Not only is she completely thorough during my exams (she checks things in my mouth, tongue & jaw that nobody else has ever checked) but she is also a great person! She is friendly & fun! Getting a cleaning can be boring but it isn't with Nancy. She's wonderful & does a fantastic job. She takes pride in her work. When I walk out I know that my teeth & gums are clean & healthy. In 2019, I had to have a crown done. Dr. Long worked w an outside provider, Eddie w Dental Tech to get my crown to match my teeth perfectly. (I'll be writing a glowing review for him also) I'm so impressed by how much he cared that my teeth matched. I care a LOT about my teeth & the last thing I wanted was to have to get a crown much less one that didn't match. My crown matched perfectly. It has been well over a year since I had it done & I haven't had one issue. I waited to write this to make sure I was 100% happy & I definitely am... The staff is also phenomenal here. I met Jasmine on day 1. She is the best! So friendly & sweet! I just love nice people & EVERY person behind the front desk is fantastic! Right before I leave I usually check out w Lata. She is wonderful too! I wish I could remember the entire staffs names. They all deserve recognition. After my last dentist (he was actually a periodontist) I never thought I'd find another dental office that I loved but I have! Right HERE! For someone that loves their teeth as much as I do, Advanced Dental Associates has been a blessing! If you need something as routine as a cleaning or serious dental work done, I completely recommend giving this dental office your business. I am sure that you won't regret it. 12/4/21 Wow! It has been over a year since I wrote this draft & completely forgot to publish it BUT here is the GREAT news! The staff is still amazing. The dentists are still phenomenal & I will never let anyone clean my teeth again except for Nancy bc she is truly the most gifted and thorough dental hygienist on the planet . I swear she has only gotten BETTER! (Who knew that was possible?!) Idk ANYONE who loves their teeth or whom is as obsessed w their teeth as I am. So, when I say this... I mean it. If you need a dentist, look no farther. Their customer service is unparalleled! During my last visit I met Dr. Castillo & she was fantastic! She has such a friendly & kind demeanor! From the minute she walked in to examine me she made me feel at ease. I also met Amelia, a manager at the office. She was great! She was professional & yet still recommended a great restaurant for lunch w a friend of mine! When I checked out, Frankie helped me schedule my next appointment. She didn't just make an appt for me & push me out the door. She was friendly & made conversation w me while we found the perfect time for me to come back in. If you have read this entire novel then you too care about your teeth & my best advice is "CALL Advanced Dental Associates & make an appointment." Go ahead & tell them that Melissa Vadillo referred you! They'll know you really care about your teeth bc you'd have to, to have read THIS long reviews!

This review is not directed to the dentists at Advanced Dental Associates. I have been seeing Dr…read more Edwards for over 20 years. I started seeing him when he was located in that strip mall off O'Connor and Nacogdoches. He is probably the best dentist in San Antonio bar none. And I have been seeing Dr. Long since he started working there. This review is directed at (you guessed it) the office staff that handles the dental claims and communicates with it's patients...the ones responsible filing claims in a timely manner and communicating this process clearly to the patient. Definitely was not done in this case. In December of 2025 I had 2 tori removed. I was pretty sure insurance was not going to cover this. They (Riley) gave me a treatment plan that reflected my cost was around $1400 dollars. After the procedure when I went to pay I was told I owe $1701. I thought well they have overcharged me in the past but I always got a refund in a timely manner (after the insurance claim was filed). Also in all the many years i have been using them they have always filed to my dental insurance in a timely manner. And insurance immediately sends me a statement saying yes it's covered or no it's not and this is what you owe. Well that never happened in this case. The only thing that was filed initially was the sedation medication used. And it listed no surgical procedure. So insurance denied it saying basically what was the procedure? And I couldn't get an answer on why the office did that. They did file another procedure which was not the tori removal and my insurance paid it ($219) but it had nothing to do with the tori removal. And it was not performed on me. Bottom line: they never filed the tori removal to my dental insurance. Yes, most likely it would have been denied. But, now I could have appealed it. I would have to have shown it was medically necessary. Confusing the matter was that I called in late January 2026 asking about the filing of the claim and was told that I might be due a refund. I'm thinking why would I be due a refund? Now I'm totally confused. So I finally decided to just talk to one person (Riley) so I dont get conflicting info every time I call. She said she is working (communicating with corporate office) on my claim. That totally confused me again. Told her I just want my tori removal to be filed to insurance. She gave me a cryptic answer that she either does not get involved or has no control over the dental insurance part. But after several phone calls she said she would call when she knows something. Nope. That didn't happen. Fast forward about 4 months. I got a text from the office saying I owed another $337. When I called Riley I said I thought you were going to call me when this was resolved. She answered something to the effect she had a lot of people to call.

I was initially referred to Dr. Verrett by my dentist, Andrea Janik. When I asked Dr. Janik's…read moreoffice why Dr. Verrett's office was selected--given that it is over 20 minutes away--they shared that it was because they could guarantee there would be no paperwork issues and that I would be very well taken care of. They were absolutely right. I first called Dr. Verrett's office with a few questions regarding my upcoming wisdom tooth surgery, specifically to confirm whether anesthesia would be available. I will say that the initial information I received was not entirely accurate, particularly the statement that my medical coverage "wouldn't even be looked at," which I knew was incorrect. I'm very glad I trusted my instincts and requested a callback. That decision led me to Heather, who v(to me) she went above and beyond - and i look back at her interactions with me now and i think its just her natural way of being. She was somehow able to fit me in for an in‑office consultation within an hour of returning my call. Choosing to come in person ended up being a complete lifesaver. The in‑office experience immediately put me at ease and relieved so much anxiety. Every question I had was answered thoroughly, and I left the office fully understanding what I would be responsible for financially the following day. I was also relieved to learn that my medical insurance was able to cover a significant portion of the anesthesia. Big shoutout to Cindy as well for helping me understand expectations of next day. I was already extremely nervous that week, but the entire team was incredibly patient, kind, and understanding through every step of the process. I am now seven days post‑surgery after having three wisdom teeth removed, and my recovery has been going very well. I truly can't thank this office enough for the care, support, and reassurance they provided. The in‑house experience made all the difference, and I'm extremely grateful for the level of service and compassion I received.
