Professional and competent. Friendly and conversational in an honest, authentic way, not the phony salesman way. No religious materials stacked in the waiting area, unlike most health-care offices in eastern Idaho. My wife and go there and we arr increasingly impressed with every visit.
Machen Family Dentistry is the best place in Idaho Falls to go for dental care! I had THE BEST dentist ever, until he got sick and retired!! I have been searching and going everywhere in town trying to find someplace that was nice and had excellent staff, caring hygienist and dentists that dont want to sell you all the products to FIX your teeth! I HAVE FINALLY FOUND THAT PLACE!!! MACHEN IS HERE TO HELP YOU AND KEEP MONEY IN YOUR POCKET! WIN, WIN SITUATION!! I am so glad, Im now happy again going to the dentist!!
Machen Family Dentistry is a great establishment for dental needs. The staff is genuinely caring and they are willing to work with any schedule and financial situation. I’ve been going there for years. Just appreciate them…😁
I have been a patient with Machen Family Dentistry for several years. Their staff is very friendly, courteous and professional. They provide excellent service. I highly recommend Machen Family Dentistry for all of your familys Dentistry needs.
I love going to see Dr. Machen and her entire staff. I look forward to seeing Shelly at the front desk, my hygienist, Dr. Machen, just everyone! Honestly, this is the best group of professionals and super fun people on the planet!
We love Machen Family Dentistry. Since my boys and I began going there, my children are no longer afraid of the dentist, they rarely have cavities, and the staff is incredibly professional, kind and compassionate. They are very thorough and make sure that any procedures needed are perfect for your needs. So grateful for all that they do for us!
I love how thorough Dr. Machen is! She always gives the best care! I especially love that she explains to me what is going on in my mouth in a respectful and clear way that I can understand. And she thoroughly explains what treatments are available (if needed). I can tell that she really cares about her patients because of the considerate way she treats me every time. One time she was worried about something in my mouth (I cant remember what) and so she wanted to take an x ray, but told her I didnt want to because I wasnt sure if my insurance would cover them. She was so kind about it, and even told me that she wouldnt charge me for the x rays if my insurance didnt cover them. She is super knowledgeable and always does top notch work!
I will not go back to this place!!! Dentist is out for what they can get into their pocket. They do not look out for your best interest or your wallet!! I now have to go to a different dentist and have them redo what the dentist here did! All I get are excuses of why something went wrong! I think dentist need video cams to show that they are not the ones at fault. How are we suppose to know if they made a mistake and are just saying what ever they need to say to cover them? Finding a good reliable dentist is hard. So I have given you my input! Save money by going somewhere else. I have been going here for 4 years and I havent had a lot of major work done, but the major work that has been done has not been good. Hell they dont even care that they loose a patient of 4 years either.
They worked well and fast with me. They knew I was limited on time for my appointment and got me in right away. Thanks for all you folks do! :)
No one enjoys going to the dentist but I can truly say that I love going to Machen Family Dentistry. Everyone is so nice and it is always a pleasant experience. My entire family goes to them because they are so great.
I have really enjoyed Machen Family Dentistry over the past 4 years. Dr. King takes great care of me. The hygienists are friendly and knowledgeable. I highly recommend them if you are looking for a new dentist.
Very caring, you get the quote upfront, prices are reasonable, and they explain everything. The best part, the entire staff is friendly. Usually dentist are great and front end staff is horrible. NOT HERE! All of them are friendly, professional, and courteous. I highly recommend!!
Great, welcoming environment to help you keep your smile bright. I have had horrible experiences with dentists before, so Im glad that they are able to help me each and every visit.
This is the best dentist office Ive ever been to. The staff here is so kind and so understanding of dental anxiety. Dr. King accommodates to my needs every time I go in and is so patient with me. Because of the staff, Im not scared to go to the dentist anymore.
Kim was a very thorough and gentle hygienist at my visit today. She has a great rapport with patients. Dr. King was as pleasant as he always is. He did my exam quickly and with attention to detail.
