The oral hygienists are super friendly, conscious, dextrous and caring. He was very gentle at pulling out a healthy tooth I didn't want anymore. He didn't recommend it but I hated the food getting stuck in there. He pulled it out with literally no pain or anything. Sometimes they clean your teeth with the water jet which signals every nerve in your body to sense pain but afterwards, it is worth it. I recommend this place 100% and I hate the orthodontist. I really like him because he's always straight to the point, very knowledgeable, and cool.

I am one of those people who has a fear of dentists. Blame my childhood dentist back in Gary,…read moreIndiana whose nickname was "the butcher". So, don't judge, but I had not been to the dentist in nearly two years, since I moved to Bloomington from California. I loved my dentist in California and so I took my time finding a dentist in Bloomington. (plus I just didn't want to go) Dr Arnold's reviews were glowing, and even though my partner has a different dentist here in B-town, I decided to try Dr Arnold based on Yelp reviews. The office is a bit hard to find if you aren't familiar with the Eastside of town. It is sort of behind the now-closed Marsh store, in a mini mall next to a dance studio and a waxing salon. Plenty of parking in the lot. Courtney was my hygienist today and she was wonderful. She listened to my ramblings about how much I hate the dentist. She was mellow and I felt like she gave my teeth a very thorough cleaning. She was just the right combination of quiet and talkative during the cleaning. (my hygienist in California was very chatty and it's hard to answer questions with sharp instruments in your mouth). There is a tv on the ceiling so you can watch while you have your cleaning. Courtney caught on fast that the show on the History channel was about mass murderers (not a very calming show) and she switched the channel to ESPN for me. Next Dr Arnold (Bill) came in and introduced himself. He was great. Very down to earth and approachable. We chatted a bit about California and then he began his exam. Again, great exam and he gave me advice about some tooth sensitivity I have been experiencing. Next appointment is six months from now and even though I will still be freaked out, I won't be AS freaked out. Definitely recommend. If you have been putting off a dental exam, go see Dr Arnold.

The woman at the front desk acted like I was crazy out of my mind for saying I had an appointment today . They offered no apologies. and made no attempt to reschedule. They did tell me that I could wait an hour because the hygienist had a patient at 12:30, which was supposed to be me. Prior to this, I had billing problems with them. One time they didn't bill my insurance. When questioned, they said it was because the image of the card I sent them was blurry. Instead of telling me that it was blurry and asking me to send a new one, they just didn't bill insurance and kept sending me bills. ??? I sent a new clearer image to the 2-to-3 different phone numbers they told me to text it to and I guess one of them finally worked and they billed insurance. Then they told me there was a balance still due so I called and the woman, and over the phone she said the remaining balance was $23 so I paid it. Two days later I got a bill for $44. It's just these weird expenses and a very disorganized scheduling and building system. Today the woman at the front desk, even though I was clearly upset when I left shouted "have a nice day!" after me in a passive aggressive way. The hygienist I had was good but the billing and front desk staff are unacceptably bad. I'm happy to be moving.

Dr. Cummings thoughtfully answers my most off-the-wall questions about his treatment plan and dental health in general, and then says, "call me back if you have any more questions".

I just wish there were more medical professionals out there who treat their patients with this kind of respect.

One tooth was so incredibly painful! They told me that the soonest I could get in was today, January 30th. I think this was 3 months after I called. They told me in the meantime, I could go to the emergency room, or get antibiotics from my doctor. My doctor did help me, thank goodness! They texted me that I had an appointment today, which I was aware of. I didn't know I needed to text back. I also missed a phone call from them the same day. Apparently, they cancelled my appointment and I didn't know. I went in today with my husband who took the day off from work to be with me. My anxiety was already high because it was a brand new dentist office for me and I was nervous about my broken teeth. The office manager came out to explain what had happened. At first she said my appointment was cancelled because I didn't respond to the text, then she told me it was cancelled because someone was sick that day. That made me upset, because I felt like she wasn't being honest with me. I asked her which one was it and she got angry with me! She raised her voice and started yelling at me that I was being hostile! I was upset that my appointment had been cancelled, the fact that I had waited 3 months to even get in with 2 broken/infected teeth, she was being deceptive about why they had to cancel, and also, the text didn't make sense and had improper grammar. I didn't read all of it the day I got it, because the first sentence was just confirming the appointment that I had made. I asked her to speak to someone else (hoping to stop the yelling she was doing), but she said that she was it and she was the office manager. She wax extremely rude and condescending and kept talking over me. I asked her to please stop and can we just look at the next available appointment? She got belligerent and told me she was done with me and to leave. I have NEVER been spoken to in that way from an 'office manager '. I'm glad that I did leave because if that's what they see as professional, I don't want to have any part of their business. They need to be more understanding and empathetic when it comes to stressful situations. They definitely shouldn't have someone so rude representing their office. It was disgusting and demeaning! I don't know how the service of the technicians and dentists were because I never got to see them. Instead of giving me the run around and trying to put me in my place do the was 'right ', all she had to do was calmly say, "I'm sorry there was miscommunication, let's see when we can get you in next time." She argued and blamed me instead snd said I was being hostile. She definitely shouldn't be working in a customer care position!!!

The first time he entered the stall with the intent of pulling a tooth, luckily I stopped him before he completed the task. The second time he started the visit by reprimanding me for not getting 8 cavities filled at my last visit, again he had mixed up my chart with another patient. The last straw was when at a visit I told him I had been waking up in the morning with a tense jaw and was afraid that I had developed night time grinding and asked for recommendations on how to manage it. He rolled his eyes and said, "just stop". Not exactly the most helpful suggestion for managing an involuntary activity when you're asleep. I switched dentists and discovered that I have a misalignment contributing to night time bruxism which was treated with a bite guard and adjustment.

I liked his office,…read morehowever, their dental equipment is not modern (you rinse with a paper cup and spit into a sink) and I never felt like I was getting the best possible cleaning from the hygienist. My partner has been going to BFD since we moved here, so I decided to give them a try. Went in today and had x-rays taken with state of the art equipment. Andrea, the hygienist, was great. She explained everything she was doing. She then gave me a really excellent cleaning. I honestly felt like the first REAL cleaning my teeth had since moving to Bloomington (even though I just had one at my other dentist's office four months ago). Dr. Shirley examined my teeth and talked to me about a filling that I have lost recently. He was friendly, explained everything that would be done when they replace the filling and spent a good amount of time with me, answering all my questions. Andrea explained the cost of the upcoming filling procedure so that there will not be any surprises when I return. Large office, plenty of parking. A bit weird getting in and out of the lot due to road work but that should be completed soon. All in all, a really great experience and I am one of those people who really HATES going to the dentist. Now I just need to call and cancel my cleaning appointment at my former dentist's office, because Bloomington Family Dental has won me over. I am an avid Yelp user and the negative reviews of BFD had kept me away. Regardless, don't let the negative reviews sway you. If you are looking for a Bloomington dental office that is modern, friendly and thorough, I highly recommend this office.
