I went in for my 6 month cleaning yesterday. The hygienist, Lindsey, was running behind, but worked very efficiently to perform my cleaning. She was thorough, and did a great job. The office personnel is always friendly and welcoming. Dr. Shumate is kind and understanding. I’ve been going to their office for nearly 10 years. If there are ever any issues, they work well to resolve whatever needs attention,

The team at Porters Neck Dentistry is always amazing. They are professional, friendly, courteous and always find a way to address any urgent Dental needs I have had. The care my family gets is superb and I would highly highly recommend them.

Dr Shumate recently capped 2 of my front teeth. He did a beautiful job with them and went over and above what others dentists have done. I am so very happy with them!! His staff is kind and warm and caring. My husband and I have been going to him for several years and we highly recommend him.

Dr. Lauren is an excellent addition to Porter’s Neck Dentistry. I had a very nervous teen getting her first cavity filled. Dr. Lauren took time to answer every one of her questions seriously and reassuringly. She worked quick! My daughter left smiling and feeling confident!

This office was wonderful. Staff was friendly and patient with a very nervous daughter. They took the time to explain every procedure and the treatment plan for the future. Dr. Shumate made my daughter feel at ease with his engaging manner. Thank you!

My experience here was excellent. They really care about people. They take your oral hygiene and health seriously. The doctor started my care right away to get the ball rolling with my dental issue. He is very professional and friendly. You can tell he is a person that really cares about his patients and that goes a long way. I would recommend family friends and anyone that's looking for a good experience with dental care.

If you’re looking for a dentist, this is the place to go! I waited years to get much needed work done because of allergic reactions at a prior dentist. I also had HIGH anxiety. The entire office is very caring, patient and managed my treatment unconventionally, to consider my allergies and anxiety. This is the ONLY dentist I’ll go to.