My wife and I have been going to Dr. Machen for many years now and we would go to no one other. I am 70 years old and have had many dentists do things that ran from major work to simple check up. My wife and my kids have experienced the same things. Because of my experiences, for many years I had an extreme distrust and dislike for dentists until I started going to Dr. Machen. She is extremely capable, professional and takes the time to explain things in an easy to understand way. She always presents options to problems and is good about giving you the information you need to make an informed decision. She understands the financial impacts and is willing to work with you.My daughter was traumatized by a local dentist and had refused to see any dentist. When she became and adult, I convinced her to see Dr. Machen for a simple checkup and cleaning. She did and learned that she had 4 impacted wisdom teeth that needed to come out. Based on her first experience with Dr. Machen and her staff, she decided to have the procedure performed. She trusted Dr. Machen enough to have her do it in one sitting. My daughter, at the time, lived on Ogden, UT and drove all the way to Idaho Falls to get it done.Dr. Machen and her staff are THE BEST and I would give her the highest recommendations. She cares about people, puts their welfare first, and is highly skilled. Her staff is professional, friendly and knows how to put you at ease. I respect her, I admire her dedication, and most importantly, I trust her. So can you.
The doctor is fine. However billing services have taken a turn down. They hired new billing services. To contact the billing you have to call and leave a message and wait for two days for them to call back. When I get a return call from the billing I am usually at work or traveling and unable to have a constructive conversation. It seems that a lot of double billing frequently occur and it is very difficult to get it fixed. I am not impressed with the survice.
I had a great experience when I went in for a cleaning and routine check-up. Dr. Machen is a great dentist! Her staff is very professional and well informed as well!
Dr. King and his assistant were fantastic, as well as the front staff. Highly recommend going here if, like me, you are typically terrified to go to the dentist. They will make you feel so welcome and ensure you are comfortable!
These are very nice people, but Dr. King took out a crown and then said he couldnt rebuild it.Should of would have left it alone. Now its going to cost more money. He seems as if hes scared to do anything. The office manager is kinda not so nice.
I Love going to Machen Family Dentistry, they see me on my lunch break on my appointments. Dr. Machen is gentle, caring and explains the work she is going to do before doing it. I met Dr. King today and he is gentle and thorough as well. My hygienists are sweet, gentle, and work hard to clean my teeth. The ladies at the front counter will welcome you with a smile and begin your visit in a positive atmosphere. I recommend Machen Family Dentistry for your dental care and cleanings, they truly are the Best and they make me feel like I am part of their family. Thank you
Dr Machen has been taking care of me and my family for the last 5 years and I completely trust her and her staff. They have helped us keep our teeth clean, watched potential problems, and taken care of issues with professional care. We schedule our future appointments as we walk out of our cleanings so we never have problems getting in. They are also so nice. I highly recommend!!!
I moved here from out of state where I worked in a dental office for over 30 years. I did my research to ensure I chose a quality dental office and Dr King did not disappoint. He was thorough, knowledgeable, and professional as well as a kind person. He was very informative and made sure I understood my options for treatment to be done. Ive only been there once and have already referred my friend. Great office!!
We had such a great experience with Dr. Machen. She took extra care for our anxious patient. I know we will be back for all our familys dental care. She is the best. The hygienist that worked with him was also exceptional.
Dr. Machen is an amazing Dentist! She got me in and out quickly and made the whole experience great! She helped ease my anxiety and explained everything very thoroughly. I recommend Dr. Machen to everyone!
Dr Esther Machen is awesome! She is nice, attentive, and knowledgeable. She explained to me my options in a clear informative way. She knows what she is doing. This is the first time I visited a female dentist and she made it a great first experience. It was like talking to a friend. No rush, no talking down to me.The rest of the stuff was great as well! The place is great and waiting room is spacious and comfortable.The location is unbeatable.
I would recommend Dr. Machen and Dr. King to anyone. The most thorough, gentle and compassionate dentists Ive ever encountered. Their staff is always so kind and personable. With the extensive work I needed done, they went above and beyond to help with any anxiety to make me feel at ease and completely comfortable. This is an all around amazing practice.
I have been going to Machen Family Dentistry now for nearly 2 years. I have always received the most kind, professional, considerate and caring service by all the staff. The dentist herself is very careful in her work and has excellent knowledge skills and judgment of even the most difficult dental cases. I would highly recommend Dr. Machen to anyone for her superior expertise, excellent patient and family relations and personable personality. She makes you feel like you are family. The office environment is always clean and neat with latest technology to assure I receive the best of care.
Very awesome office. Super professional and they take care of their clients. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for any dental services.
I have always had great anxiety when it comes to going to the dentist. I had some bad experiences growing up and to be honest put it off as an adult for a ridiculous amount of time. I had a friend refer me to Machen Dentistry and I was so impressed. I was welcomed and felt comfortable as soon as I walked in. Dr. King realized right away I was a bit anxious and asked me what they could do to make my experience better. When it was time to have some work complete I had a warm blanket on, tv, the gas and any concerns or questions I had answered and met! I definitely recommend Dr. King and plan to make him my ongoing dentist!
