This last cleaning however, I was seen by Dr. Griffith and he was cocky, flippant, dismissive, and more interested in up-selling and fear-mongering than actually having a conversation about realistic options.

When I went back for the permanent crown I told the dentist it still hurt, and she told me I just wasn't used to the sensation. I have 4 crowns, none of which hurt this bad. This was the worst experience I have ever had in a Dentist office. I asked to have Dr. Toms review this experience, and even wrote him a letter. He never responded or acknowledged my concerns. I even received a letter from the practice telling me what a great experience I had and would I recommend them to friends and family. Not only was this a bad experience, after I paid my bill in full and got a receipt they just sent me another bill for $91.00 with no explanation what it was for. I had previously put up a good review for this practice because the hygienists and office staff were really exceptional. But this whole experience has been terrible.

I honestly had no interest in my daughters going to a pediatric dentist, but unfortunately, my…read morefamily dentist that we've been seeing for 15 years doesn't accept the insurance that I had to switch them to. Finding a conveniently-located practice that would accept their insurance proved difficult, and despite my concerns about my daughters no longer viewing the dentist as a visit 100% about dental care, but rather about flashy gimmicks, games, and toys, we went with Kwon. While the office is cheerful and definitely meant to put young patients at ease, I still remain hesitant to want my girls to forget what the primary focus of a cleaning/appointment there is. Personal thoughts aside, alright, the staff here is terrific! They probably send a few too many text, call and email reminders about appointments, but that's a petty complaint. Every single member of their team comes across like Disney World-employee trained, but which I mean, they are smiley, upbeat, and "on." My youngest had to have a filling, and they got her through it with minimal worries or discomfort. I get that some kids (and adults) need distractions to get through a dentist or doctor visit, but I'm just not a fan of the not-so-subtle "Yay! This is a fun experience!" vibe that some pediatric dentist offices give off. The professionalism and warmth of the staff is what makes this place a stand-out, in my opinion.

When I got there, the woman who brought me in tried to act as if it was my fault that the filling had come out, despite the fact that it hadn't even been in my mouth for three months. They told me it would be 287 dollars for a new filling, then came back minutes later saying it would actually cost 330 dollars. During the filling, the dentist was drilling so hard into the nerve I was screaming for him to stop and he still did not. Tonight, Thursday November 10th, two days after I got the new filling, it came out again. I was not eating or drinking anything, it just fell off of my tooth. There is no reason a that place this incompetent and terrible at their job should still be open.

We moved to the Gainsville area about a year ago and were desperate for a new family Dentist. When you compare the marriage thing with finding a dentist, I figure you can always leave the husband at home but your smile will always be the first thing people notice about you. And for the record, I do love my husband dearly and knew quickly what a great gem he was (no research needed)........so here we go....new place......no dentist.......How do you find a good one........Since my occupation is in the medical field, I knew that I wanted a dentist that invests in his own business and has the newest advances and technology. I literally read every review and profile of every dentist around and none can come close to Dr. Gritsiv. There is a special machine that only a few dentists have in this area --- it is called a Cerec machine and in dentistry, it is a game-changer. The Cerec machine is extremely expensive and requires extensive training and in the Gainsville area, only two or three dentists have this machine. If you compare dentists to vehicles, a regular dentist would compare to riding a bicycle while a Cerec Dentist is driving a Tesla. Both will get you to the final destination but the process with a Cerec Doctor is much faster and when you arrive at your final destination you look much better after riding a Tesla for 50 miles than driving your bicycle. The Cerec machine can make a crown or overlay in minutes and looks and fits better. No more nasty impressions, temporary fillings, and unsightly marks, once finished it is completely indistinguishable from your real teeth. What makes Oakwood Smiles such a great Dental office, is a combination of an extremely talented dentist, completely painless procedure, top-of-the-line technology, wonderful staff with a truly caring attitude, and a beautiful office. Most importantly, I trust Dr. Gritsiv explicitly and he only recommends a treatment plan that is truly in line with the condition of your teeth. (Trust me there are plenty of shady dentists that will do unnecessary work to make a buck) Sure you might find another dentist that might be a little cheaper but you will not find a better dentist.

The first major issue however was that they don't currently have a receptionist reachable by phone- so all communication was on texts with long pauses up to days at a time, between different receptionists where information would be lost in translation. In desperation we pressed on for an appt which we finally received in a confusing last minute manor only to be met with a clipboard form to fill out for payment (no warm greeting first) that included an expensive service we weren't told is required but which DIDN'T include one of the main services we had been discussing for weeks (on text) that we would like to have done. (And the total was WAY more than what we had been told on text) Finally, and this sealed the deal, the dentist was informed of our request to not have the 'required xrays' and proceeded to LOUDLY instruct the receptionist to inform us that this was not her preference but she would ok it, it was handled in such an utterly unprofessional manner and awkward for all involved (Notable on receptionists face too) We went to the parking lot, called a more reputable holistic practice in ATL, got an appt and left before being seen by Dr Lorie Steven's. She may have much knowledge and great years of experience but we feel we dodged a bullet. Go elsewhere, even if you have to drive further.

I don't feel like any problems could possibly be caught until they were major issues because she doesn't even sit down and poke around like all the other dentists I have ever seen. She glances at the X-rays and asks if I have had any issues and might glance briefly in my mouth while standing over me and then rushes out to her next patient. I have no qualms with the staff but am just not comfortable with the lack of thoroughness on the part of the dentist.
