All the staff are wonderful! Dr. Stead Willis is great! Very thorough and personable. Michelle is great and very gentle.😊 …
Dr. Donoway is both knowledgeable *and* a great teacher. He and his staff are also easygoing and funny! Never before have I felt more relaxed at the dentist.
I think Dr. Donoway explained more to me today than all the other dentists I've seen combined. I have never felt so listened to before! I left the appointment feeling completely confident about my treatment plan and next steps for treatment at home. I'm very glad that I followed my mom's recommendation and switched over to Stead Willis!
I arrived a few minutes early but was taken right back by my hygienist, Emma. My cleaning was efficient and thorough. The exam with the Dentist after the cleaning was great too, after checking my bite, nodes and cancer check around and under my tongue, we talked about some future goals regarding Invisalign-
Dr. Donoway is the man! I have dental anxiety and he is sweet, kind and makes sure I am O.K. the entire procedure. Even though I white knuckle my way through it, I know he is there to take care of me! He makes having your teeth drilled on more bearable! 🤣 He has my vote!!!! Thanks Doc, your kindness …
Caroline is a great hygienist. She is friendly and does a thorough job on cleaning my teeth. Your whole office staff is very nice and professional.
I have been going to Dr. Willis for years and he has always been upfront and straightforward with what he can and can not do to my teeth! He is professional, polite and friendly! His entire staff are also professional, polite and friendly! I will continue to go there and I hope you will too and experience the great work …
I have been using Dr. Willis for years with complete satisfaction. In that time the staff turnover has been non-existent which must say something about the office environment as well. If you are looking for a good dentist then you can visit Dr Willis with complete confidence that you will well treated and satisfied.
I am new to NC. My first time visit was a real pleasure. I was made to feel very welcome and my hygienist and Dr. Donoway were both prepared with my records and were both thorough and very professional. I made the right choice with this office.
