My husband and I switched from Staunton Dental Care to Willis Family Denistry and we’re so glad we did!! Staunton Dental Care quoted me a treatment plan of $8000! Thankfully, I got a second opinion with Willis and spent around $300 to get my teeth fixed.. The staff is phenomenal, the dentist is knowledgeable and thorough. The prices are fair as well. Thanks Melissa and staff for all your help and kindness because I’m the biggest baby when it comes to the dentist.
Felicia F. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I received excellent dental care. Dr. Podbesek has a very easy going chair-side manner that puts you at ease and all the staff from the front office to the hygienists have been great. All procedures were explained so I knew what to expect. This is a fantastic group. I would definitely recommend this dental practice to family and friends. Thanks for making this my best dental experience ever.

I have been to quite a few dentists but I have found that Dr Willis is 1 of the best! when it comes to my teeth I’m a big baby. I went 2 his office today with a chipped tooth to be fixed I never even felt the needle to be numbed and almost fell a sleep while he was fixing my tooth. Dr Willis and his staff are the best!!!
Michelle S. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Went there to primarily get a tooth extraction. Jessica ,the hygienist, was very friendly, intelligent and showed care and concern. Dr. Levo was very professional. He did a great, simple job with the extraction. Felt zero pain. However the only reason this wasn’t a five star experience is because I felt very pressured by the dentist to get a root canal or crownings instead of the extraction. I am on a little budget and have no insurance so I could not afford the plan they wanted me to have. Jessica seemed understanding to my situation but Dr. Levo didn’t as much. It felt like his whole attitude changed when I opted for the cheap extraction instead (which was my reason for being there). I would definitely go back if this happens to another tooth but I am hesitant if they are going to pressure me again into more expensive options.
Ryan B. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Amazing service. Dr. Tuan Levo was very personable. He made sure my toothache issue was resolved very quickly. He was very knowledgable, and made sure my visit was a fun one (Which anyone knows, going to the dentist is never fun). I would highly recommend this office to friends. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!
Jamie S. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This is my first time into the Fishersville office and this is by far my favorite office to visit. I was greeted and taken care of by the outgoing front office staff with a smile on their faces and were very polite. Krysta was the dental assistant that helped me out and she was amazing. Very polite, made me feel very comfortable, and knew what she was doing. Dr. Podbesek, also again was great and helped solve the problem I was having. I will recommend them to all friends and family and be back to this location for all future dentistry work.

Dr Podbesek is great. He is one of the Associates with Willis Dentistry. You cannot go wrong seeing him. He really cares and will give you an accurate treatment plan. I have been working in dentistry for over 20 years and am very particular who works on my teeth and my children. Trust me there are a lot of dentist who are all about the money but Dr Brian Podbesek is not one of them. He will give you an accurate treatment and everything will not always be a crown or three surface filling. He takes time to explain things and discuss options if any are to be had. He does not expect your trust, he earns it. Behind scene that you don’t see he is always studying charts, or preparing for big and small cases. If looking for a dentist in this area I would advice you to see Dr Brian Podbesek in Fishersville.
Jenny V. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Have been going to this dentist since I moved here in 2012. The first time was an emergency – one of my crowns had come out – and they took me immediately. They were caring and efficient, and I’ve been going to them ever since. The hygienist is wonderful and friendly, and the dentist is very professional, but also friendly and easy to talk to. I was very impressed at how he explained his findings. The receptionists are courteous and friendly, and there is never a long wait. This entire practice goes the “extra mile” to make me feel cared for and welcome.
