Denison Dental Care - Dr. Katya is a miracle worker…read more I came in after being absolutely butchered by another dentist during a failed root canal, and I truly believe Dr. Katya saved my life. The infection was severe, but she handled it with the kind of precision, patience, and compassion you rarely see anymore. She and her assistant worked in perfect sync--gentle, steady, and so kind. Every so often, one of them would softly touch my shoulder just to check that I was okay. That simple human care meant everything when I was in pain and terrified. And it didn't stop there. I received follow-up calls from both the office staff and Dr. Katya herself over the next two days to make sure I was healing well. That kind of follow-through is unheard of. Denison Dental Care is extraordinary, and Dr. Katya is an angel in scrubs. I will recommend this office to every single friend, colleague, and anyone who needs a dentist who is truly exceptional.

Yay for having dental insurance! As soon as I was on my own health insurance for the first time and…read moredental benefits were awarded to me (just a few months ago!), I found what dentists were covered by my plan and came upon Dr. Bowen's practice. It is within walking distance from my house, so I decided I should give it a try. I was new to Columbus dentists and had only been to family dentists back home in nowheresville. So I found the number and gave the place a call. I was surprised when they said they'd take me as a new customer later that week. So, later that week, I walked over to the dentist's office for my appointment, which was pretty early in the morning, I think around 8:30 or so. The place wasn't exactly easy to spot. There weren't really any signs on the outside, it was just the address printed by the door. I can't really speak much about the parking, but it looked as if there were some spots right in front, but they may have been metered. Upon walking in, I was confused. Where was the dentist's office? I was standing at the end of a long hallway that looked as if it was in the middle of a remodeling process. I made my way down the hallway and turned the corner at the end to find a dentist's office. Kind of. The entire place looked as if it was being remodeled. Off to the left of the area at the end of the hallway was more hallway and more construction. To the right was a row of chairs (the waiting area) and past that, the front desk. I walked up to the desk and a very friendly receptionist greeted me and had me sign in and fill out some paperwork. She seemed swamped with the phone ringing off the hook and there were a lot of people in the office coming to her with questions, but she maintained her cheerful demeanor. While I was filling out my paperwork some elderly people came in and I got the impression that the receptionist was used to dealing with them and she had to tell them to sit down and wait about 10 times. When I handed her my finished paperwork she rolled her eyes at them and giggled to me like I knew the inside joke. I didn't, but I returned the smile anyway. I only had to wait about 10 minutes for my name to be called, and then I was off to a little side room with a very large X-ray machine in it. The nurse was pretty nice and a little chatty, but in a good way. She had me kind of wear this big lead vest thing while the machine took X-rays of my whole face, while I was biting down on those things - I don't know what they're called. She was nice about putting them in my mouth, though. And she wore gloves. Then I was escorted to a dentist's chair in the craziest office I've ever seen. Let me see if I can paint this picture for you: Open cubicles, each one with a dentist chair, each one a different dentist office I suppose, kind of out in the open so not really any privacy except you're facing the back wall and each "office" is sectioned off from each other so when you're in one you can't see what's going on next to you. Not like I was needing privacy, but if that's your thing, this is probably not your place. The doctor came in and didn't even introduce himself, so I can't tell you which one it was. He and the nurse proceeded to clean my teeth - with the scrapey thing I hate, and then the nurse had this vacuum she kept in my mouth the whole time to suck out my saliva (gross, I know) and it kept sticking to my tongue and that just was not fun. Then she'd use this thing that squirted water in my mouth and suck out the water with the vacuum. I've always been used to spitting out the water in a little sink. Not here. They go vacuum happy, and it's not that bad, it's just awkward and loud and a little frightening if you're not used to it. Then the dentist showed me the X-ray of my entire skull. Just whipped it out in front of my face and it was very unsettling to suddenly be staring at a photo of your own skull that was staring back at you. The nurse said, "Oh, I forgot to have you take your earrings off! Haha!" And sure enough, my skull X-ray was wearing huge hoop earrings, making it even more freakishly me. Not cool. But they proceeded to tell me that I had beautiful teeth and lightly scolded me for not flossing everyday and then they gave me a toothbrush and two little packages of floss. And that's it, I was done. It was by far my quickest trip to the dentist, ever. And with my insurance, I didn't even have a copay. The receptionist gave me a friendly goodbye as I walked back towards the hallway. So everyone here was really nice, I was just a little overwhelmed by the X-ray (sure I've gotten them before, but never quite like this) and the lack of privacy and the speediness of the whole process. It did feel a little rushed. And I should mention that it was kind of loud and crazy and cluttered in there. And the construction made it look...not so great. Hopefully when the construction is completed it will look and feel a lot more comfortable in there.

However, a trip to the dentist should not feel like an admissions exam for Shutter Island. To say this dental office is "no frills" would be an understatement. You arrive to check in and sit in the hallway on high school cafeteria chairs. When the tattooed receptionist finally gets around to greeting you (5-10 minutes later), she tells you to go back in the hallway and wait. Oh, and wait you do. You wait in the hall, you wait in the examination chair, you wait everywhere. All the while staring at dirty walls and stained carpets, not a magazine in sight. It's not so fun to sit and wait while listening to one of the hygienists screech about her freckle-lightening cream, which apparently has not yet worked on her legs. It's pretty alarming to be ushered into the "x-ray room", (not a real room but a corner with a partial wall) and have a lead vest thrust at me before I could remove my coat and purse. "Hold it" the hygienist said. Since it had no straps to speak of, I clutched it against my organs while I literally felt the x-rays zapping my skull (is that normal?). I then waited 40 minutes to be seen by the dentist. Since I had no magazine and was growing uncomfortable gazing at the filth of the place, I asked a hygienist passing by if someone could actually start cleaning my teeth. "The doctor will be right in", she snapped, without breaking pace. Granted, the doctor gave me a quick exam that got me out of the office within the hour. But wait...a 45 minute wait and a 10 minute "cleaning" and "exam"- is that good or bad? It was a quick scrape and polish. No floss, no rinse, no courtesy. Bad. So bad. Bad bad bad.

And for what it's worth, I've never left a scathing review for any business in my life...but I believe most folks inherently trust their doctors and are at risk of being taken advantage of by Dr Gum with recommended fillings and surgical procedures that are entirely unnecessary and perhaps poorly performed. Context: For nine years before Angela Gum, I had one filling at my dentist. I brush, floss, and use antiseptic mouth wash 2x daily, and I drink more than a gallon of water per day. In three years with Angela Gum, I had six fillings, a crown, and was told that I "grinded my teeth (not true) and had me fitted for a sleep guard. (read: she charged me all sorts of money for things I didn't actually need) Finally, at this year's appointment, when I was nearly certain I had no cavities, I was told that I needed to come back in for three fillings, and that she wanted to see me 3x per year rather than the standard 2. This just didn't sit right with me, so I went and got a second opinion. This new dentist did a thorough review and assured me that I needed "no active procedures" and had no cavities. To be judicious, I asked her to take the most aggressive preventive care posture possible, and asked if she'd recommend any fillings, and I was told "absolutely not." Not only that, but this second opinion dentist asked me "how long I'd had the crown" and I told her two years, as Dr. Gum put it in two years ago. TL;DR on this...she told me that the crown wasn't placed correctly, she'd have guessed it was years older, and that we'd need to keep an eye on it. Given my own personal experience combined with other reviews I see here on Yelp, I'm confident when I am concerned for every patient of any doctor who exploits trust for profits. If you're a patient of Dr Gum and she's recommending any fillings, procedures, or other solutions, I'd strongly recommend you get a second opinion!
