Donovan Family Dentistry, LLC

My experience with Donovan Family Dentistry has been fantastic. Thanks to Miranda I was able to get an early appointment as I had severe teeth abscesses in my mouth and needed immediate help. When I arrived, Tara took excellent care of me and explained in detail each step she was taking any why it is to my benefit. Once Dr. Koolkin saw me, his diagnosis and subsequent treatment saved me from an emergency visit to the hospital. There are not enough superlatives to thank these guys and I deeply appreciate all that they have done for me.

My visit with Dr. Donovan was awesome. I was looking for a dentist who did not make me feel like I was in a factory, being rushed in and out with a huge bill that you have no idea what it entails. His staff is very warm and friendly. Everyone made me feel extremely welcome. I have found the dentist that will take care of my teeth for years to come.

I have never been to a better dentist than
Dr. Donovan. He and his staff are kind and caring, concerned and accommodating. I first met
Dr. Donovan a number of years ago when I had called my own dentist because I had an excruciatingly painful toothache and was told that he could not see me that day. I called Dr. Donovan‘s office and he made room for me to get in within 10 minutes… He gave me an injection and wrote me a prescription for amoxicillin and in no time I was doing 100% better! Brenda, his oral hygienist, is wonderful. Normally I dread going to the dentist, especially to get my teeth cleaned, but not anymore! Bonnie, the receptionist is so kind and also perceptive… She knows my voice when I call and Can always make room to get me in. If it were possible to give this office 10 stars, I would do so! They are great!

Excellent dentist and great rapport with both kids and adults. Dr. Donovan truly cares about the patient to ensure a positive experience at the dentist office.

As someone who had some challenging childhood experiences with the dentist, all I can say is thank the good Lord for Dr. Donovan and his staff. Best. Dentist. Ever. Love the office staff, love my hygienist and love my recent experience with the gal who assisted Dr. Donovan with my crowns. That says a LOT.
Bless you all.

I cannot say enough about the compassion and care provided by Dr. Donovan and his entire staff. They have great patience and understanding especially with patients with "dental anxiety". I HIGHLY recommend this practice!

I feel very well taken care of with Dr. Donovan. His hygienist did a great job, and Dr. Donovan actually examined my teeth, unlike my previous dentist. Also, no one is trying to sell you something, which was my complaint about the dentist I left. Five stars!

I was visiting Beaufort from Australia when I developed an extremely painful tooth ache. I emailed several dentists late at night. Dr Donovan phoned me that night and arranged to see me the next day even though it was his day off. When I saw Dr Donovan, it was clear he was highly skilled and professional as well as being a really good bloke. I cannot speak too highly of him. Following his treatment my tooth calmed down and I was able to enjoy the rest of my trip.

I was a little nervous going in for a cleaning since I had not been to the Dentist in 3 years. Dr. Donovan and his staff were very friendly and put me at ease. I would highly recommend this practice to anyone in the Beaufort area and have already referred many friends his way.

Dr. Donovan is an excellent dentist and has built a beautiful state of the art practice. I am very confident in his skills and caring attitude. The staff is friendly and professional. Highly recommend!

We drive from Okatie to Donovan Family Dentistry, so that should say something! Three of our four family members see Doctor Donovan. Our youngest will see him when she is old enough. As a busy family, with 2 FT careers, a teenager in HS and a toddler, they are ALWAYS able to get us in and with the text message appointment reminders, we NEVER miss an appointment. Love them!

I am a nervous dental patient--but Dr.Koolkin and Tara worked together as a well oiled machine to get my dental work completed thoroughly and promptly. I appreciate the attention to detail and comfort, and am glad to be returning to such a great office in a few weeks for my second follow up appointment.

I have been to a lot of different dentist over the course of time and I must say doctor Donovan is the best. His staff is also awesome never have an issue with anyone there. I would also like to Doctor Donovan and his staff I am able to eat foods that I haven't been able to eat for years. I tell everyone I know about him.

First time visit to this Dentist Office. Laura (my Hygenist) was awesome, gentle, and explained what she was doing or going to do as she cleaned and polished my teeth. Had x-rays done. Dr. Donovan was phenomenal, explained in detail regarding my concerns and purpose of my visit. Met and exceeded my expectations. The absolute favorite take-away from this visit was the very thing I cannot stand about going to the Dentist, and that is normally the "upsell" and pressure to get this done and that done. None of that here, they let you know what concerns they see, and guide you from there. They are not trying to sell you a "New Smile", "Whiter Teeth", etc. Give this practice a try. You will be so glad you did!

Terrific dental practice. The folks there were wonderful, especially considering I am a big wimp when it comes to seeing the dentist! Made seeing the dentist easy. I won't say a pleasure as it is one of the least favorite things I have to do! Great practice!

I’m moving to Beaufort, as my wife and I have been building a home for the past two years. Anyway, I’m having an issue with a tooth, and my wife calls to see if they can see me. Well, the office staff bends over backwards to get me in. I meet the dentist, Dr Koolkin......he’s so professional. He explains everything, in detail. And, you know he’s being honest. I wish all the sub contractors I met building a home were as conscientious as this Dr. I’m afraid of the dentist a bit, but they make it easy. I’m glad I found them. Thanks! A great experience.

We love this Dentist! The whole staff was wonderful with my 10, 5, and 3 year old children. I had to have a filling recently, the dentist told me I needed novacain, and I didn’t even feel the needle stick in my gum, he is that good. Highly recommend

Outstanding care, as always. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable, building is bright, clean, and happy. Hygienist and Dr Donovan both were thoughtful and careful with my need to take breaks during cleaning due to TMJ, and recommended practical solutions to help with pain!

Great service! Usually a new patient consultation requires you to make a whole new appointment for a cleaning, but they did it then and there. The staff was nice and helpful too. I even got a little goodie bag with dental related things.

I've been going to Dr. Donovan for years. He always gets his patients in quickly. The staff and dentists are friendly and courteous. Makes going to the dentist a pleasure.
