They explained things clearly, answered all my questions, and made sure I understood every step of the process.

The facility itself is spotless, modern, and well-organized, which only adds to the overall great experience.

I had an unexpected dental emergency when I broke my front tooth on a Friday afternoon and was…read morehonestly very anxious about what to do. I reached out to the office and Kathy Terrell, the Office Manager and Patient Coordinator, responded immediately. She arranged an appointment for first thing Monday morning and took the time during our text exchange to check on whether I was in pain and offered helpful suggestions to prevent further discomfort. What truly stood out was that on Monday morning--before the office even opened--Kathy texted again to confirm the last-minute appointment time worked for me. Her responsiveness, professionalism, and genuine concern were exceptional and incredibly reassuring during a stressful situation. When I arrived at the office, I was greeted warmly by the team. After I shared that I hadn't been to a dentist in years due to severe dental anxiety, Chettele Hoyle, the dental assistant, immediately focused on helping me feel calm and comfortable. She suggested bringing a headset so I could listen to music and shared several thoughtful techniques to help ease my nerves. Her compassion and attentiveness made a huge difference. From the moment Dr. Alexis Patel entered the room, her calm and reassuring demeanor immediately put me at ease. She carefully walked me through the procedure step-by-step so I knew exactly what to expect. Her bedside manner was outstanding--gentle, patient, and incredibly reassuring. This entire team turned what could have been a very stressful experience into one that felt supportive, professional, and genuinely caring. I am incredibly grateful to Kathy, Chettele, and Dr. Patel for the outstanding care they provided. If you are looking for a dental office that truly prioritizes patient comfort, responsiveness, and exceptional care, I cannot recommend them highly enough.

I had immediate dentures put in after having 20 teeth removed, they looked great, fit well, and the prices were so low compared to other places in the area. They do not use anesthesia but Dr. H made sure I was numb and felt no pain, only some pressure, and it was done in no time. Fast forward 1.5 years, I shouldn't have waited so long but I just had my permanents made and I couldn't be happier. The price again was very low and I can't imagine them being more comfortable. I feel that Melinda was my angel, from impressions to the final adjustments she nailed it. I can't be happier and so glad I went there from start to finish.

Hopefully he doesn't treat all his patients like this and maybe he was having a bad day. The dental hygienist was very nice and did a good job. The office personnel were very friendly and helpful.

And Frankie was unwilling to work with me as well, because, she said, "that's not how we do things here anymore." Apparently, much has changed in a year, sadly. There was a GLITCH with my insurance, not on my end, but on the insurance company end. This happened once before about a year ago here and it all worked out and went through fine at this same office. This time, I had the same problem. I reminded her that this happened before but Kylie/Keely refused to help me after I was passed to her by Frankie (who also told me she would not work with me to sort it out), insisting I pay out of pocket. Not only did I remind her that this happened previously and had the proof to show it all worked out (EOB's), I also had my insurance info available as well as had my insurance company call and verify my info directly with Kylie/Keely and send her proof of current good standing insurance coverage! Kylie/Keely insisted that this was not enough "proof" of insurance, and even with my credit card on file, insurance calling her directly, insurance company directly sending proof of coverage to Kylie/Keely and Frankie, and my willingness to pay out of pocket if need be and providing them with my credit card, she absolutely refused to believe I had coverage and would not work with me whatsoever. WHAT!?!? So Kylie/Keely took my credit card, immediately billed me and refused all info that came directly from my insurance company.... directly from the insurance company!!! I will never ever go here again, nor will my family. My suggestion? Get a new insurance person for the office because Kylie/Keely will most definitely cost you more customers. Firstly, her attitude is incredulous! I have never been treated so poorly. I am NOT a scumbag. I pay my bills and work hard to ensure I have proper insurance and take care of my debts...but Kylie/Keely and Frankie made me feel like I was nothing. I have never been made to feel so terrible in my life by anybody. Frankie should not be employed there either, given her lack of wanting to help patrons and refusing to do anything to work with me for absolutely no reason other than that is not how things are done in your office anymore! You just lost an entire family full of business....a family FULLY insured and who pays any and all copays in full and on time.

Procedures are done with an obviously well practiced hand and great concern for your comfort. The office, exam rooms, and rest room are spotless. The staff is very friendly and efficient. The rapport between the Doctor and staff speaks to a high respect for each other. I can't imagine ever going to another dentist. The next time you need dental attention please go to Sparrow Dental. you won't be sorry. Call and schedule a check up or cleaning!

One who genuinely CARES about our oral care. Well, we have stopped looking. I had the pleasure of having JoAnne as my Oral Hygienist. She is the tops. She explained everything to me, gave me a thorough cleaning- like I hadn't had in several years. I met Dr. Hudson who was kind, and caring about my concerns and explained a treatment plan to me which was more pleasing to me than the previous dentist's drastic plan.... dentures... what???? From the first call to Kingston Village Dentistry where I spoke to Lisa and coming to the office and dealing with Lisa and Kelly up front, JoAnne and Dr. Hudson in the treatment area, you can't go wrong in visiting Kingston Village for your dental needs either. I'm sure the rest of Dr. Hudson's staff is just as competent and caring. Give them a try. you'll be glad you did.

