Been a happy patient since Dr. Eaker started out. Very pleased to have Dr. Singleton & Dr. Borchardt take care of me now, and I mean genuine CARE, professional and personal. The team really does treat you like family; that’s why patients have stayed with the practice for decades. And Donna, hygienist, is wonderful!

I've had fillings my whole life and I've never had such a painless experience as I did with Dr. Juliet Borchardt. Everyone in the practice is friendly and professional. They don't push anything unnecessary and they use all the newest technology. I have never had to wait more than a few minutes before I am in a room and speaking with the hygienist. I'm so happy I switched to this practice.

Donna is a fabulous hygienist. She’s very smart; I learn something new with every visit. She’s also thorough and careful, precise and gentle. The time seems to go by quickly because Donna is so kind and pleasant.

I originally went to a different dentist when I moved to the NC area, but I didn’t fully trust the decisions they made with my teeth. I had a coworker who recommended Handcrafted Dentistry, and I’m so grateful. I LOVE THEM. My experience with them is above and beyond - in terms of their personal care and advanced technology (oh, and the comfiest dental chairs ever IYKYK) - I moved and now live 30 minutes from them but would NEVER change dentists. Could not recommend them more. They are a family, not a corporation 💜

At Handcrafted Dentistry, every hygienist is gentle and thorough, the front desk is friendly and efficient, emergency care is well managed, and exams and treatment plans are detailed with good follow up. Although I began many years ago with Dr. Eaker, I later continued with Dr. Singleton and Dr. Borchardt. They are all professional and attentive, and I highly recommend this practice.

I had a very thorough cleaning with a gentle touch with Allysa, our new hygienist. She got me in and out in a timely manner and was extremely personable and professional . All of the staff at Handcrafted dentistry are amazing….that’s why I have been a hygienist there for 37 years! Love you all! Donna

Very considerate, warm, and personable approach with a focus on prevention. I felt always comfortable, well informed, and receiving nuanced professional advice. No wonder I stuck with this practice now for mofe than 25 years! As healthcare professional with a schedule I appreciated the on time appointments and the timely phone responses. Thanks to all who make this dental practice so great!

Everyone at this practice treats you like a friend. Even though I have never loved a dentist office, I always look forward to seeing their smiling faces. They care. They really do. They don’t push for procedures if you are not ready. They share the issues and encourage. When the time comes they are gently and patient. I can’t imagine going anywhere else.
