Sarah Padden I would like to share my unique and somewhat amazing experience at the Dental Office of Dr. John Fish, an Implant, Cosmetic and Sedation Dentist located in the Hildebran area of Catawba County. Thanks to his expertise, as well as his kind and reassuring manner, I have the smile I have dreamed of for many years. Dr. Fish operates his office in what I call an Inclusion Model. He actually sits down and consults with patients regarding every aspect of his treatment plan. I always knew exactly what to expect at every visit which created a relaxed and trusting environment for me. His support team was exceptionally kind, helpful and professional as well and I never waited longer than a few minutes before each appointment began. While there are many positive qualities of Dr. Fish's Dental Service, I was most impressed with his attention to detail, which I considered to be his perfectionism and his desire to do an outstanding job for me. Thanks to his perfectionism and his incredible skill I have a smile of which I am very proud. My smile says a heartfelt thank you to a most excellent Dentist and his excellent team. I would rate my experience with his service to be well above average as one of the best and most professional medical experiences of my very long lifetime. Sarah Padden March 25, 2025 Melissa Brewer I went in for my free consultation and I cannot tell you how happy it made me to find out just how kind and professional everyone I came in contact with was! I plan to go back for my next appointment and we will be developing a plan to help me regain a perfect smile! I’m so thankful that we have Dr. Fish and his wonderful staff here local. Update I plan to have him do my work! I can’t wait! Jack Lutz Very professional and does good work Chris Bowles Great first impression! Not only did I get an appointment quickly for a consultation but they were able to do a very thorough examination on the spot, using state of the art equipment. No long wait in the waiting area either and the staff was super friendly and calm. I had not been to the dentist in a very long time because of my dental phobia, Dr. Fish was very understanding and his calm persona really helped me. What I liked was that the consultation was in a conference room and I was asked what my goal was, Dr Fish listened intently and gave me very good input. His experience is incredible and his credentials impeccable. They will be able to overhaul a major portion of my teeth, do some deep scaling and make several crowns on the spot, all in one appointment, under IV sedation. I am very much looking forward to getting this done. Thank you Dr. Fish and staff Pam Dennis Excellent dental care with Dr. Fish and the entire stall. The group was informative, professional and friendly. Will highly recommend to family and friends! Steve Davis I'm satisfied with the Staff and Dr. Fish. They are Professional and do what it takes to solve any problems you may have with teeth etc.
