The Center For Dental Excellence, Hallam PA

I have been told conflicting info on oral care from my sons pediatrician & my dentist that I sought out a pediatric dentist several wks ago @ childrens dental health of york. That dentist gave me wrong info as well & totally dismissed checking for a tounge tie but said my son possibly had a lip tie & to wait until he was older than 7 to address it & also mentioned the words snip which are a big no no when looking for a preferred provider. He also said my sons teeth were just stained. We spent 1 hr in the waiting room less than 5 min looking @ my sons mouth. The mama bear in me know that this info didn't sound correct based on the research I did.so I kept digging & found the center for dental excellence & dr. Katherman. I am so glad i did & that the tounge tie lip tie group on fb also recommended her as well. If I could give this place more than 5 stars I would. Very friendly staff, that are highly knowledgeable & professional. They keep u informed every step of the way. I am very impressed with Dr. K & staff & wished we found them sooner for his revisions. @ inital consultation she put my mind @ ease & I felt like she understood me as a mother & woman wanting the best for their child when addressing my concerns. My son had either tooth decay or decalsification or calcification w/e it was called & that was the issue not stained teeth. I forget which seeing as they give u so much info during consultation but my fault for not reclarifying. His teeth popped through the gums that way & he most certainly had the ties like i suspected. She took the time w/us to explain everything & why its important to do the revisions now before he gets older etc. He is 10 1/2 mo. What made me highly impressed w/her was not only her knowledge of the subject but the day my son had his revisions, she handed me a print out on the correct info on oral health that we discussed @ his last visit & said she was thinking of us & wanted to make sure i had the info I needed. She took the time to ans all of our questions & was very thorough unlike the last provider we saw who seemed more interested in moving on to the next patient. The day of his revisions they give us a folder w/more oral health info in it & after care papers & papers to do his stretches which are very important so they don't reattach. They also give u coconut oil as well as a tounge depressor to use. Dr. K also gives u her personal cell phone number in case u need her or have any questions which im impressed by bc idk any other dr that would do that after a procedure or surgery & I've had quite a few & they dont give u that ex level of care or service she does. She also calls u later the same day to see how things are going which once again I've never experienced before. In the after care papers it also states that u can borrow one of her many books on toungie ties & lip ties if u want to further educate yourself on the subject which once again no other dr does which i find awesome so u can read the correct info. & not outdated or wrong info.off the internet. I cant say enough wonderful things about Dr. K & staff thank u again. U can really tell she cares about what she does & is passionate about her wrk & educating parents & patients alike.

Very aware of keeping everyone safe and comfortable during appointment. Extremely clean and all staff explained how to maintain distance, checked temperature & new procedures for both staff and patients. Felt very secure.

Everyone in Dr Bell's office is very professional and friendly. He made every effort to get my my very complicated dental work done before the shutdown. I really appreciated it. The results are great! Thank you so much! I would highly recommend this office.

We were able to take our 3 week old daughter here for her tongue and lip tie evaluation and were able to have the procedure done the same day! Our visit was quick, but not a single moment did we feel rushed or just like a number. The staff is professional and extremely kind. Dr. Katherman was extremely helpful, informational and very thorough. We had a wonderful experience from start to finish and would highly recommend this practice to anyone who wants to experience great service and meet lovely people!

The staff is very polite and friendly. Dr. Bell is always fun to talk to and Checks to make sure there are no issues. Mel (my hygienist) always does a great job. She will ask if there are any issues since my last visit and anything she finds is shared right away. Overall a great experience from the time I arrive.

Love, love, LOVE every time I visit. I’m always seen promptly, all the staff remember you and details about you and your family, and are incredibly friendly and professional. They were all quick to help with my crying 10-month old while I was mid-cleaning and unable to tend to her. They address any and all concerns I have every time I go. I’ve also inquired about their 6-month smile program the past 3 times (3 years, as I only go once a year) and each year they quickly get me a quote and never pressure me to go through w something I’m not ready for. This time I finally committed and am ready to follow through! The staff and Dr. Bell answered all of my questions regarding the process and costs, and quickly got me scheduled to start the process. While many people don’t look forward to their dental appts, I totally do and most of that is because of WHERE I go and how they make me feel and what a great and thorough job they do. Highly recommend!

Always great service from the time you walk in a are greeted by the staff until
You’re done with dentist and on your way out the door. Center for dental EXCELLENCE is the perfect name!

Dr Bell is super. He is kind, gentle and very understanding! I began going to his office when my dentist of 30 plus years was going part-time and I have been so happy with Dr. Bell.

I have been coming here for about 7 years. The woman who cleans my teeth is excellent. I wouldn’t have anyone but Dr. Bell fill my cavities. He is wonderful. I highly recommend this office to anyone. He is very knowledgeable and thorough

If you want to experience how dental care should be accomplished start to finish then come here. Lives up to the name.

The Center for Dental Excellence is the best dental care you will ever receive. Dr. Bell, Dr. Katherman and their staff are wonderful. Linda is always smiling and personable. Pam is very professional and knowledgeable. All the hygienists are amazing. I have never had a bad experience here after 25 years. Dr. Bell is always on top of new technology.

Everyone was friendly very informative took excellent care of me I look forward to going back for my next visit with Doctor Bell. All of the all of the staff were very friendly it's a good place to be when you need a good dentist. I give it five stars for the doctor and the staff at the dentist office.

Dr. Gordon Bell was very professional and friendly. He has a gentle touch, which I find so important when I’m having dental work. He did a complete exam from the neck up and also used a special device which detects oral cancer. His staff was exceptionally friendly and competent. Noelle, the dental hygienist, did an excellent job cleaning my teeth and giving me a fluoride treatment. I would highly recommend this practice.just as it was recommended to me.

I love this place and am always put at ease and feel comfortable when I am there getting anything done. Thanks

The staff feels like family! They are so welcoming, professional, and my results are stunning. My family will be switching to this office and I’ll be telling my friends to do the same.

Love ️ Love ️ Love this practice. I moved to York in 1985 from DC. I tried different local dentists but none of them compared to what I was familiar with! I finally asked a close friend, who referred me to Dr Bell about 20 years ago!

Dr Bell and the entire staff are warm and personable! They make going to the dentist a great experience! Plus you will find state of the art equipment that matches their training!
Highly recommend this practice! ~xoxo~

As a patient with years of bad experiences dealing with a lot of dental issues that honestly made me wait until I had no choice but to deal with the pain and embarrassment of getting dental care, I can honestly say that Dr. Bell and his staff are the very best. They treat you with respect and take the time to insure you are comfortable and are honest with your treatment options. You can’t get any better, period.
