Okay, it is time to put this dentist's office on the map of greater Wichita Falls. I have heard good things about Dr. Curran, and my Aunt's sister works here, so I thought I'd give them a shot-especially since I needed a second opinion (And a new dentist's office)
So here is what I found out in regard to this location. The lobby is small, but quiet. They have an alcove near the restroom that has children's toys for your kid. The receptionist was very friendly and helpful. Again I'd like to point out how quiet it was, I am a person who enjoys simpler things as well as serenity. There are various personal reasons as to why I cannot stand loud noises, and I'm happy to report that this place is free of that.
Now I wish I could review the dental assistant, but that would come with some bias because she's my aunt's sister and I've associated many times. I will say, however, that she is definitely friendly and a people person. From what I saw of other dental assistants there, they're all very nice and appear very willing to help out if at all possible. I will say it was fun to hear my aunt's sister joke with Dr. Curran that he needs to be nice or she'd have to hear from her big sister, my aunt.
Now Dr. Curran is an older gentleman and very experienced. He has a plaque on the wall that names him "dentist of the year" in 2007-I'd like to point out. He seems to specialize in implants, so I did ask about that in regards to the tooth that another dentist said would have to be extracted. He looked closely at it and determined that it was possible to save it by replacing the filling, so we are going to try that.
I am well pleased to report that making an appointment means you can make an appointment for the next week rather than three weeks to a month down the line. The dentist here gave me a list of various alternatives and went so far as to educate me on how my tooth looked and why certain possibilities would work better than others.
Unlike the last dentist I had been to around here (overall I needed a dentist here rather than my primary back home, Trinity Dental, which is two hours away), I left this office feeling like I was there on my time and not a burden to either the dentist or the receptionist. These people care about you and they care about your teeth. I highly recommend them.
I think they understand that if you are nervous about dentists in general, you want to feel like the dentist office cares about you-and that's exactly what this place did for me. read more
