“I couldn’t be more pleased with my experience at Harbor Pointe Dental; the staff was great and Dr. Ellsworth was phenomenal! He explained everything before and after the procedure and was very concerned that I wasn’t in any pain. I couldn’t believe that he actually called me at home that evening to check on me. I would highly recommend him to anyone and everyone👍❤️”

Dr. Ellsworth goes above and beyond to make sure patients are comfortable and that they have a positive experience. He is intuitive to patients’ needs and makes sure they are met. Even though I drive over an hour to their office, I don’t want to go anywhere else!”

“Best dental experience I’ve ever had! They are very knowledgeable and great at explaining what they’re doing and what they feel should be done for future care. They made the whole experience very comfortable for me from the second I walked through the door. Everyone is so kind and had a smile on their faces not to mention they all are quite funny! Overall a fun and enjoyable dentist visit!”
