I cannot recommend this office and staff enough! Not only do they offer early morning appointments…read moreso you don't have to miss school/work, but the staff is incredible. I have 3 children who also go with me and the hygienists are so patient and supportive. My middle child is a little anxious about her teeth and they let her take as long as she needs to feel comfortable. We all schedule our appointments together, which means that I usually have two kids in the room with me while another child is being treated and I have never felt like my children were a bother to the office. On our last visit I told them when my appointment started that I had to leave in less than an hour to get to another appointment and would have to forego needed services. Instead of making me wait another 6 months my hygienist told me to come later that afternoon and she would get everything taken care of. Seriously, the best of the best and we will never go anywhere else!

The office has a nice comfy and homey feel to it and that alone eliminates being nervous before any procedure. He has all the newest and modern tech equipment. When I've had crown procedures done at Dr. Buchanan's, it has always blown my mind that I can be done sometimes in less than 2 hrs. I can remember years ago it used to take several hours and sometimes scheduling an additional day to complete the process and get the finished crown. I just wanted to give Dr. Buchanan Signature Dentistry a big Shout Out and Thank You for the outstanding work you and your team do! You are the only dentist in Aiken for our family :-) Nancy H

So I went for my dental cleaning and it went well and I was feeling good about it, then the Dentist came in and told me I would have to go to a dentist over in Augusta that could sedate me. she said they didn't have enough sedation in that office for me..... so I found a really nice dental office in Augusta that does sedation dentistry and the dentist said i didn't need sedation that I did fine without it and she said I was the best patien they have. I'm so happy now and looking forward to going back. I guess thanks to Shirer dental I have found a really good Dentist.

I had my first dental appointment in three years today and, like many patients, I was nervous. The…read morehygienist was wonderful and made me feel comfortable. She answered all of my questions with patience and helped ease my nerves. Unfortunately, my experience changed dramatically once Dr. Patel came in. His approach was judgmental, dismissive, and unprofessional. I was made to feel inadequate simply because I did not know the difference between certain types of x-rays. I had already taken the time to confirm everything with my insurance company before this appointment, but even if there was miscommunication, there is no reason for a patient to be spoken to with such negativity. What was most telling is that another employee felt the need to apologize to me afterward. That alone speaks volumes. As a result, I canceled the appointments I had scheduled for my children later in the day because I would not subject them to that type of treatment. It is disheartening to have such an experience, especially after working up the courage to return to dental care following previous negative experiences. While the hygienist was excellent, I cannot in good conscience recommend this practice under Dr. Patel's care. I will be seeking a new dental office in the area.

They told me she didn't know what code they used to give to the insurance co. so I said I'll pay for the extra and then found I could not get appointments every 3 months they will only do every 6 months. OK. Well I started to have pain in a tooth and was told I needed a root canal on a tooth that had a crown, but according to the dentist this is no problem they put a tiny hole in the crown and seal it after the root canal. OK great ..all done. Next I go for my regular cleaning and the dentist says OH NO you have tooth decay on the that same tooth. Now they need to remove the cap, fix the decay and put a new cap on. Another $2,000. Get the decay fixed and new crown ordered. when I go back they tell me I ow $2,000. I tell them I already paid half on the last visit when you ordered the crown. Then they say it must of been a mistake It's $2,000. I had a fit in the place so everyone could hear. They then said they had a coupon and would only charge me $1,000. Had the tooth finished and told them they are thieves and I would not be back. It's 2 years later and guess what...The crown came off and when I took it to my new dentist he said he never saw anything like it with these pins sticking out of it. Needless to say the tooth is so close to the gum line there is nothing to be done except remove it and put in an implant which is what should of been done after the root canal. My husband stayed with them until he was out of the country on business. He text me and said he broke a tooth and asked me to call and make him an appointment for after he got home. Can you believe they would not let me make an appointment for him. They said he had to call himself even after I told her he was not in the country. He has now not gone back there.

So if you currently have an appointment with them make sure to call them EVERY DAY to let them know you have an appointment! If they send you a link to confirm , don't use it because it's pointless and they will cancel your appointment! What a joke! So disappointed in this company. They also need to hire another receptionist who isn't rude to potential customers. I would go zero stars for this company .
