John E Starcher DDS

This is my second visit to Dr Starchier. He is the best Dentist I have ever been to. The roots of my teeth are way messed up, so extractions are difficult. He made sure to tell me everything he was doing, and kept checking that I was ok. No pain. It will hurt when the novacaine wears off, but that is to be expected.

I've been a patient for nearly 20 years. I now bring my 6 year old and 2 year old and they both do incredibly well. For kids- going to the dentist can be scary but they love going. Their office is very patient with both kids- making sure they feel comfortable and calm throughout the entire visit/exam. They are efficient, thorough and friendly. I've had to come in an emergency and was seen immediately. Highly recommend!

Visited Dr Starcher for a filling. He was short with me and acted as if he was disgusted that he has to deal with the public. He injected a numbing agent into my gums and within seconds started drilling. I told him I wasn't numb yet and he angrily put down his drill and without asking, injected me with an additional syringe of numbing agent. His secretary raised her voice at me when I asked how they send bills out to their patients. It's almost unbelievable to me that his office is as popular as it is. I understand he has a number of patients who have visited his office for years. I also understand that he has lost a few due to his unprofessional behavior, myself included.

My husband got tooth abscess. Went to Dr Starcher and was put on antibiotic. A week later pulled his tooth but was still infected, painful and draining pus. After a couple of days, called Dr Starcher to inform him of pain and pus and he said, “no I don’t need to see him. It will get better. “. So my husband went to CAMC urgent care and they irrigated it and put him on different antibiotic for 2 weeks. TooK about 1 month to heal, now he has a crater in his gum. After going to Starcher for about 10 years, we will NEVER GO BACK.

Dr. Starcher does not sugar coat. No pun, intended. Very good and very thorough. I appreciate him and his staff for their care and their expertise. I highly recommend as I have been all over the valley and have finally found where I need to be. Thank you John & Staff for all you do.
