Willock C Michael, DDS, NORTH CAROLINA

Dr Willock did an excellent job on my new filling. However, it cost me $1000. I came in for a filling, and was not told the price. The procedure was completed in the office by a high tech machine, and when I went to pay for the visit, I was shocked. No estimate was given, and i asked for the procedure. However, the going rate for a filling is $100-$200. The office manager gave both my husband and I rude and pushy phone calls and letters to get our bill paid. It was embarrassing and shameful how they handled our situation. I have had 12 amalgam filling removed since that horrible experience and NONE COST ME THAT MUCH $$$. Advice: there is a mercury free dentist in Charlotte, NC that charges much less. I was able to get 3 teeth done for the same price with safe mercury removal expertise just like Dr. Willock provided. Plus, Dr. Fleming in Durham take insurance and charges less. more

Dr. Willock and his staff are friendly, caring, competent and professional in all aspects of their practice. I've been a patient of Dr. Willock for about 5 years. During that time he has removed many of the mercury-based fillings, replaced old gold crowns, and all without pushy, selling of his services. His hygienist, Lisa, is just the best - if getting your teeth cleaned can be a treat, Lisa delivers. more

I am shocked by the previous reviewer more

The reviews listed here have to be family members, since they contradict my experience on the one visit I made to the office. The hygienist double charged me for a cleaning that I had est. a price for with the staff before I sched. This place is driven by max dollars without the requisite skill. He may be ok for routine work, I do know that he is pushing high priced restorative, cosmetic work for which he is incompetent. more

Dr. Willock is as fine a dentist as I have visited. His staff is first rate - professional & caring. I would recommend him without reservation. more

You get what you pay for and more with this wonderful dental office. Dr. Willock is a wonderfully skilled dentist who performs top notch work with state of the art instruments. His hygienist is more like a therapist - so pleasant, so caring, and so good at her job. It is a relaxed and easygoing atmosphere. I know a pay a tiny bit more for this dentist, and as a married grad student every penny counts, but teeth are for life and this guy - he will take care of your teeth! Pros: Fantastic hygienist and front office staff Cons: A teeny bit expensive more
