practice very well. She was friendly, knowledgeable and did a great job. I think she's a keeper.

Terry M.

I would recommend your services.

Bill E.

"Doctor Stones and his staff provide a comfortable, friendly atmosphere. Doctor Stones patiently worked with me to adjust the bite on two crowns that were done by another dentist. After several adjustments it became clear that the crowns needed to be replaced. The crowns that he made for me fit perfectly the first time! Doctor Stones' precision, patience and friendly manner make a trip to the dentist a pleasant experience."

Dianne J.

This recent appointment, and those I have had since switching to Stones Family Dental two years ago, have all been amazing. Dr. Stones' team has almost always started my cleaning within 15-minutes, even when I arrive early. Yesterday, they did X-Rays, a cleaning, fluoride treatment, and an inspection. It went like clockwork, and I was only there for 30-minutes. I doubt you will find a group of people more genuinely happy to have your business, or who will value your time as much as their own. I highly recommend Stones Family Dental to others. My only compensation for this has been great service and clean, healthy teeth.

Scott B.

"The staff are very professional and care about their patients."

Rhonda B.

I just wanted to take a quick minute and congratulate you on your choice of employees! I just got a phone call from Terry asking about my well being after the crown! Just the thought that somebody would do that is very refreshing and appreciated! But its not just the phone call, I've enjoyed treatments in your office in general (as much as they can be enjoyed, and that's largely due to the quality of people you've decided to make part of your venture! Again, thanks for running such an awesome outfit and please extend that sentiment to your employees!

Massimo "Mac" B.

"For over 30 years I have looked forward to going to Dr. Papworth’s office for my dental care. I knew I would be greeted warmly by my dental family and receive wonderful, gentle, dental care. It was the same for my daughters Amy and Sara. My most recent visit was a little different. I was nervous and felt very uncertain about what to expect. You explained your justified concerns and listened to my fears. You put me at ease and found a way to make things work for both of us. You and Terry were amazingly compassionate, patient, and professional. You have earned my complete respect and appreciation. Now I look forward to going to Dr. Stones’ office for my dental care…of course Dodie and Terry help also!"

"I have never minded going to the dentist except for my TMJ .... BUT ...... I have never been to any dental office anywhere where everyone is so pleasant! Ya'll are just nice people!"

Pat J.

After seeing the positive reviews, I decided to give Stones Family Dental a try. I was very impressed by all of the staff members and especially to the clinic's attention to detail. Being in the health care field myself, I was pleasantly surprised to see how in depth not only the intake forms were, but also the actual evaluation. A few days after my appointment I received a card thanking me for coming and also had reference to the topics we had talked about during my eval that weren't even related to dentistry such as my upcoming wedding. I hope to return for years to come!

I highly recommend Stones Family Dental. After years of suffering, pain, and severe dental problems, I went to Dr Stones to have my teeth removed and get dentures. From the very start I was very pleased with the staff, and especially with Dr Stones. He did a fabulous job from start to finish. He extracted my teeth quickly and with minimal pain. He did a great job of supplying his lab with the information they needed to construct my dentures. I LOVE my new teeth. They look very natural, and fit my face perfectly. Everyone’s reaction to my new look has been a universal “WOW”! I haven’t even had my hard re-line done yet, and am already very pleased with the fit and function of my new teeth. I can hardly wait to see how well they perform when I have them re-lined in a few months from now. Now I can smile again, in fact I almost drive people crazy as I am smiling most of the time now. Thank you so much for your staff and a job well done!
