    My daughter had her wisdom teeth out with sedation and Dr. Briggs did amazing! Clean office and friendly staff.

    I'm terrified of the dentist, but when I came here they made me feel comfortable. From the time I walked in until the time I walked out!

    I've been to half a dozen different dentists in Tyler and Athens & most of them are your typical…read moresmall conversation rhetoric and average work performed for a hefty bill even with insurance. I had some pretty hefty work done with Dr Rigney and here is my honest takeaway : Key difference with my three visits at Athens Advanced dental was, Dr Risinger was not there to give me bs or talk to me like a child. He was courteous , patient and stating the facts of what he believed was best for me with options. I felt like he wasn't trying to sell me on anything, just the facts and answered every one of my many questions. I also felt zero pain with major work done. He was the only dentist in 10 years that took his time to explain any and all concerns I had including insurance questions and didn't make me feel like I was just a sale. Great doctor and an amazing staff. 5 stars.

    This is the most unprofessional dentist office! They do shady billing and try to say your…read moreinsurance won't cover certain items, so they don't file the claim for the items. They charge you full price for the items they don't file the claim for. When you call them out on not filing they claim, Joann says she has to file a paper claim now and it takes 45 days. That is BS! I have been trying to get reimbursed since January this year and they give you the run around and blame my insurance company. Even had a conference call with my insurance company and Joann that does the billing because my insurance wanted to know why they didn't file the claim. The dentist is a whole different story as well! He comes in, doesn't speak to you, gets an attitude with the dental assistant and degrades her constantly because she isn't moving as fast as he thinks she should. Doesn't explain what he is going to do and is aggressive while working in your mouth.

    I've had lots of dental work over the years with crowns, root canals etc. I have been to more than…read morea few dentists. I can honestly say hands down that Dr. Coker and his entire staff are by far the best! Recently, my husband and I both had some cosmetic work done and he did an amazing job. Definitely won't find a better dental office in East Texas. Can't recommend them enough!

    I have known Dr. Rick Coker and his wife for at least 17 years. I ran into a emergency dilemma with…read moremy lower permanent retainer I had from having braces about 28 years ago. The left side came unglued and was springing up and poking me. Very painful!! I guess 28 years of the glue holding was a good long time, but time was up! I called my regular dentist and they could not help me, instead referred me to an orthodontist. I went there, and upon leaving I could tell what they did was not going to last, as it felt very thin for some reason. I was right, the very next morning, the retainer sprang loose again and I was in the same boat. I called Dr. Coker's office and spoke to Mary, who had me come in right away. I should have called Dr. Coker in the first place. I went in, and his assistant thoroughly applied the best adhesive ever and got my retainer back in place. I imagine it will hold another 28 years or better! I would highly recommend Dr. Coker's Smile Studio for any and all tooth situations and especially emergencies with your adhesive glue! They are a wonderful group and do terrific work. I will definitely go back again and again. Highly recommend!! Kim Harden
