“They made my experience so wonderful, and single handedly changed my feelings about going to a dentist.”
“Dr. Linger has been my dentist for many years. Heʼs always done an excellent job with my dental care and has gone out of his way to help me. On top of all that he has a great “tooth-side” manner. I got married a year ago and now my wife and kids see him and love him. One of the best parts about it all is that while heʼs drilling a cavity I can watch the Golf Channel with a headset on.”
“Dr. Lingerʼs practice and staff are totally phenomenal in every aspect; from personable check-ins to sincere and personalized follow-ups with major surgeries. Iʼm not afraid to go to the dentist anymore!”
"My family and I are very pleased and grateful for Dr. Linger and his team. They are very good at what they do and we appreciate the relaxed and comfortable environment. They are always willing to explain the things completely and help us make the best choices for our dental health. Friendly, knowledgeable, and professional at all times. William Linger, DDS, MAGD is the BEST dentist in Charlotte!"
“Dr. Lingerʼs attention to detail,expertise and skill truly sets his work apart from other dental experiences Iʼve had in the past. Having the latest technologies has saved me time and money.”
“Dr. Linger, Well, itʼs been about 72 hours since you completed stage four of my new smile and to say the least…I am totally thrilled with the result. You are the ultimate Doctor.
Your concerns about me, making me feel comfortable and doing all the right things were not overlooked. Even though I am just another patient, you made me feel like I was the only one you had. I was and am overwhelmed by your patience with someone like me that obviously has to deal with big-time anxiety in a Dentistʼs office.
MANY, MANY THANKS TO YOU! I just wanted to say how grateful I am that you were able to do this for me. Without the help and skill of your staff. I would have been more of a basket case than I already am when I walk into any dentist office. You guys made me feel comfortable with all that you did.
Once again, thank you and your staff for making my smile what it is today. My life has changed because of this procedure (for the better I must add) and it all happened because of you and your staff.”
“The team I have worked mostly with are pure gems. They know what I prefer (blanket, white nitrous mask, movies) and are sure to have it all in place ready for me.
The bedside manner is unparalleled, as they check in with you as you are being treated, keep you informed of what is happening (if you want), and ensure your comfort — in a special way.
Itʼs hard to explain, but you just know itʼs different when you are there!”
“It has been a long journey but if I can do it, anyone can. I was so afraid to go to the dentist based on several past unpleasant experiences that I tried to do my own dental work by ordering Cavit over the internet, a temporary fix for cavities. Dr. Linger and his high performance team are awesome. They showed that they cared from day one and continue to do so. Today, I look forward to my dental visits with little apprehension. Keep up the super fantastic work!!”
“Dr. Linger solved a big problem for me. I have had work done by dental specialists previously but the one-stop shop that Dr. Linger maintains works well.
You donʼt need to coordinate work between specialists. During the past year, Dr. Linger performed a sinus lift, bone grafting, and five implants in both sides of my mouth.
The outcome is amazing. His clinic has the latest equipment, his staff is super friendly.
There is a family feeling to his practice. With the latest equipment, the cleaning is done in far less time than in a traditional dental office. Above all, Dr. Linger is a truly skilled dental professional
Once you meet Dr. Linger and more so after you see his professional work, all your concerns would dissipate. He is truly a master of a variety of dental specialties.”
“What I appreciate as a consumer of excellent provider services (to the point of research prior, and a consult with Dr. Linger and staff) is that Dr. Linger and his staff make special efforts to ensure you are Number One.
Itʼs not only about stellar dentistry (which is a given with Dr. Linger) it about the care in the chair and the aftercare. Itʼs like you are with family.
They take note of your needs and be sure they are met. Dr. Linger is careful, and fussy about his approach — doing what is right, not what is easy or just what I happen to want. I had so much work by Dr. Linger that I feel very confident in saying what I have.
The visits are easily over 10, and I look forward to them. Thatʼs the truth. I miss the staff, and they welcome me like an old friend when I return. The highest of marks to all of them. And, yes, they are a little more expensive, but stand behind all their work, for life. Priceless.”
“Dr. Linger and his team are the best! Iʼve been coming here for years (my secret). This team is on top of the latest methods and mechanics of the profession.