I am extremely pleased with our experience at Machen Family Dentistry! The entire staff is very friendly and professional. Both Dr. Machen and Dr. King have provided my family with great dental care - they are conservative yet thorough in any treatment provided. My nervous kids have been treated with the utmost gentleness and patience. I’ve been generally dissatisfied with the few dentists that I’ve tried over the years, but I am very happy with Machen Family Dentistry.
Our family had a marvelous, knock-it-out-of-the-park dentist for decades and when he retired, we didnt think we could find someone to fill his shoes. Dr Esther Machen has done this and taken it up a notch :).Shes smart as a whip and extremely capable. Her kindness and empathy goes an awfully long way with us.Our son was involved in a terrible mishap while at a college baseball clinic, he took a line drive right in the mouth. His jaw was broken along with several of his teeth in addition to losing his front tooth completely. Not a great thing for a handsome young man. The first call I made was to Dr Machen-I wanted to ensure we were doing everything right the first time. Hes fine and has healed beautifully but Dr Machen keeps a close watch on him and monitors his current condition. That incident was frightening but this sweet, thoughtful and adept doctor was so utterly terrific and really helped us through.Were giant fans of Esther Machen! Giant!
If you are looking for the perfect dentist, look no further. Dr. Machen and her staff are amazing! I have been to several other dentists in this area, including pediatric dentists and Dr. Machen tops them all for total family dental care. My kids ages 3 - 14 love her. Not only is she an excellent dentist, but the kindness and compassion she shows toward you and your family is unlike any in this area. She truly cares about you as an individual. She thoroughly explains all options to you based on the level of care needed and there is never any pressure to make a rash decision. She listens to your concerns and spends the necessary time needed with you as a patient. Ive never felt rushed or like just another patient in her long day of work. Her staff is also very kind and caring, from the front desk ladies, to the billing office, to the techs! Highly recommend Machen Family Dentistry!
As someone who gets crazy anxiety about going to the dentist due to past interactions at other offices, Machen Family Dentistry definitely gave me a new outlook on things. That was the best cleaning I’ve ever had and all the staff is AMAZING! Thank you Machen Family Dentistry for being so AMAZING and KIND, even to a 20 year old baby like myself❤️
Always professional. Caring staff. Willing to listen to my concerns and explain my best options.
I use Machen for my dental. They put their heart into their work and use up to date technology. Very recommendable.
I first learned about Dr. Machen from a billboard I had seen while driving through Idaho Falls. Since I was new to the area and in need of a dentist, I decided to call and make an appointment. From the first call I made the staff were extremely courteous and accommodating to my needs. They were able to collect my basic information over the phone so there was minimal paperwork upon arrival. The office staff greeted me immediately upon arrival and within a couple of minutes was escorted to the exam room. Once in the exam area my hygienist introduced herself and her assistant and performed a thorough exam. There were never any surprises as to what would be done or what sensations should be expected. I was also very happy to find current technology being used at every opportunity, from the ultrasonic cleaning device to the digital x-rays and digital photos taken from inside the oral cavity. Once the hygienist had completed the cleaning, Dr. Machen came in and completed the exam and reviewed all of the findings with me using the digital x-rays and photos that had been taken. After all of the findings were discussed with me, Dr. Machen presented several treatment options for me to consider and answered any questions that I had concerning each.Overall, my trip to see Dr. Machen and her professional staff was very pleasant. Dr Machen herself has a nice combination of professional expertise and excellent bedside manor.
Dr. Machen is great. I hadnt been to the dentist in years, and a friend referred me to her because of their good experience. Now I understand why. She is very skilled, professional, kind, and informative. Would recommend to anyone.
Very responsible and dedicated professionals!Im very happy with this dentistry, and it has taken me a while to find a great one. I actually see Dr. King at this location and believe he is a great dentist! He and the staff are super helpful, very knowledgeable, carefully explain findings (xrays, history, charts, etc), and are transparent about any costs (even if its paid by insurance). I know I can trust them.I wouldnt hesitate to refer anyone to Dr. King or Dr. Machen.
Amazing office, caring and kind staff. Has made my wife who is terrified of dental care feel comfortable. Would highly recommend to anyone.
Besides excelling in dentistry, Machen Family Dentistry works with you according to whether you are a minimalist or a spare-no-expense patient. My wife and I are fortunate to have them as our dentists.
Dr. Machen and her staff are fantastic. We chose them kind of on a whim when we moved here. I couldn’t be happier with our choice. She and her staff are great with my four year old. She’s the first dentist that he has known, and he’s totally at ease with her and her staff. I highly recommend her.
