I needed a root canal and had $2,000 in my dental insurance account. Before the work was started I…read moreasked the front office to verify my coverage which I observed her do while I was in the waiting room. I was handed back my card and told my coverage was verified. As they stated that payment was needed before the root canal was performed, I was told to put it on a credit card and get reimbursement from my insurance. I then proceeded to have the work done. As the reimbursement did not arrive after a considerable amount of time I contacted Dr. Bergmans office to see if they had received the payment. I was then informed that they do not take any insurance in their practice, it's cash only. I was stunned and asked why they didn't inform me of this at the time when I was asking for insurance verification prior to the procedure as I made it quite clear that I intended to use my funds from my plan. I would have gone elsewhere of course. The front office receptionist simply continued to state that they didn't accept any insurance and that was that. Now I understood why they insisted I put it on a credit card. A few days later I called the office and asked to speak to Dr Bergman. I explained what had transpired and asked that he would in the very least refund a portion of my $2,000. He refused. I'm a senior living on social security and this was an incredible financial crisis for me. I don't have any complaints regarding the work done but feel I was blatantly mislead and lied to for my business. Shame on Dr. Bergman. It's hard to imagine that this office is so greedy and heartless.

My visit to Gillespie Dental Associates was the most positive new patient appointment I have ever…read morehad. From the start, the staff in the front promptly returned my call to set up an appointment. The hygienist, Hannah was so lovely. She had the space set up in a cozy manner with lamps and gentle music playing. Throughout each step she was communicative, careful, and attentive. Then, Dr. Patel arrived and continued to provide the same level of compassion and attentiveness. I would highly recommend this practice who anyone who has dentist appointment apprehensive like I did in the past.

He takes time to explain, and is happy to pause and take a break if needed. Gillespie is the exact opposite of this. He threatens underage patients with being held down, does not adhere to patients request for the level of numbing, and does not seem to understand the meaning of consent. I requested no numbing for a tooth being pulled - he pulled the majority of the tooth (the remainder of which later was flicked out by another dentist who didn't think I needed numbing at all), and proceeded to be emotionally/verbally abusive trying to force me into an injection. I will never return to this office, and I certainly would never dream of bringing my children here. If you're looking for a kind and decent dentist, steer clear of this office.

I am particularly grateful to Dr. Barry Duncan and his technician, Tiffany Penland, who have seen me through several procedures with patience, kindness, and a great deal of skill. Rose and all of the office staff have been a constant source of information and help. And each person I have met along the way has treated me with careful attention. I went to Dr. Duncan to have teeth extracted and dentures made. Dr. Duncan is licensed to administer sedation which I chose for one of the extraction procedures, easing both the procedure and recovery. Because of the attention he gave to molds and directions to the lab, my dentures look quite natural. They are quite beautiful! And he has provided excellent care as final adjustments to the bite and fit are made. I have seen numerous dentists throughout my life, but can say with all sincerity that the Biltmore Dental Group far outshines any other experiences. I recommend them without reservation.

I've been going there for a few years with no problems or complaints until recently. I had a new hygienist, Jackie, who unfortunately seemed inexperienced, used the incorrect tool on my teeth, which made my cleaning quite painful, and showed no empathy for my pain.

I wish I could tell you the quality of their dentist, but the train wreck of their internal…read moreoperations staff and their inappropriate procedures kept me from even seeing their dentist. Three months before my first appointment I asked them to check my insurance coverage because it's out of state. They refused and said that they would do that a month before the appointment ... if I reminded them. I did remind them at the one-month mark, and they could not navigate my insurance company's authorization process. My previous dentist had been doing it fine for four years so it's squarely a problem at Embark Dental. Three days before the appointment they asked me to send pictures of my insurance card, which I did. But it wasn't until the morning of the appointment that they texted me to say that they (mistakenly) thought my insurance only covered medical. That's an odd assumption considering that my insurance company had been paying my dental bills for the previous four years. When I arrived at their office, they still had not managed the simple navigation of a Blue Shield insurance agency. They wanted me to give them a credit card. They were basically saying that since they were so incompetent that they could not determine that I was actually covered for dental, they wanted to be able to tag my credit card to cover their inabilities. Then they wanted to digitize my driver's license. I am a former designated security officer for the Air Force, I have spent my whole life in high tech, and I know that digitized IDs are the new form of ID theft. When I declined to let them digitize my driver's license, they said that would be a requirement. I left. Save yourself the problem of leaving their office by not going there to begin with. You'll also save yourself a ton of unnecessary aggravation.