A gentle and confident touch makes one feel very confident in their expertise. Going to the dentist is not my favorite thing but the pleasant and friendly atmosphere is refreshing here.
You people are my family! I love all of you.”
“Absolutely hands down the best Iʼve ever been to! Their sedation dentistry thing is the greatest service ever. I think of them as the “technology dental office” since they have all the latest gear and gadgets to make the experience be as subtle as possible.
Itʼs not often that you find such a great service, and these guys seem to be doing it right in every aspect. Iʼve obviously always dreaded going to the dentist, but now itʼs almost a joy knowing that Iʼm in such good hands.”
“My family and I have been patients of Dr. Linger's office for over ten years. We found Dr. Linger because my husband needed dental work but needed to be sedated for the smallest procedures. After watching the care he was given by Dr. Linger and his staff I made appointments for myself and our children. I wholeheartedly trust Dr. Linger and his staff with our dental and oral healthcare needs!
The staff is top notch! We have been very lucky to have built a great relationship with them. I know they truly care for us and our children.
They have even added an anti-anxiety (hypoallergenic) dog to their family. Sadie is a wonderful addition and is the sweetest ever!“
“I have referred numerous patients to him only because he is the best. My friends that I refer agree wholeheartedly and thank me for introducing them to such a stellar dentist and staff.
If you don't love your dentist, you will love Dr. Linger and he is great at what he does.”
“Dr. Linger and the entire staff are like family! Going to the dentist is no longer something I dread, in fact, I get a little excited since I enjoy talking to every single one of them!
We were referred to Dr. Linger after a horrible experience with another dentist and it was the best thing we did! He addresses every issue and very patient with our questions, concerns, fears, etc. I highly recommend Dr. Linger and his staff!”
“Dr. Linger, since you completed my new smile to say the least…I am totally thrilled with the result! Your concerns about me, making me feel comfortable and doing all the right things were not overlooked. I feel truly blessed that I have you as my Dentist. My life has changed because of this procedure (for the better I must add) and it all happened because of you and your staff."
“Bill is an expert in the field of dentistry as well and is an extraordinary individual that I have had the pleasure to call my dentist, my client, and my friend. Professionally he is easy and reliable to do business with as he has been my client for several years. As a dentist he has a cutting edge practice and staff that make them a pleasure to do business with for yourself and your family. The overall package that is Dr. Bill Linger is a rare combination of all the good things and none of the bad. In any capacity Dr. Bill Linger will be an asset to you and is one of the good guys!”
“Bill is an excellent dentist. Our entire family goes to him. The entire staff is professional and friendly. I have had very detailed and extensive work done and the results are amazing. We actually look forward to visiting the dentistʼs office!”
“I recently switched to Dr. Linger, and was amazed at the thoroughness, quality, and attention to the customer. His practice is the best dentist practice I have ever worked with. I can honestly say I no longer dread going to the dentist.”
“I have been a patient of Bill Linger for two years. I will recommend him to everyone. I receive great dental care from his entire office. Bill is a very caring person.”
“Why would someone drive all the way from Lenoir, N.C. for their dental care (A risk of 1.5 hours each way)? There are two main reasons: Great service culture. Everybody in this organization provides great service and staying current – This is a staff that constantly works hard to stay up-to-date in their field. Iʼve found it an unbeatable combination! Great service!”
“Because of Dr. Lingerʼs academically prestigious qualifications, I was able to have a soft tissue graft/frenectomy performed at his office without the need to also visit a periodontist as I would have had to do were I to see another dentist in the Charlotte area. I am greatly satisfied with Dr. Linger work, both with the results of this procedure and the bonding he performed on my teeth. The costs for services may be above average, but the professional, highly trained hygienists/dentist one gets in return are definitely worthwhile. Plus, Dr. Lingerʼs office offers payment plans for higher priced services. Finally, all staff at the office are expertly professional, understanding, and kind. I would undoubtedly recommend this dentist to others.”
“William Linger is an amazing dentist excellent with children very patient and attentive. I took my daughter in today she is the type that get scared and nervous but dr linger made the whole procedure go smooth she didnʼt cry didnʼt complain at all. I ʼm very pleased and satisfied with his work. I recommend him to you. Two thumbs up”
