They have a convenient location with easy, free parking that makes going there hassle free. The reception staff are not only good at their jobs, but kind and funny to chat with. Paper work has been easy and straightforward, with little effort on my part. I love my hygienist Priscilla! She is gentle, but efficient, and minimizes the questions she asks while cleaning. No awkward figuring out how to talk! You should definitely ask for Priscilla, she's awesome. Dr. Schantz is great too. While, I've not had and extensive work done, I do get to see her at every visit. Each encounter with her is pleasant and leaves me with clear direction on how to keep up my teeth. You should try CNS! I'm completely satisfied and plan to stay with this practice for the foreseeable future.

Completely trust him. My gums are in much better condition. I will continue to go every 6 months.

Dr Ashley came in and and told me that my broken tooth, plus another that she claimed was too far gone, both needed to be extracted. EXTRACTED!? the dentist herself didn't even LOOK in my mouth!! She rambled on about implants and surgery and all the other work I would need to have done after.. she was clearly rushed and I couldn't understand much of what she said. Except that she wanted me to schedule the surgery IMMEDIATELY! Keep in mind this a very very expensive procedure... A second opinion proved that she was just lying through her teeth. Neither tooth needs to be extracted and can be repaired really quite easily and hardly costs much at all! I'm leaving this review in hopes to save any one else from the scams this office thinks they can get away with. Please, go elsewhere or at least get a second opinion.

Great staff that explained how the laser surgery worked, and helped me through every step. Prompt when I came for appointments, they worked with me and my insurance, and were completely professional in every way. Doctor Smith is a true expert in his field. Clean office, great with working with you, and the laser surgery worked without the discomfort or recovery period that standard surgery takes. Also, they told me what it would cost, and then didn't nickel and dime you, you pay the price, and then the follow up visits are covered. Wish I didn't need it, but wish I knew about this treatment before I wasted thousands of dollars on Arestin. Thanks!

Dr. Karl Smith was excellent. He was professional, knowledgeable, and made the appointment itself a…read morepositive experience. Unfortunately, the experience with the Waldorf office staff was the opposite. From the beginning, the staff repeatedly told me that my insurance would not cover the exam and tried to push me to pay out of pocket. When I attempted to pay, their card machine was not working. I agreed to pay over the phone later since I did not have my physical card with me and usually use Apple Pay. I was also told that the procedure I needed would not be covered by my insurance. When I left, I was given what I thought was my receipt. Shortly after, the receptionist called and informed me that she had accidentally given me another patient's receipt that contained all of their personally identifiable information. We agreed she would come by my home to pick it up and provide me with the correct receipt since she lived close by. I was told the fee would be waived because of the inconvenience. However, that same fee was later processed and paid by my insurance company -- the same fee the office said would not be covered. Afterward, I called my insurance company about the other procedure and learned that it is actually covered at 50%. When I called the dental office back to ask them to submit it for pre-approval, the receptionist was adamant that she was not submitting anything to the insurance and insisted that I get confirmation in writing from my insurance first, as if submitting a claim would cost the office something. Dr. Smith himself was great, but the front office experience was frustrating, inaccurate regarding insurance coverage, and concerning given the mishandling of another patient's personal information.
