I've been to a lot of dentists. I have a lot of teeth, ya know. Many dentists are decent enough at their job. Some are pretty bad and give the others a bad name. The dentists and honestly everyone else who works here is courteous, professional, and excellent at communication every step of the way. I had two procedures done here, and let me tell you, it was a pleasure. Dental work is typically merely tolerable, but I felt comfortable and relaxed the whole time thanks to the skilled work and personable touch of everyone on staff here. If you're looking for a dentist, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Drake Dental as the place to go. Get your appointment today! read more

Great experience overall and would recommend this place to friends and family! I have been for the past 2 years and the experience the team has is like none other. The hygienists are amazing and the doctors are extremely knowledgeable about everything in the field. read more

Unethical billing and operating practices- they will do any unnecessary service that they think your insurance will pay, do it poorly, and if they were wrong and the claim is denied they will swap that $0 estimate you signed for a hefty bill. Their word means nothing, avoid at all costs they're only out for money. read more

have gone yo this last few years. Am fine with work done. However they are not current with their info on insurance which cost me half the bill last year and 90% this year thus I'm getting a new dentist. Doublechecked with them as to who they were participating with this year and was told incorrectly about amount secondary insurance would pay, they were very wrong, again. I tried to get correct info from my gov't insurance but it was not clear, name was on listing of participants but that was also wrong. So frustrating as is said "the right hand doesn't know what left hand is doing and vice versa read more

Pros: staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. They also do wonderful work and appointments are punctual. The buildings for both practices are beautiful and state-of-the-art. Cons: every single bill we've had for the past 6 years needed to be checked, called, and corrected -to the point it seemed suspicious. We were mislead quite a few times on extra charges that were not necessary regarding the most expensive x-rays, doctor visits, etc. Every appointment felt like we were getting swindled and pressured with regard to paying for extra services -the practice is gorgeous, but they nickel and dime for everything. Ask questions always and check your bills. We liked both practices for the most part, but got sick of having to check/correct bills and we also didn't care for feeling pressured and misled. read more

Excellent dentist....However, the clerical staff is not on their game. I was charged full price for my cap and I have excellent health insurance--they just did not bother to call and verify...will not return. read more

Horrible experience-beware! This office bled my double coverage dental insurance dry with unnecessary devices (occlusal guards) and procedures (additional crown on top of permanent seal) just to see how much $ they could get. Then, when that was done, they handed me a false estimate for $0 for sealants for my three kids. I only agreed due to the $0 estimate. Turns out, it wasn't allowed by my insurance and they turned around and handed me a bill for hundreds of dollars. When I stated this was unethical and dishonest of them to do, they turned me over to their lawyer. Oh! and my crown popped off when I was flossing. Terrible work, terrible place, will never ever, ever return. read more

Being a newcomer to Kalamazoo, I visited a few dentists looking for top service. The phone conversations for questions and appointment were on the edge of rudeness if even picked up. The dentists were inaccessible. When I chipped a front tooth, the same day crown was a hassle of delays. I thought the work was sloppy and four years later it fell out. The receptionist would not say if this crown was on warranty. Will not return. read more

Don't ever have to change an appointment with this place. They charge you unnecessary late fees and then send you to collections over their late fee. Additionally, they can never make an appointment with you for a 6 month cleaning, they generally book 8 months out because their books are so full. So it's strange that they feel the need to nickel and dime you when your schedule changes--they have plenty of people they should be moving up to a 6 month cleaning. read more

Drake Dental - Pediatric Dentists Near Me - Kalamazoo, Michigan

Showed up for my six month cleaning and they had cancelled my appointment without contacting me. Ridiculous scheduling policies require that you confirm your already set appointment multiple times or they will cancel without notifying you. read more

I went in and set up a treatment plan started the first step and after the entire office refused to continue treatment trying to send me other places because they stated they refuse to continue​ it even after stating that I didn't want to go anywhere else I was most comfortable there and said location I was still refused service but then they wanted to call me back 6 months later saying we can't complete your treatment but we can do your cleaning do not go here they're discriminatory and it's highly unrecommended read more

They are wonderful! The dentists, hygienists, and office staff are welcoming, friendly, and know their stuff!! Beautiful office!!

