I wish I could tell you the quality of their dentist, but the train wreck of their internal…read moreoperations staff and their inappropriate procedures kept me from even seeing their dentist. Three months before my first appointment I asked them to check my insurance coverage because it's out of state. They refused and said that they would do that a month before the appointment ... if I reminded them. I did remind them at the one-month mark, and they could not navigate my insurance company's authorization process. My previous dentist had been doing it fine for four years so it's squarely a problem at Embark Dental. Three days before the appointment they asked me to send pictures of my insurance card, which I did. But it wasn't until the morning of the appointment that they texted me to say that they (mistakenly) thought my insurance only covered medical. That's an odd assumption considering that my insurance company had been paying my dental bills for the previous four years. When I arrived at their office, they still had not managed the simple navigation of a Blue Shield insurance agency. They wanted me to give them a credit card. They were basically saying that since they were so incompetent that they could not determine that I was actually covered for dental, they wanted to be able to tag my credit card to cover their inabilities. Then they wanted to digitize my driver's license. I am a former designated security officer for the Air Force, I have spent my whole life in high tech, and I know that digitized IDs are the new form of ID theft. When I declined to let them digitize my driver's license, they said that would be a requirement. I left. Save yourself the problem of leaving their office by not going there to begin with. You'll also save yourself a ton of unnecessary aggravation.

So, I called before the appointment to ask what the cost would be if my husband needed a filling. I was told $50. The cleaning, exam and filling were covered under United Healthcare dental policy, but the filling was not. We asked the doctor before the filling was done, just put in a temporary one. After our payment of $56 on the day of the filling procedure, I thought we were paid up. Then, I got a bill for $106. When I called the practice and reminded them that we were told $50, she said It was just an estimate. From an estimate of $50 to $162 does not sound like an estimate to me. I paid it and cancelled all of our future appointments. This is a warning to anyone going to this dentist.

She was thorough and very gentle and the process was over easily. I would highly recommend this practice - everyone I came into contact with was professional and very caring. Nobody enjoys going to the dentist I guess, but this was a very positive experience.

I particularly appreciate when he explains the why behind a procedure he recommends, and during the procedure he lets me know the steps ... which is very helpful when i feel anxious. The front desk has always been helpful with booking, and rescheduling, they are very friendly. I plan to continue working with this practice.

I received an excellent cleaning of my teeth at Asheville Holistic Dentist but I would not return…read more I get a lot of tartar on my teeth and the cleaning occurred after I had experienced a very stressful period. However, it was very expensive and to me as a patient, it seemed like the same scraping of my teeth with a metal instrument that I experienced at other dentists. In fact, I asked the hygienist why it was so expensive and as I recall she explained that they use special oxygenated air and water. These were the figures for my billing so others can decide if it is worth it to have the exact same experience as other dentists but with the holistic additions. My billing was as follows: Day one, comprehensive oral exam $163 plus panoramic x-rays $201 for total of $364. Two days later: Full mouth debridement eval $303 and periodontal scaling and root planning of 4 quarters for $1864 (minus $25 Care Credit) done over two visits. Total of evaluations $466 + x-rays $201 + $1839 perio deep cleaning = $2506. I chose not to continue.

I was "fired" as a patient for having dental anxiety due to a previous trauma. Dr. Quilhot during my first two appointments made his frustration & irritation with me clear. I came back to support local versus going to Asheville or Sevierville for dental care, but today was told by Dr. Quilhot not to come back. I don't know why they have a service dog if they're not capable of treating patients with anxiety. I thought I found a dentist that was caring. I was wrong. Dr. Quilhot is judgmental & is callous when it comes to dental patients with anxiety. I came in for an appointment which in itself causes me anxiety. Today I left with a few issues & a few appointments on the books to take care of them little by little, so yes I was a little worried knowing I'm looking at about 4 appointments in the near future + an impression. The front desk here then told me my insurance would cover $0 of a crown. So then there's $930 I owe on top of numerous appointments that make me anxious. I was emailing back & forth with them about my insurance because I saw it did cover some when I logged in as a member. Dr. Quilhot called my emails "tense" & fired me as a patient. At the end of our exchange, Dr. Quilhot went so far as to blame me for taking up his time during his lunch. No one made him respond to my emails. I hadn't even expected a response immediately. I didn't demand an immediate response. In no way did I force him to email me back, but yet he's annoyed I took up his time. The patient should not be shamed for the provider's inability to deal with anxious patients in a reasonable manner, which is what Dr. Quilhot did today. Shame on this clinic for shaming their patients.

I rarely give 5 stars on any review if you look at my history…read more I was a little apprehensive at first since there were no reviews about it. It is in my insurance network though and I had an appointment the day after I called. Which was great for my schedule and timing for me. While they may not have the fancy cubicles, equipment and adornments in the dental area here. It has a nice feel and contemporary casual aspect, no pretense and comfortable. I like how it has a quality feel with no pretense. They are respectful of peoples needs, but do not linger on them, they are nice people and provide professional and efficient service. You may not see a computer, but they get the job done. I know what my insurance covers before I go into any medical appointment and they knew what my coverage was also. win win in my book! I have been to other places with all the razz mataz tech set up, but still could not get my name right in the system. They greet you by name and remember the little things here, which makes the visit comfortable and less stressful. I have a real and lingering phobia/stress about dental work and dread even a simple cleaning. The staff is friendly and Dr. Isaac Quilhot is very professional and straight forward on what he will and can do. (The best looking Dentist I have ever been to also!) On my first visit I was there to see if I could save a crown, that was bothering me. Dr. Isaac was straight forward on what we could do and the cost estimate to save it verse other options. I liked the pull it and do an implant later option he purposed. I was not really mentally ready to have it pulled that day, but he was confident he could do it efficiently and with minimal stress on me. I liked his approach and agreed to do it, which was a pretty amazing thing for me to do. He pulled the tooth for me and made it bearable and minimized my stress issues with it all. I do not regret going with his proposal and plan. If he sees an issue, he will address it there and then, without another appointment. Which is nice, but depends on that days schedule. The 2nd visit was my cleaning, which went well and was efficient and well done. The 3rd was my replacement filling, which went well and was done efficiently and as best it could with my issues. The shots he gave me were done with care and considerations. I had no lingering affects later and no jaw pain the next day or the day of. I wish the arms on the chairs were longer so I could have gripped them (white knuckled them) , I am a tall person though. I made it through with my issues though and Dr. Isaac ( that's what they call him) was done in 30 min as he said it would take. It was not a rush job, just efficient and focused effort. Which I appreciate and returned for. The equipment may not be all fancy and you may not see a lot of frills in the cubicles (great TV though!) but it is comfortable and very efficient and everything is done with professional confidence and care. The prices are very good and affordable, I like the place as much as a person can with Dentist work issues. I recommend it to anyone, that is needing efficient, focused, caring and straight forward care and dental work. My family is now seeing Dr. Isaac also. If your the type that needs to talk to the postal counter person or checker at the grocery store for an extra 5 - 10 min, while there is a line behind you. Please don't go in. I don't like waiting in a dentist office anymore than having the work actually done. If you value straightforward, efficient quality care that is done with confidence and professionalism, this is the place for you! I had work done here 3 x in a month and very happy about my experience and the work that was done. I will actually go in for my 2nd cleaning this year sometime, which I have never done before. Thank you Dr. Isaac and Staff!
