“If I could give negative stars- I would! The front desk staff are nice but everything else that goes on after they call your name is ridiculous! My daughter had a dental visit at Mountain View Family Dentistry located at 3055 S Hwy 127 in Hickory, NC on September 11, 2025. Everything went well until the end. I noticed that the instruments they used on her mouth were directly on the counter. No barrier present. (Photo attached). I said nothing as I wasn't 100% sure of practices and such. The dentist even put on her gloves, glasses and then tightened the straps from behind her head right before going into my daughters mouth. I should've said something then but didn't want the rest of the treatment to be tense for my daughter. Fast forward to October 16, 2025. My daughter has another appointment at the office and this time I'll ask questions. As soon as we get into the treatment room I asked the hygienist how they were allowed to have instruments that are being used directly on the counter, a porous surface. She states that it's allowed because they use CaviCide wipes between each patient. My next question was, "does that dissipate like rubbing alcohol does so no chemicals get in my child's mouth?" Her response was, "Hm.. I'm not sure but it's non toxic. And we have more bacteria in our mouths than that counter does after being wiped off." She hurried off to get the dentist who had the exact conversation with us. They then suggested that they could reclean the area with a barrier and new supplies but might not get as much done treatment wise. They were rude and short with each response. We declined and rescheduled. Upon research since, we won't be going back. I reached out to the NC Dental Board and they have to 100% use a barrier. The CaviCide wipes sanitize but does not disinfect. Also, if you read the MSDS for CaviCide (safety sheet businesses HAVE to have on file for each chemical in the building) there are SOOO many harmful affects of the wipes! I hope that their unsafe practices hasn't made anyone sick, thus far and everyone steers clear from this practice!“

“The entire staff & Dr Shaw are over the top Nice & friendly. I had 2 molars extracted along with a bone graft. The next day I hardly knew it happened. The week after I had a deep cleaning done which went very well also. They get 10 stars!“

“First time here. It was a pleasure experience. Had a periodontal cleaning and was advised on my next procedure scheduled.“

“As an elderly person in my late 60's and having lived all over NC, I have had every kind of dental procedure you could imagine over the years by numerous dentists & orthodontists. So much so, I was pleasantly surprised when Dr. Herring accepted me as a patient 3+ years ago after I retired. She has been a wonderful and caring dentist for both me and my wife and will hopefully be the last one we'll ever need. Her entire staff is great too!

“Wow! Talk about a state of the art better than your average dentist office. Most friendly dentist office I've ever been in from start to finish. My first visit but the dental hygienist was able to fit in a cleaning so I didn't have to come back a second time The doctor that saw me sure knew his stuff he found every single abnormality with my teeth that I already knew about but he didn't. He had not seen any of my records and he found every single thing that was a slight abnormality with my teeth in less than five minutes. They even had a comfort dog funniest thing in the world. I thought I felt something on my hand and it was a comfort dog sniffing my hand he probably noticed I was tensed up. little dog that goes around the office and comforts people that are nervous about their doctors visit. I went home and told my wife she needs to go to this dentist.“

“The moment I walked in to the office I was greeted by a friendly smile by Carol! The office is very aesthetic and clean. The hygienist that cleaned my teeth , Megan, was beyond excellent! She took care in checking my gum tissue for health and she was very gentle. Dr. Robbie was friendly and easy to talk to. He filled a tooth for me and I never felt a thing! I am so happy to make Lake Hickory Dental my new dental office. I would recommend it to everyone!“
