Love this place. Would 100% recommend to all. Next appt I may come in a few hours early just to hang out with the gang lol."
- Rick L.
"I have to say, my experience with Dr. Pranckun was nothing short of amazing. Before I went to see him, I was absolutely terrified of dentists. I hadn't been to one in over 20 years because of my fear. I finally decided to face my anxiety when I needed a bad crown removed and some prep work for an implant. From the moment I walked in, I felt like I was treated like a valued customer. The staff was welcoming and genuinely caring, which immediately put me at ease. Dr. Pranckun was wonderful—he explained everything he was going to do and made sure I was comfortable throughout the entire process. The work he did was great, and I can honestly say I no longer dread going to the dentist. If you're like I was—nervous, afraid, or even petrified of dental work—I highly recommend this team. They really know how to help you feel relaxed and cared for!"
- James P.
"I can’t say enough good things about Cocalico Dental. I am just starting my transformation with them & while I am nervous, I am SO EXCITED! Everyone is friendly, willing to answer any questions & takes the time to listen to my concerns. I cannot wait to show the results. Stay tuned!!"
- Jarrod H.
"They brought me in on a Labor Day Friday eve, even though the schedule was full. They gave me the same care as if I had been scheduled for six months. They did not rush me, were comforting, and explained everything. I had three teeth removed. Two were broken. They were all infected. Even the receptionists were caring and patient with me. Dr. Justin was excellent!"
- Yvonne J.
"They made the time to squeeze me into their schedule for a broken tooth that needed repair before my open-heart surgery scheduled in less than two weeks. The doctor and assistant were extremely caring and made me their priority. Helped reduce the additional stress I didn’t need. Thank you both!"
- William M.
"I don't normally post Google reviews, but I was blown away with my experience at Cocalico Dental. I haven't been to the dentist in a long time and suffer great anxiety. The staff was very patient and understanding. I can't express my gratitude enough."
- Rob M.
"I went to Cocalico Dental today for the first time. The dentist and his staff were amazing. They took X-rays and explained everything that needed to happen in a treatment plan. I am very happy that I contacted Cocalico Dental, and if you're looking for a dentist, they are a perfect choice."
- Marie M.
"Such a positive experience at the office for my 83-year-old father, who was a new patient who had a broken tooth with an infection. We were able to get him in for an appointment quickly when no one else could. They were able to do a tooth extraction at the initial visit, which was very convenient since he lives at a nursing home and is wheelchair bound. The entire staff was very accommodating, kind, and helpful from the first phone call to checking out at the end of the appointment. The cost of the visit and extraction was very reasonable. I definitely recommend Cocalico Dental!"
- Sharon P.
"Dr. Pranckun was incredible—kind, professional, and so patient. He took the time to explain every step of the appointment, which really helped ease my dental anxiety. I’ll definitely be a regular patient! He’s even got a great sense of humor. His staff and everyone I met were just as wonderful."