With all the trips to Murrells Inlet Dentistry I'm making...I'll probably be getting an address…read morechange from the post office real soon. If you have to decide on a Dentist please call for an appointment here. I can remember the first time I came here. It was east to find. I just had to look for a tall toothbrush and a big molar tooth for a mail box. It is located across the street from Chic-fil-A. In Murrells inlet. I turned right just before the bristles. There was handicap parking right in front of the building. A ramp to the left of the office. Very convenient. That toothbrush out front has outlasted many hurricanes...when my toothbrush starts to look like that one; I know it is time for a new brush. If they ever take it down I would never know where to turn right. Walking inside it seemed everything was so bright and clean. I was thrilled to find a dentist to be able to see me. There was soft calm music playing overhead. Sarah and lane at the front desk were so friendly. They helped me with finances as well. I had to retire early due to cancer twice. I was unable to see an eye doctor or dentist during my chemotherapy. I think I was too sick and weak to see one anyway. My financial situation changed a bit. I signed up for their insurance program. When I met the dentist she was so kind, gentle, and caring for my overall wellness. While she examined me she hummed lightly and it was very soothing. Today I had some filling work done on me. The last few visits had some teethed pulled that needed pulling. I was making quite the coins from the tooth fairy. I hand made a small tooth fairy pillow for Bev one day. The white felt tooth is the pocket that holds the tooth. Now I'm using it. I was not able to keep the actual tooth so I drew a picture of my tooth and put it in the pocket. See photo below. The next morning I had a quarter. I told Bev when she got her lower denture implants done... that she now needs to pay the tooth fairy back for all her teeth since she is getting new ones. Isn't that how it works? Anyway if you are looking for a fabulous Dentists come see Murrells Inlet Dentistry. They are wonderful. Tell them Willie sent you.

I had to wait 2 weeks for appointment (told them I had a tooth cracked) which I understand the wait…read morebut then when I arrived 15 mins late because I entered their business in google & it led me a wrong place,they all had an attitude when I walked in & told me they gave my appointment to someone else... they seemed to not even want to see me at that point & barely looked at me while I stood there wondering what to do & the woman said we will see what we can do like my appointment was in question... I could feel their annoyance which was a bit over the top... you can still politely tell someone I'm sorry but you were late.. but they treated me like I just did something bad on purpose ... The girl Sarah (at the end of my 5 minute appointment) went to set up another appointment with me & asked how I was as she looked away to type & I just politely said I was okay just a little upset that I took the whole day off & whoever booked me on the phone said they would block extra time for me knowing it was more of a serious issue that my tooth cracked .. Then she told me she was the one who booked it & got defensive. ( I was actually willing to let it go but I just wanted to express a little disappointment) she proceeded try & shame me for being late & I said I didn't do it on purpose you must know this is an issue with the address & she kept saying well I shouldn't have been late if I wanted to be treated today & that she only blocked off an hour (which I would have also appreciated her telling me that on the phone when I asked how long should I block off for the appointment & she said she wasn't sure how long it would take so I just took the whole day off work smh) then she said I should have called to let them know I was running late if I wanted to get helped today.. but I told her I was driving on the highway and didn't want to get in an accident......l had to pull over off the highway stressed trying to find their other address & the next one was right not the one that first came up on google.. I told her I didn't like how she was speaking to me & was trying to stay calm but she started overtalking me in a condescending tone & we were both getting louder... she was saying they have been there for 30 years & it's not their problem but google's problem ect... I said excuse me I need to finish my sentence because she wouldn't let me finish... she was being very rude & I told her she was being rude as she had a smirk on her face... So, I had to pay $128 out of pocket just for a 5 minute session today where they took like 2 xrays of just the one tooth & that's all we did & I lost money calling out of work today too.. wasted my time making me wait 2 weeks for nothing, I could have gone to a better dentist office that would have helped me sooner.. the girl who took my X-rays today was very nice & caring making sure she was gentle while taking X-rays but the office is not friendly... I have to say in the past I really loved Dr. Ballangee she's great but I am going to a new dentist office as of tmrw I already got an appointment when I told them my situation... wow people who actually care unlike how I was treated here... this is the second time I was treated so rudely by staff here.. last time a dental hygiene routine was terrible the girl was angry & kept hurting me with sharp instruments forcefully, & splashing water up my nose & all over my face carelessly looking away then noticed she was squirting up my nose & said oh sorry, apathetically... it made me not even want to come back but I gave it a second chance here today because my tooth cracked & then because the confusing address thing they hated me as soon as I walked in ... there is truly no need to be so rude, condescending, & accusatory to people... I spoke to my family about what happened & they called our dental hygienist friend who referred me to another office so I am not returning here..some staff are very rude but some are very nice too but I don't have time to play Russian roulette with my money and time not knowing how they will be.
