Patient stories
Loved by Clemson families
5.0 average rating
“I broke a tooth over the weekend and called Fort Hill for help. They were able to schedule me for an appointment two hours later. I was in/out in one hour with a new filling and no more pain. Excellent dentistry.”
“Best dentist I have ever been to! Despite my previous history with other dentistries and the fears they instilled in me, they gave me a whole new outlook on dentistry and what the good side of it is.”
“It is hard to imagine a better dentist than Marc Paap. I hadn't been to a dentist for a while and I needed both a root canal and an extraction. His care of me was exceptional and his staff is great. No kidding, best dentist ever.”
“Wonderful dental practice. Everyone is professional, thorough, courteous, polite, and cordial. They'll inform you in advance of any costs associated with any future dental work. There are no surprises. Really enjoy each visit.”
“Dr. Paap, Michelle and the rest of the Fort Hill team provide superior dental care while making you feel at home. Dr. Paap does an incredible job explaining what my dental procedures entail in ways I can easily understand.”
“As a first time patient I was very impressed with this practice. Extremely thorough cleaning with their amazing dental hygienist, and Dr. Paap is very friendly. If you live in or around Clemson, I highly recommend.”
