Dr. Younkins & Associates

Will not be returning to Dr. Younkins. Most of the work was done by hygienists and other workers, rather than Dr. Younkins. When he came in to check my case, he didn't acknowledge me, introduce himself, or address me directly. Did not make me feel welcome or comfortable there. Moreover, the receptionist had a bad attitude and treated me poorly. I understand that there's a shortage of qualified dentists in the State College area, but I will absolutely not be returning here. Schedule anywhere else if you're able.

I have major anxiety about going to the dentist. (Reason why I have put off going for 2 years). From the moment I walked in the door at Dr. Younkins I was put at ease. My hygienist was absolutely amazing, very professional and sweetest ever. She made me feel comfortable from the start. Then meeting Dr. Younkin was amazing as well. He is very professional, explained everything thoroughly. He explained I needed a filling and also a crown and what that procedure will be. And NEVER have I had my dentist walk me out to receptionist to get me scheduled for my next appt. The all were fantastic and now I am back tomorrow for my dental procedures. Would highly recommend this office to anyone!!

Always a quick appointment. From check in to check out, staff is friendly and there's no crazy wait times. He's phenomenal with children too! My husband hated going to the dentist, now he never misses an appointment.

I've been in twice now and have had very positive experiences both times. The staff was very friendly and the Doctor really seems to know his stuff. The office is very clean and they seem to have nicer equipment than any dentist I've been to.

I went in for tooth pain in October as I could not chew on the left side of my mouth. The doctor barely looked at my teeth, tapped the molar twice and diagnosed it as trauma- even as I protested that it was more painful. Due to his insistence it was trauma I dealt with the pain for a further two months until I was able to go home and see my dentist. It only took her 2 minutes to investigate the tooth and diagnose me with a cracked filling. I was not going to leave a review until I received a text today that the office had scheduled me for another appointment next week and would charge a fee for missing the appointment, even though I had never scheduled it. When I tried to call they did not answer and I have still not received a call back.

Dr. Younkins and his crew are always incredible. I had an emergency dental situation recently and they got me in with urgency. They made me feel heard and helped me explore the necessary route to get my teeth back to normal again. :) I recommend them to ANYONE who is seeking a dentist in the State College area.
