I am probably the one and only person that likes to go to the dentist. I love having my teeth…read morecleaned, and having procedures doesn't bother me. I have probably some of the worst genetics and results of medications teeth could have. I had one pulled last year, and a cleaning. I found the office to be wonderfully clean the staff super friendly and nice, and for the first time ever I did not have dry socket! Recently, the office called me, they needed to reschedule my cleaning appointment. The woman on the phone apologized profusely, and I said that truly in this climate it was not a problem, I am happy to wait so that someone more urgent can get in. Apparently the woman had been getting horrible comments when she had to call other patients, all kinds of cussing and yelling at her. I told her I was very sorry to hear that, and she will never find that in our home, we understand these things, and anything we can do to help the effort we will do. I thanked her and the Doctor for being IN the office doing the work. She said I made her day, just because I was nice to her. People, if you glean nothing else from my review, please take this away: we all need to be kind to each other, we need to respect each other, and we need to have patience for our professionals who are risking their own health and safety for us. Please be kind.

I'm extremely disappointed with how my appointment was handled…read more I scheduled my appointment on August 24 for September 3 at 3:00 PM. Between then and my appointment, I received multiple confirmations. A text and phone call on August 24, a text and phone call on September 1, and another text confirmation the day before my appointment. With all of those confirmations, I had every reason to believe my appointment was set and that the office had everything correct. Then, on the day of my appointment, I received a call telling me that they could not see me at my scheduled 3:00 PM time because someone had booked me incorrectly and asking if I could come in earlier. I work, and I specifically took time off to be available for this appointment. What makes this even more frustrating is that I didn't even receive 8 hours' notice that THEY needed to change my appointment. What really bothers me is the double standard. Patients are expected to provide at least 24 hours' notice if we need to cancel or reschedule, and otherwise we can be charged a $50 cancellation fee. Yet the office can change or effectively cancel a patient's appointment with less than 8 hours' notice because of an error on their end, after repeatedly confirming the appointment, and there is no consideration for the patient's time or inconvenience. I understand that mistakes happen, but this was not a last-minute scheduling issue that nobody could have known about. The appointment had been confirmed multiple times by both text and phone. There were several opportunities to catch the scheduling error before the day of the appointment. And being the day before a holiday weekend, it honestly left me wondering whether the office simply didn't want to keep a 3:00 PM appointment that day. Whether that was the case or not, that is the impression this situation gave me. My time is just as valuable as theirs. If patients are expected to respect the office's cancellation policy, I believe the office should show the same respect for patients' schedules. Very disappointing experience, especially before I even had the opportunity to become a patient.

I was actually taken in early for my appointment, and the hygienist got to work immediately numbing me and getting set up for the cleaning. I won't go into the gory details, but when Dr. Benning got to work on the fillings and crown, he and his assistant worked like a well-oiled machine. There was no wasted time, and not once did I see anything that looked even remotely like miscommunication between the two. This morning, after all that work, I have no pain whatsoever. Amazing.

Once again, a super nice and friendly staff with great communication skills. They actually had a dental assistant who was very friendly and introduced me to each person as care was being given. That was actually a very nice touch and I felt very appreciated. They also had someone from billing sit down and explain to me what my insurance covered and talk about payment plans. If you're unsure about where to get dental care or haven't been in awhile, I imagine this would be a pretty good place to start.

The first time I did my review I did it at the wrong location The location I actually needed to do…read moreit on was the Gastonia location. In my opinion, if you are looking for quality Care, this is not the place for you. I have had my dentures for nearly a year and they still do not fit in the making of my dentures The top set was given a soft lining and the bottom set is uncomfortable and it doesn't fit. I have been going to them trying to get this straightened out for the longest. My appointments have been canceled and rescheduled over and over as though I don't have other appointments that I need to keep. Dr. Murphy is a good doctor but apparently he is spread too thin because he's either at another one of his locations or he's just not at the Gastonia one. I also think his office manager at his Gastonia location is not too informed with what is going on as far as the doctor and his scheduling. As for me, I am very dissatisfied with this business and I feel that they don't really care because I have voiced my concerns to them personally. And if that's the way they feel losing one patient may not affect them. But when one turns to two two turns to three and three turns to four and eventually their business is losing business. They will start caring then and then it may be too late.
