They got me right in and did a full set of x-rays. Dr. Dryden consulted with me and answered all my questions. He seemed very knowledgeable and has a very pleasant demeanor. I usually have a lot of anxiety when I go in for a dental procedure, but after speaking with him, I felt quite confident that I was in good hands He scheduled an appointment for me the next morning and extracted the broken tooth. When he injected me with a local anesthetic to numb the area, it didn't hurt. It was the first time I've ever had a pleasant experience at the dentist. I don't have insurance so I had to pay for it myself. The cost was about half of what I expected it would be. Dr. Dryden and his staff are all very professional and made me feel right at home. I highly recommend them!

I had been an established patient with the dental practice for several years and, prior to this…read moresituation, had no complaints about the quality of dental care I received. Unfortunately, significant staff turnover and ongoing scheduling problems have since made it unnecessarily difficult to access care in a timely manner. I had scheduled a cleaning and checkup with my regular dentist six months in advance. Approximately one week before the scheduled appointment, I was notified that it would have to be rescheduled because the practice no longer had a hygienist. While I understand that staffing issues can arise, I do not understand why the entire appointment had to be canceled, particularly when the cleaning and the dental examination could have been treated as separate services. More importantly, I was not given a reasonable alternative for receiving the examination before my dental insurance expired. I had been paying COBRA dental insurance premiums throughout the year specifically so that I would have coverage for this scheduled appointment. Having the appointment canceled with only about a week's notice left me in a difficult financial position and effectively prevented me from using the coverage I had been paying for. I specifically asked whether my regular dentist could see me before my insurance expired. My understanding was that my original appointment had been reassigned to another dentist, who subsequently left the practice as well. Despite the fact that my regular dentist--the dentist with whom I had originally scheduled the appointment--was still practicing at the office, I was told that it was "not possible" for her to see me before my insurance coverage expired. I find this particularly concerning because I had done everything reasonably expected of a patient: I had established care with the practice, scheduled my appointment six months in advance, maintained dental insurance coverage specifically for that appointment, and explained the insurance dilemma to the scheduler as soon as I learned there was a scheduling problem. Nevertheless, because of the practice's staffing and scheduling issues, I was left without a meaningful opportunity to receive the care I had planned and paid to have covered. While I understand that staffing changes are sometimes unavoidable, the way this situation was handled was not reasonable or patient-centered. At a minimum, I believe the practice should have made a good-faith effort to accommodate the examination with my established dentist before my insurance expired, rather than simply telling me that doing so was "not possible."

The last time I went, for a cleaning, I was recently divorced…read more The hygenist and I chatted up a bit , taking some time, and he (office) charged me about $250 for the cleaning, claiming it was an extensive cleaning. I had 1/2 custody of my three kids but by a perverse decision by nv supreme court, had to pay my ex wife as though she had full time custody (she had no job, and didn't want one either...). It was a very very difficult time in my life so $250 was a TON of money to me. I paid it off slowly. Since then I have never been charged more than $50 for a cleaning. I would avoid this office. Someone there is a bad bad person. Their action in this hurt me a lot and how was it my fault?? Every time I drive by that office I think about it. I tell anyone looking for a dentist to avoid them.
