Marks Family Dentistry

This is my honest review of Donald Marks Family Dentistry as someone who is terrified of any and all dental work. I reached out as a new patient initially as I had just found a steady job in the State College area after graduation and I was having some inflammation of my gum and jaw from my wisdom teeth. The front office was amazing in gathering my information and helping me schedule as soon as possible.

I am truly thankful for their effort in fitting me into their busy schedule. Upon arrival, the office had a very calming presence and I was greeted right away. The nurse/hygienist/doctor (I was still a bit nervous so I am so sorry that I forgot your name/title) where she went over my forms, allergies, and concerns. Since my jaw was swollen, it was hard for me to open my mouth so the doctor was nice enough to come in to personally examine me instead of forcing the xray into my mouth where it would have caused a lot of discomfort, which I was highly thankful for.

As someone who is not familiar with dental terms and what might cause pain, the doctor was very patient with my questions and explained everything to me clearly and told me what he was doing and how he was going to do it. Both the doctor and hygienist truly went above and beyond what they had to do in talking to me about the process and helping me schedule an oral surgeon for my wisdom teeth removal.

They were also extremely kind and patient in explaining what I could do in the main time to keep the area clean and as comfortable as possible. This was the best dental experience that I have had ever and I look forward to returning for my next cleaning appointment. Big shoutout to this amazing office for helping me out. Thank you!

I had my first appointment at Dr Marks office today, and it was wonderful! Morgan is a fantastic hygienist. She took the time to make sure that my teeth were clean and polished. Dr Marks' exam was thorough and he made me feel like a valued patient. I would HIGHLY recommend this practice. Nothing to be afraid of here. Fantastic people and great service. Thanks again!

First time coming here and the staff was great. Dentist was timely, cleaning was easy and even with out of network insurance, I was surprised by the affordable cost. If you're concerned about covid, or any health issues the dentist is happy to sit and chat with you. I've never had a dentist sit with me for more than a few minutes to check my teeth

Dr. Marks treated me today with great results in just a few hours of notice although his schedule was completely full. All my visits with him for dental care and sleep apnea problems over the years have been just great. I am grateful for his expert knowledge and excellent practice and always caring accommodations. He is always at the forefront of learning new techniques and bringing in new appliances for providing the best service possible to his patients.

Without reservation, I would recommend this dental practice. Dr. Marks has been my dentist for the past 8 months. I have had extensive work done that allows me to evaluate more than a biannual check-up and teeth cleaning. Dr. Marks is gentle and thorough and is interested in my dental health, wellbeing, and expectations. The practice appears to use top-of-the-line digital technology to assist in innovative procedures and evaluations. Dr. Marks and staff make sure you feel welcome, cared for, and comfortable.

The office is beautifully and serenely decorated. The greenery and open feel is warmly welcoming while maintaining privacy. Thank you Dr. Marks and staff for providing me with confidence in my dental care in 2021 and for the years to follow! Thank you again, Regina.

Dr. Marks and staff run a very professional operation. Dr. Marks is always continuing his dental education and offers the newest treatments. Dr. Marks spends time with you, asks questions, explains procedures and processes and is genuine and sincere. I have the best dentist in State College

Upon entering Dr. Marks office I was personally greeted and taken directly to my room. They are doing a great job at keeping everything clean and tidy, yet very personable and attentive. I also am a working mother that sometimes has to take my 3 year old in to the office and they are very good at accommodating my crazy schedule and needs while he is with me.

They have always informed me of what is going on in my mouth, what I can be doing and what to look for. Lindsey is my dental hygienist there as well and she does amazing! Thank you all!

This was my first experience with this dentist as I recently moved to the area and it couldn't have gone better. I went in for a checkup due to pressure in my jaw and because I was overdue for a cleaning. My hygienist was Morgan and I would recommend her to anyone she did a fantastic job all around, most pleasant cleaning experience I have ever had. Dr Marks quickly noted the pressure I was feeling was impacted wisdom teeth and noted a couple of issues that I might want to address in future appointments. Roxy the receptionist was juggling several issues at once and still made me a referral to an oral surgeon for my wisdom teeth verifying that they would accept my insurance and got me out in no time. Awesome team all around.

Been coming to this office for years now. Have unfortunately, seen some great hygienist come and go. Mostly due to retirement and moved away. But, they are always thorough and do a great job. Don't ever feel rushed and always provide full attentive service. Dr. Marks is always full of good advice and always does a thorough check after the hygienist.
