Know what that tells me . Only there for the money . Yeah I can tell you almost 10 k for these visits to get dentures . Over priced if you ask me .

    I was initially very happy with my initial consultation and cleaning…read more However, two weeks ago I chipped my front tooth. Whenever I was an established patient and had a dental problem, my dentist would see me that day (if not the next). When I called Appalachian Dental Associates, they told me that the earliest that they could get me in was one WEEK. I was self-conscious, not happy, but I was able to deal with it. My appointment one week later was at 8:20am. I have a one hour commute to work/dentist. The traffic was heavy, the weather was bad, I made a wrong turn. I arrived at the office at 8:31am (life happens). I was told that they had a 10 minute late policy (that isn't documented anywhere) and that I had to reschedule. I said "I am only one minute late?" ... the office manager was extremely rude and said "No, you are 11 minutes late," like I was a child. I have never been treated this way in my life. I said that I would wait, but they told me that I had to reschedule because they had double booked the whole day . This is the worst dental experience that I have ever had.

    I was a new patient at Cataloochee Dental in Franklin, NC and it was determined I needed a molar…read moreextraction. As I had a molar extraction before and found it a difficult procedure, I was prescribed valium and I was told I could pick it up at the pharmacy that day. At the pharmacy, I was told they hadn't received the prescription. The same thing happened after I called a second time. Two days before my extraction, I called to ask for it for the third time. This time I got it, but there were no instructions on the bottle on how and when to take it. I called the office to find out. My call was not returned until the day of the appointment, when they called to say they had forgotten to call me back. Not a problem, I took one an hour before. We left on time for the appointment (my husband was required to drive me) but encountered workers clearing cut trees from the road. We couldn't wait the 30 minutes they said it would take to clear the road, so we backtracked, which would mean arriving 20-30 minutes later to the appointment. I immediately called the office to let them know I would be a little late. I was told that it they could not do the extraction because of the delay. Understand, I had taken the day off, my husband had cleared his morning, I had drugged my self in preparation, and now they were telling me to forget it. This experience ruined my confidence in them and I am so disappointed that I intend to find a new dentist. My husband, also a patient at Cataloochee dental, was told that his crown work would be split between two dentists. He was uncomfortable with this plan to begin with, but after my experience, he too will take his business elsewhere.

    My visit to Gillespie Dental Associates was the most positive new patient appointment I have ever…read morehad. From the start, the staff in the front promptly returned my call to set up an appointment. The hygienist, Hannah was so lovely. She had the space set up in a cozy manner with lamps and gentle music playing. Throughout each step she was communicative, careful, and attentive. Then, Dr. Patel arrived and continued to provide the same level of compassion and attentiveness. I would highly recommend this practice who anyone who has dentist appointment apprehensive like I did in the past.

    I have moved on from Dr. Gillespie, with good reason. I now have a dentist who is kind, patient,…read morewalks me through cleanings and procedures with exactly what he is going to do. He takes time to explain, and is happy to pause and take a break if needed. Gillespie is the exact opposite of this. He threatens underage patients with being held down, does not adhere to patients request for the level of numbing, and does not seem to understand the meaning of consent. I requested no numbing for a tooth being pulled - he pulled the majority of the tooth (the remainder of which later was flicked out by another dentist who didn't think I needed numbing at all), and proceeded to be emotionally/verbally abusive trying to force me into an injection. I will never return to this office, and I certainly would never dream of bringing my children here. If you're looking for a kind and decent dentist, steer clear of this office.
