This dental practice still has Dr. Lee Warren's name on the sign, but he is no longer practicing at…read moreall. If you go to this practice, you will see his daughter, Dr. Blair Warren. You do not want to do that. Her father, Dr. Lee Warren, was my dentist for over 30 years. Dr. Lee Warren was experienced, knowledgeable, precise, and an expert at his profession. He had a comforting bedside manner and always kept you at ease. Dr. Blair Warren is the opposite of all of those things. I had hoped to continue using this practice after Dr. Lee Warren retired, but I have no desire to see Dr. Blair Warren again. She is new to the profession, so mistakes are expected. People need a dentist they can trust. She is not that dentist. She does not have the worst bedside manner I've experienced, but I would not rate it higher than tolerable. There is an underlying tension in the staff. When I have mentioned this perceived tension, they get very quiet and start looking around to see if anyone is listening. They don't say, "Oh, you know, good days and bad days." Instead, they furtively say as little as possible. "Dr. Blair" comes across as a bit of a princess who is accustomed to the finer things in life. And you are going to pay for them. This practice has always been one of the most expensive in town. They charge a good bit beyond what an insurance company considers "usual and customary", more so than other dentists, so you can expect to pay more out-of-pocket. When her father Dr. Lee Warren was practicing, it was worth it. That is no longer the case. Dr. Blair Warren is new and inexperienced. I'm sure she will learn along the way, but I will not pay premium prices to be a blip on the learning curve of an unpleasant, inexperienced dentist.

The receptionist who took my request for a new patient appointment was a joy to speak with. Her warmth could be felt over the phone. The office itself is gorgeous, and easy to access. My hygienist was friendly and very easy going on my teeth, as I hate the scraping feeling. She gave me solid recommendations for doing a little better on my tooth care and was informative. The dentist himself was very reserved when I met him, but polite and kind. He did his exam and recommend a consult service but in no way did I feel pressured to have to follow through with it. That was a nice gesture. Overall, really quite happy with my first visit and looking forward to future visits.

The mistreatment and disrespect my mother and I received at Cox's office this morning was an…read moreabsolutely disgusting experience. She has been his patient for a few years so I already knew her past trauma with them. I am mom's caregiver. She is elderly and wears dentures. Cox fitted her about 3 years ago but it took 4 tries over the course of 6 months to get it right. Mom was in constant pain from sores because the denture didn't fit right. The sores had to heal so she couldn't wear the teeth at all between the multiple mis-fittings, and wasn't able to eat solid food. She dropped weight as a result and having no teeth affected her self-esteem, so it was a difficult and stressful time for her. Finally Cox got them fitted right and all was well until a recent cleaning when they insisted she needed them adjusted because she lost weight. Mom did not request this and even told them the dentures were comfortable. She was apprehensive and didn't want to risk it or go without teeth, but Cox's office persisted. They called our house and left messages for weeks, promising everything would be fine. Mom finally consented after many times saying no and telling them she was worried. They made the adjustments and she described to Cox how one side felt higher, but was ignored and they sent her home saying if you need anything just call. When she chewed, the edge of the denture was sharp and cut her. I found her in pain on the sofa holding the side of her face and her denture had blood on it from the cut, and she couldn't finish her meal. I went to Cox's website to make an appointment and indicated an emergency, stating details about the sore and needing to be seen right away. Mom couldn't sleep last night for being upset and in pain. Before daylight she woke me up that she was in A-fib for 1 hour. We went to urgent care and the doc confirmed the main cause for this A-fib episode was her stress and anxiety from this situation. He said there is a bad ulcer in her mouth and told us to go to Cox and tell him HE said to fix the problem NOW. Those were the doctor's words verbatim. We got home at 10:30 a.m. and expected Cox's office to have called about the appointment but nope. So I called and explained how mom's denture caused an ulcer and that Dr. G** was sending mom to them today to have the denture fixed. When we got there mom sweetly explained the entire situation to the receptionist who said she was putting the notes on mom's chart. Then mom sweetly explained it to the hygienist and asked for something to put on the sore like Orajel but the hygienist didn't acknowledge mom's request and showed NO empathy or compassion. When Cox came in, he first asked mom if she slept in the denture and mom said no, that she was trying to eat. He said, "You never want to sleep in them, make sure you take them out before bed." I confirmed to him "She takes them out before bed but she wasn't able to sleep last night at all. This happened when she was eating, she says she felt something sharp back there cutting her." He ignored me and started grinding the denture, telling mom there was nothing sharp on it, that maybe she had just felt a pinch, that he only sees a tiny sore, and talked about how all of this is perfectly normal anytime you get an adjustment. Completely dismissive. I told him we didn't understand why she needed an adjustment and how it brought on anxiety and trauma for her to the point she had a life-threatening emergency. As a healthcare provider he needed to know of her past trauma and how she had been scared to do this adjustment when Cox became furious at me and snapped "Do you think I just do this out of the kindness of my heart?" He defensively said he had nothing to do with her A-fib and took his mask down from his face, visibly very angry at me, berating me right over my mom's head as she laid there in pain and with a heart condition. He told me to "get out" and waved his arm. I said "She told me you guys have been nice to her and I appreciate that but I don't want her to come here anymore after all of this." And Cox said, "Neither do I" and he got up and totally left my mom laying down there helpless. Then the hygienist handed me the denture and I said "My mom is your patient and is your priority so you need to fix this (the denture)." She smirked and said with sarcasm, "We're done, bye" and she left too, and we could hear them down the hall laughing while we sat there in tears for this awful day. While I was in the bathroom, my mom found Cox and crew and they had the nerve to tell her they were offended by me and thought I was accusing them of causing her A-fib. She had to explain it all over again to them and then they acted happy and finished her denture. How dare they dispose of her like that and try to get sympathy from her that they were offended, instead of focusing on how to keep her safe and healthy.