As a new patient I couldn't get an appointment until after I filled in all my financial paperwork with them. Then they would tell me when I could get an appointment. I understand sharing my insurance info, but who needs the rest before the appointment? I am sure there are other dentists in town that run their offices better. read more

looking for a new dentist so called to get a teeth cleaning apt. The receptionist insisted on getting my SS# and wouldn't take my insure contract number. My Delta Dental is thru my Advantage insurance plan not a separate Delta plan. I even called Delta who confirmed receptionist is wrong. There is too much fraud going on with SS# and there is no reason the dentist needs is for Advantage plan coverage, Disappointing they're not better trained. No apt made. read more

I had the great dental hygienist when I went in the first time, she was very professional and kind. She did a great job explaining things to me as well as cleaning too. Hmm, the second time I went back... the dental hygienist wasn't professional at all. I could hear her whispering the conditions about my teeth and she actually scoffed, I don't know if she is unaware or she purposefully did it. She didn't even do cleaning well. I was in an out in less than 15 mins! I have to blame Myself for moving the date for the second appt since i was away. Had I not moved the second appt, I'd have been with the same professional dental hygienist from the first time. The dentist was very nice as well as the front desk too. The inside is well maintained with stocked hot and cold beverages such as water. Note to self: request for the professional dental hygienist from the first time for my next appt! read more

Very comfortable environment and friendly staff. I went in for a routine cleaning and was offered a wide selection of fluoride flavors to choose from (I went with orange creamsicle). Great place if you need to get your grill fixed! read more

Excellent care here! I was really nervous, and I'm definitely not a fan of visiting the dentist. Hygienist Pat was very clear about each step of the process, and really put me at ease. I don't have dental insurance, so I also appreciated that they outlined costs beforehand. read more

If you wanna see how a thief could be a dentist in the same time just visit this place. Don't be tempted by their fancy place or equipments. BE AWARE! They have destroyed my roots canals because of their cheap work. They've told me that 3 of my teeth need crowns. 4 months later, 2 of them need to do roots canals!! Don't think they'll try to fix their problem, no! They won't blame themselves at all! They'll refer you to a root canal specialist and of course you will pay for their faults! Then they'll ask you to come back not for replace your crown with a new one, of course NO! They will be settled with filling the root canal's hole and you'll PAY for it again :). By the way, I discovered later that 2 of my friends had the EXACT same issues!! So, I knew that my teeth didn't need crowns at all. It's just their way to get your money when your teeth need just a filling! In short, if you like yourself, your family and your friends just STAY AWAY from these low down dentists. KEEP THE AWARENESS ALIVE! read more

We just found our family dental office! We drive over 40 miles to get our dental work done here! Friendly staff, great honest dentist. Dr. Drake thoroughly explained the procedures and is fairly priced. read more

Beautiful office, very welcoming. Best part is that I was seen for my 2:00 appointment by 2:10. The dental assistant was sweet and gave me a tour of their facility, and all staff were very pleasant to interact with and informative. read more

I love Drake Dental! I had not been to a dentist in 6 years and was very nervous about going back. I chose Drake Dental because of all the amazing reviews they had. My first appointment they asked me if I had anxiety about going to the dentist, which I do. So the whole appointment was amazing and they took into account my previous bad dental experiences. They show you around and let me know everything they were going to do. I've had two cleanings and both were amazing and easy. Ashley the hygienist is very nice and lets you know what's she is doing and any trouble spots in your mouth. I have met both doctors and they were both very nice. I am very happy that I found Drake dental and have recommended it to everyone. If you have anxiety about going to the dentist this place will ease it. read more

Great service and really friendly staff. I needed a crown and they had a cancelation while I was in the office so they got me right in.

So I never had an appointment with Drake Dental. And I never will. Essentially, because I work retail, I had to call the office to try and reschedule at the last minute. Now, I understand that there is usually a 24-hr preference for cancellation, however, this is retail, so I was asked to work after Drake Dental had already closed and I couldn't call them until the next morning (a half hour after they opened, and 2 1/2 before my appointment). While the woman on the phone was cordial enough, when I apologized and explained what had happened, asking if I could reschedule, she immediately asks, 'When do you work?' A bit intrusive for a dentists office, but I didn't mind. Then, she says that to cancel OR to reschedule, their office needs 2 business days notice. Otherwise, she needs me to pay a $50 cancellation/rescheduling fee. That is possibly the most shady thing I've ever heard. So people never need to reschedule at the last minute and you're just going to try and hold them up for 50 bucks and have them give you their card information over the phone? I am lucky I was a first time patient and hadn't ever given them my card information or I have no doubt they would have charged me no matter what I said. Furthermore, as I am busy at work, they call me, over and over, several times. I realize canceling at the last minute is shitty, and I wouldn't have done it if I didn't have to. But the way they deal with it is shady as hell. Beware of this place. read more

