I…read moreasked to be referred to an endodontist (Dr. Ukena, former owner of the practice had offered one to me in the past for the same service.) Endodontists are much faster at root canals and when you have Copd and myalgia fast is very helpful. It took her 3 appointments and a total of 8 hours (4,then 2 then 2) to complete these procedures. Also she couldn't keep me numb, as I kept telling her, and kept jabbing me in the roof of my mouth which was very painful. By the end of the 3rd one I could barely get my twisted body out of the chair or walk. Then my oxygen started dropping and I was having sharp pains when breathing from ribs being out of place and an extremely tight diaphragm. As a result I landed in the ER, then hospital for over 2 days and had to be on oxygen. Needless to say, it was all very anxiety producing, confirmed by the doctor as contributing to the episode. If you are considering a dentist...I WOULD KEEP LOOKING.

Dr. Ukena is not only an excellent provider, he is also a wonderful, kind human being. Having trouble finding reliable dental care in Florida, I contacted Dr. Ukena because I was at a loss of what to do with my teeth. I had moved from SGF 5 years previously but needed a trustworthy, fair, intelligent provider and phoned Dr. Ukena to see if he would do a consult. He immediately asked for my previous records for review, discussed a potential plan with me over the phone and truly relieved my stress. I made the trip to see Dr. Ukena and his staff who took care of absolutely EVERYTHING including scheduling 2 additional appointments (Pam, Jessica, Tina & Mel - thank you). My old trusty grill has been given new life again. I spent just under a week coming from Florida to Dr. Ukena and Mel for their excellent care and service. I would do it again tomorrow too. The care Dr. Ukena & Mel provide is beyond exceptional. Never did I ever think I could have such an enjoyable time at the dentist's office... Dr Ukena is MORE than the gold standard for dental care and consider myself fortunate enough to be in his care. Thank you Dr. Ukena for being a wonderful, kind human being and providing top quality dental care for patients everywhere.

I don't say this lightly...but I would recommend this establishment to anyone of any other dentistry in Springfield, MO. My family and I have tried a few others, but they don't come close to the professionalism, knowledge, and care that comes from this team. They also really help us out with the insurance part of our visits. They are magnificent and my family appreciates everything you do for us.

All I had done was x-rays and check up. Dr. Carla Duff did not even do an oral exam but just looked at x-rays. Instead of her admitting she could possibly made a mistake, that she got involve in discussion of my x-rays and forgot to check and went to her next appointment, she said, I would never skip that and acted very unprofessional. A person knows when someone pulls out your tongue to look under it for cancer or lifts your lips back to check gums. She did neither but denied it and instead of offering to check it, she got all bent out of shape and offended. Telling friends/neighbors/family to definitely beware of two sides of this dentist/office practices.

Today was my first exposure to anything other than preventive procedures. I must say that Dr Hoff and his staff exceeded my expectations. I had a crown that I received from another dentist many years ago replaced today. I was expecting to have the crown removed, have an impression made, have a temporary crown installed and repeat the process once the permanent crown came back from the lab. Instead the old crown was removed, an image was taken of my tooth and the new crown was installed within an hour. This was all done in house---Outstanding R. Fry 1/8/19