The care we receive at this office is amazing! Both the hygienists and Dr. Machen take their time to explain everything about our teeth using the latest technology and answer all of our questions with depth and integrity. All of the staff is very conscientious. We highly recommend Dr. Machens Dentistry!
The best dentist in Idaho. Dr. Machen and her staff are extremely professional regarding with my oral health. I love how much she cares about my teeth! You can tell she loves her profession.
The most thorough dentist and hygienist Ive ever been to and Ive been to many in various states and the UK.
I have been always had excellent, highly professional service from Dr. Ester Machen. Every dental hygienist that works for her is fantastic. This last visit on Monday gave me opportunity to interact with a new hygienist, Mandy, and she earns an A+ rating from me. Dr. Machen makes certain she hires the very best and Mandy is very consistent with that standard.
The best dentist I have ever encountered. She is amazing and it is very obvious she cares about her patients . You are crazy if you read this review and you don’t try visiting her office. You won’t regret it!
The entire staff at Machen Family Medicine are amazing. I felt taken care of the entire visit. They make you feel like you can ask them anything. This is the most caring dentistry office in Idaho Falls.
Do not see Dr. King. His is very impersonal and seems like he just wants to get his job over with. I did not have a good experience with him. Dr. Machen however, could not be sweeter. She is kind and takes the time to really understand your concerns and actually listens. She enjoys her job and takes time to make sure it’s done well. She double checks all her work and makes sure your satisfied before you leave. She’s very friendly I don’t think you’d find a better dentist anywhere else! I had a cavity on the left side of my mouth in between teeth and after months of being told it’s too small to do anything by another dentist (Willamette dental) and not being able to even eat on the left side of my mouth due to the pain and discomfort it caused, Dr. Machen took care of it and filled it perfectly. Even a day later I was eating just fine and I couldn’t be happier with her work.
From the front staff to the Hygienists to Dr. Machen, they are all fantastic.I feel Dr. Machen has the highest integrity when it comes to your health and dental care.
Caring and most importantly gentle. My infected tooth was terrible and painful. Thank you for your prompt and caring attention to relieving my distress.
Very pleased with how they treated me and the work they did. I chipped my tooth the night before and when I called they got me an appointment right away. Dr. King was the one that did the work and he had great bedside manner and did an excellent repair job.
My crown fell off Friday night and I called Machen Dental’s emergency number. Dr. King promptly called me back and scheduled a time to meet the following morning. He took the time to help me on a holiday weekend. He also took the time to take X-rays and to do a thorough examination in order to determine how to best help me. Dr. King is not only a skilled dentist, he is also a kind and caring person. I strongly recommend that you give Machen Family Dentistry a try!
Always, personable, professional and thorough! Love every one on staff.
I was recommended to go here by family. Being very nervous, I scheduled an appointment. I did not receive the best news but the stuff I worked with was very knowledgeable, patient and kind. I will keep coming back and recommend people
I am very pleased with the Dr. Machen and staff at Machen Family Dentistry. I like to call people by name, not hey you, I think a name tag with first name and the magnetic back would be my only suggestion. As I am a senior, LOL, it is difficult to remember when I only go every 6 months. When I was there last week it was a pleasure to have Morgan.
Dr. Machen is amazing! She is very particular about her work and does such a great job. She really cares about her patients and does everything she can to take care of you. I recommend her to anyone!
Excellent care and a very friendly staff. Dr Machen always concerned about her patients and cost.
It first time visit and I was treated exceptionally well. Shout out to Dr King and McElle!
Im a new patient and I couldnt be happier with the entire staff. They are so friendly, fast and make you feel so comfortable. Ill be using them for all my dental needs!
Our family went today for the first time and had a terrific experience. We will definitely let our friends know about our awesome service!
Dr. Machen and her staff are perfect in every way! I bring my family from South Carolina every year for our cleanings. Their knowledge and professionalism is unmatched!
My whole family goes to Machen Family Dentistry including my 2 and 4 year old and have never had a bad experience. They do a great job.
Clean. Friendly staff. They explained everything thoroughly. And I got to watch Netflix.
Love this office! Great with kids.
Awesome experience every time! The staff is very accommodating and very friendly! We refer everyone to Machen Family Dentistry!
Great place and service. Very pleased
They fixed all that was done wrong from another dentist....6 years later we couldnt be happier! Love Dr. Machen and her staff.
Least painful and expensive visit ever
Highly recommend!!
