Worst dentist ever, brings his dog into a sterile office. Office staff not helpful. Previous dentist on staff was very good.

Interesting but nonsensical...review occurred 24 hours after practice was sold. I (Dr. Penning) was the first/founding dentist of the practice therefore no 'previous dentist'. A dog did therapeutic visits for phobic patients. A review with an agenda though hard to figure out except to be totally negative...???

Like other posters on here, Dr. Penning is great but I think the prices are steep compared to other availble dental offices in Barrie. The other dental offices I've been to are just as friendly and the price is even better. For a check up and a cleaning $325 seems to be a little too much for me and I can't really afford that. Oh, and they charge a fee if you ever need to cancel at the last minute ($75.00). I was never charged a cancellation fee anywhere else, so it seems to me, other dental offices are more understanding about special circumstances.

You are correct, $325 is not normal for a checkup and a cleaning. Sounds like we should have given you more information before booking - a more thorough Comprehensive Exam is about 80 minutes while a checkup is 3-7 minutes, depending. The number of x-rays will vary as will the time needed to do a proper cleaning. A full exam, basic x-rays and one hour of cleaning does add up to around 325. As for the cancellation fee, we strive to get you in and out on time and use the fee to help keep our schedule exact, not to help our revenue.

Had a missing front tooth, major decay and disintegration that my previous dentist of 10 years was at a loss to know where to even begin treating. Dr. Penning was recommended to me by a friend who told me he would be able to take care of my tooth issues. Dr. Penning examined me and set up a plan of action within a couple of days. He removed the decay,restored my missing front tooth and had my mouth looking better than ever in three visits. If you are looking for a positive dental experience, I could not recommend anyone more highly than this dentist.

Glad you are happy - it is hard to feel like moving forward when you don't feel like you can open your mouth in public. Reactions like yours are so rewarding - Thanks!

I had a toothache that another dentist couldn't find. He figured it out and did all the treatment himself. Can't say enough about the whole place. Has great staff too.
