When my husband and I moved to Hampstead 12 years ago, a friend recommended Dr. Shumate. We both began going to see him for all our dental care and we have been very happy with that decision. Just this week, I had a sudden dental problem come up and I worried that I might have a problem getting an appointment on short notice. His wonderful staff were able to work me in the following day. Dr. Shumate is always so kind and friendly and keeps my teeth in great shape! You will always be glad to have chosen Porters Neck Cosmetic and Family Dentistry for your dental care. Thank you, Dr. Shumate!

My hygienist, Ashley, was the best! I felt comfortable the entire time which is usually hard for me to do at the dentist. I felt I received excellent care and advice from both her and Dr. King.

Porters Neck Dentistry is fantastic! My family and I have been going here for our checkups and cleanings for many years and always have a good experience. The staff is thorough and transparent and we always have a pleasant experience.

My husband and I wanted a Dentist closer to home. Wilmington traffic is unbearable! Dr. Shumate's office is only 15 min. away from home. We really lucked up. Dr. Shumate provides cosmetic dentistry, places dental implants, and offers family Dentistry. I visited Dr. Shumate, thinking I would...
My husband and I wanted a Dentist closer to home. Wilmington traffic is unbearable! Dr. Shumate's office is only 15 min. away from home. We really lucked up. Dr. Shumate provides cosmetic dentistry, places dental implants, and offers family Dentistry. I visited Dr. Shumate, thinking I would start there, but I also had to see an oral surgeon. Nope, Dr. Shumate placed my dental implants, and I love Dr. Dana. He is a perfectionist, kind, and a gentleman. Of course, my better half sees Dr. Lauren and is so happy with her work. He also enjoys going into their office. We both do, the staff is professional and well-trained. While the receptionists are respectful and professional. I couldn't ask for more!

1st day here was great! Staff were all super nice. Really liked chatting with the dentists as well as the dental assistants. Did a really good job of cleaning and photographing my teeth. They were all super friendly! And then there is the fact that Dr Shumate was the only dentist around here...
1st day here was great! Staff were all super nice. Really liked chatting with the dentists as well as the dental assistants. Did a really good job of cleaning and photographing my teeth. They were all super friendly! And then there is the fact that Dr Shumate was the only dentist around here that was able to repair a difficult / complex issue with my wifes teeth (dealing with severe allergies to Novocaine) - so yeah, needless to say, have been hopeful and highly impressed. Highly recommended!!

From the time you walk till the time you walk out you feel like family. As a nervous patient the entire staff made me feel at ease. Dr Shumate is very kind and takes the time to make sure you are well taken care of. And yes I took a fresh baked cookie from the lobby! Nice touch!
