From the front desk staff, dental assistants and Dr. Harper himself, this office is second to none.

“Finally a Dentist I Trust!!!! ”
From the front desk staff, dental assistants and Dr. Harper himself, this office is second to none. Having moved to Florida from the NY, needing dental work, I was very disappointed with several dentists from office staff, cleanliness, and professional ability that I tried in Florida. Fortunately, a dental sales representative recommended Dr. Harper to me when I told the rep. that I was moving to Ocala. Dr. Harper has such an easy going manner and always keeps you informed and relaxed which is hard in a dental chair. The front office doesn't just act polite but just are naturally friendly and courteous. The assistants are very thorough and professional as well. Having gone through much pain, financial expenses and other rude office help whose first question what insurance you have rather than saying Good Morning. If you want a good dentist and feel comfortable whats going on in your mouth, I strongly recommend whole heartily Dr. Harper. You will love his staff as well!

“Best Dentist in Ocala!”
I had a bit of out of the norm work needing done, Dr. Harper and is staff worked hard to get the information they needed to insure an excellent job be done. They went over and above what anyone would expect on finding out past info from prior dentist in Jax, Fl. Everything is going along wonderful!

“The best compassionate, professional care in my 70 years of dental care and I am a dental phobic.”
All of my mouth is crowns or a partial except for three teeth. Dr. Harper and his staff have handled me with professional kid gloves because they know of my fear in the dental office. He is the most caring dentist I have ever had. He has explained all procedures to me and tried in vain to save some of my teeth. I have dry mouth and decay is a certainty for me. When I had to have extractions for a bridge, his assistant Mary Ann would pat my shoulder and she had tears in her eyes as I lost some teeth..Who does that and shows the caring. Dr. Harper has called me at home to see how I am doing.
