Dr. John H. Burkholder DMD

This is like having family members in the dental profession.
While they are expert in treatment and reconstruction, the emphasis is on prevention and the integration of dental health with general health and well-being. This is a small practice, so outside of dental emergencies, plan on securing an appointment well ahead of anticipated need.

Dr. Burkholder is a great dentist and a really nice guy. His office staff is helpful and friendly. I have been going to him for about 30 years and I would hate having to go to anyone else. His work is excellent and thorough, he takes the time to explain things fully. What more can I say?

Dr. Burkholder's practice is fantastic. I've been a patient for over 6 years, and I've consistently had great experiences. Dr. Burkholder emphasizes prevention and patient education, setting you up for long-term success. I can't recommend the practice highly enough!

This practice is what full service primary dentistry should look like. I've been a patient of Dr. Burkholder for nearly 30 years and he has provided care for my entire family since the birth of our daughter in 1993. Dr. Burkholder focuses on prevention, and he is an excellent educator aside from his being a wonderful dentist. He customizes his discussions and remembers your particular case, so you get a fully-engaged practitioner giving you all the knowledge you can absorb to keep your teeth and gums healthy.

His team is stellar and stable, so you get a full family dentistry feel. -Charmain handles all the administrative, billing, scheduling with professionalism and warmth. I believe she was with the practice already as a young woman when I joined. What a treasure!
-Farideh is a kind and gentle dental hygienist with excellent skills, using all the most modern tools to keep one comfortable. I enjoy our conversations about her native Iran and her occasional travel there to visit family.
-Vivian, as the Registered DA, assists Dr. Burkholder during procedures -- which thanks to the prevention work, I have not needed as much. But you will also see her assisting Farideh to document depth of pockets in the gum and in other team roles.

And don't forget to ask Dr. Burkholder about his bees and his latest honey harvest....

This is a team worth celebrating!
Thank you for years of great service.

I trust Dr. Burkholder and his hygienist with my 69+ year old teeth because he and she give honest, professional, and super competent dental care. Our history together goes back to the 1990's. There is no better dental office anywhere and that includes the friendly and well-organized receptionist Charmaine.
