Donald Marks Family Dentistry

While I haven't been to see Dr.Marks myself YET ( but will be soon), his office staff has been able to help our family out in several situations where we needed dental attention quickly. I so appreciate the helpful nature of the office staff~ They are friendly, understanding, and nothing seems to be a problem for them. Other dental offices should look upon this office as a great example on how to treat patients!

Dr. Marks has been my personal Dentist since 1977. Dr. Marks is by far one of the most excellent doctors in all of State College. His dedication to his patients is exemplary. Dr. Marks is very gentle, kind and compassionate. Dr. Marks is a perfectionist. All treatment is meticulously preformed. I am a retired root canal specialist living in State College. I am proud to give this superlative complement to my colleague. He deserves it!

Been coming to this office for years now. Have unfortunately, seen some great hygienist come and go. Mostly due to retirement and moved away. But, they are always thorough and do a great job. Don’t ever feel rushed and always provide full attentive service. Dr. Marks is always full of good advice and always does a thorough check after the hygienist.

I had my first appointment at Dr Marks office today, and it was wonderful! Morgan is a fantastic hygienist. She took the time to make sure that my teeth were clean and polished. Dr Marks’ exam was thorough and he made me feel like a valued patient. I would HIGHLY recommend this practice. Nothing to be afraid of here. Fantastic people and great service. Thanks again!

I just left my first ever appointment at Dr. Marks and have absolutely nothing but good things to say. Morgan was as professional, personable and knowledgeable as can be. It was almost like I wasn't actually at the dentist. She's the absolute best! Dr. Marks has a fantastic 'chairside' manner as well and it was apparent that he wanted to make sure I understood everything and didn't leave with any questions. I would 100% refer Dr. Marks dentistry to anyone and everyone - and make sure to ask for Morgan!

First time coming here and the staff was great. Dentist was timely, cleaning was easy and even with out of network insurance, I was surprised by the affordable cost. If you're concerned about covid, or any health issues the dentist is happy to sit and chat with you. I've never had a dentist sit with me for more than a few minutes to check my teeth

Dr. Marks treated me today with great results in just a few hours of notice although his schedule was completely full. All my visits with him for dental care and sleep apnea problems over the years have been just great. I am grateful for his expert knowledge and excellent practice and always caring accommodations. He is always at the forefront of learning new techniques and bringing in new appliances for providing the best service possible to his patients.

After years of miserable experiences with dentists who surprised me with extra costs, didn’t explain services well, or were rude and abrupt, this experience felt so good! The staff smiled, took their time explaining things, discussed costs and insurance coverage before proceeding, were gentle and pleasant as they worked, and worked well together as a team. The waiting area is filled with the soothing scent of an aromatherapy candle, and everything takes place in the exam room - no walking here and there for x-rays and photos - so it was a very easy, relaxed experience from the moment I arrived.

Without reservation, I would recommend this dental practice. Dr. Marks has been my dentist for the past 8 months. I have had extensive work done that allows me to evaluate more than a biannual check-up and teeth cleaning. Dr. Marks is gentle and thorough and is interested in my dental health, wellbeing, and expectations. The practice appears to use top-of-the-line digital technology to assist in innovative procedures and evaluations. Dr. Marks and staff make sure you feel welcome, cared for, and comfortable. The office is beautifully and serenely decorated. The greenery and open feel is warmly welcoming while maintaining privacy. Thank you Dr. Marks and staff for providing me with confidence in my dental care in 2021 and for the years to follow!

Thank you again, Regina.

This is my honest review of Donald Marks Family Dentistry as someone who is terrified of any and all dental work. I reached out as a new patient initially as I had just found a steady job in the State College area after graduation and I was having some inflammation of my gum and jaw from my wisdom teeth. The front office was amazing in gathering my information and helping me schedule as soon as possible. I am truly thankful for their effort in fitting me into their busy schedule. Upon arrival, the office had a very calming presence and I was greeted right away. The nurse/hygienist/doctor (I was still a bit nervous so I am so sorry that I forgot your name/title) where she went over my forms, allergies, and concerns. Since my jaw was swollen, it was hard for me to open my mouth so the doctor was nice enough to come in to personally examine me instead of forcing the xray into my mouth where it would have caused a lot of discomfort, which I was highly thankful for. As someone who is not familiar with dental terms and what might cause pain, the doctor was very patient with my questions and explained everything to me clearly and told me what he was doing and how he was going to do it. Both the doctor and hygienist truly went above and beyond what they had to do in talking to me about the process and helping me schedule an oral surgeon for my wisdom teeth removal. They were also extremely kind and patient in explaining what I could do in the main time to keep the area clean and as comfortable as possible. This was the best dental experience that I have had ever and I look forward to returning for my next cleaning appointment. Big shoutout to this amazing office for helping me out. Thank you!