Office is very nice. Staff is very pleasant. Equipment high tech and very modern. Dentist does very good work. Very good experience

I recently moved to Chicago and am in the process of finding a new dentist. Let me tell you, this process has made me miss Dr. Khaghany-Duffy and her staff very much! I seriously considered taking a day off of work and going back to Kalamazoo just so I could go to her. She and her staff are always friendly and do excellent work, plus the office is posh. You can watch TV while they clean your teeth! Definitely not something my old dentist had. I highly recommend this practice. read more

I have been desperately looking for dentists/doctors/all that good stuff since I relocated to Kalamazoo. I was so glad I stumbled upon Drake Dental. Usually going to the dentist makes my heart rate rise to unhealthy levels but when I got my filling done, they made me so comfortable and made sure that I was completely numb before drilling (bad experience in the past due to my body hating anesthetics). I was in and out of there in 45 minutes. It was awesome. read more

In searching for a new dentist, Drake Dental was recommended to me and I want to support businesses run by women. I had a tooth break, they worked me into Dr. Kathy's schedule and getting the crown was a breeze! Dr. Kathy and her wonderful assistant explained every move and constantly inquired how I was feeling. Their care and concern was above and beyond anything I've experienced at any other dentist in my 70 years! read more

Terrible customer service. I was calling as a new patient trying to set up an appointment and I asked if they accepted my insurance. The receptionist told me to figure it out and call back when I had. Never going there! read more

Drake Dental is The best dentist office I've ever been to! I'm an absolute baby about going to the dentist. However Dr. Khaganey and her amazing staff make you feel relaxed and do an amazing job turning a dreadful dentist appointment into a pleasant experience!! Thank you to Kathy,Becky,Maggie,Nicole and the rest of your amazing staff read more

Gentle and painless cleaning and very friendly and knowledgable staff. They make going to the dentist easy. I actually learned things about my teeth during my last regular cleaning that I hadn't known before..like about proper care of some problem areas etc. I live on the other side of the state now but if i still lived in kzoo I would be going to drakes. and that's the tooth! (sorry) read more

Dr. Duffy and her staff are incredible! They always provide us with the best dental care using the most advanced technology available. I am usually not a fan of going to the dentist, but Dr. Duffy and her team put my family and I at ease knowing we are in skilled hands. They are especially great with our girls (ages 5 and 7) and have a way of making them feel relaxed and excited to go the dentist. Thank you for all that you do! read more

I had a crown and filings which was done professionally and painlessly. Great staff. Highly recommend.

Drake Dental has a wonderful curb appeal, and wonderful dr's and wonderful hygienists, but the office staff especially the manager ruins it for all of them. My son received his first cavity filling @10 yrs old, and my old dentist didn't charge for nitric (with my other child). When we were all done, we were charged 50.00 in addition to our copay. I was surprised and my whole family had been patients for 2 years at this point. I was "shamed" into paying the unexpected out of pocket, and in front of another patient. I was turned to voicemail when i called back to speak with the office manager (who was helping their new hire shame me) then this office manager made no effort to resolve my issue. THEN 2 days later I received in the mail a letter informing me to seek another dentist. Their office was unable to provide my family with dental services in the future. This was about a year ago. My sister and her WHOLE family was just fired by the same office manager for something that was their office manager's fault too. They are horrible customer service advocates. They need to fire their office manager. It's called customer service sweet heart! It's why you have a job--customers--! read more

Everything is aesthetically pleasing to the eye, but don't be fooled. This is the first dentist where in the middle of working on me, the dentist will go start working on someone else. I have had quite the problem with getting numb, and my anesthetic wears off very quickly, because I was told I can't have Epi in my shot, which I will get to in a moment. You would think if they know this, they wouldn't go start another patient. Back to the Epi fiasco. I have had extensive dental work in the past, and always received epinephrine in my shot with no problem. This was the first place where a dental hygienist gave me my shot. I think she injected it in my vein or something, because all of the sudden I felt like my pulse was racing. this place looks very nice, but if you want one on one dental care, don't come here. read more

Great dentist! Very nice, knowledgeable and helpful staff. They seem to be ahead of the game technology wise and use some really nice equipment. I moved an hour away but decided to stick with them and drive there instead of finding someone else more local. Highly recommended. read more

Just had the best semi-annual cleaning ever! Gentle, expedient, and stress free. Props to hygienist Pat!

The Best Dentist I have ever been to! So knowledgeable and Pain Free! I drive over and hour to go there! Dr. Duffy is amazing!
