I had a wonderful experience at Dr. Akin's office in Bay St. Louis. Dr. Akin is wonderful (a very…read morecaring soul), and his staff is fantastic. I'm an RN so I know how things should be, and this office is no exception to being among the best in health care. The staff were so nice and knowledgeable. They treated me like I was their best friend. I felt very safe. The office was very clean. Here are some of the things that stood out to me: They handled money arrangements before I was sedated. It was quick and easy. They asked me my allergies many times. Got my IV started on the first stick. Draped me with a furry, soft blanket in the chair. No thin white, scratchy hospital blanket for them! Dr. Akin knows is stuff. He discusses with you your needs, and you are part of the decision making. He even called to check on me. You are given gas as well as IV sedation so you absolutely do not feel a thing, and don't remember any of the procedure. Believe it or not, having my tooth extracted/bone graft performed was a pleasurable experience thanks to this outstanding crew!! Angel S Bay St Louis

I had a tooth that got infected. I went from zero pain to extreme pain within three days, Dr. Brandner's office got me in right away and booked my procedure. Dr. Brandner did an amazing job!!! I never had any more pain even the day after the work that was performed. He is gentle and extremely knowledgeable, and explains very clearly what he going to do. I felt comfortable going into the procedure and even better after

Patient beware..... I have no complaint on the medical procedure and ability to resolve the issue…read more Medical side of the visit was fine. never waited more than 5 minutes for my appointment. My complaint is with the lack of disclosure on which insurance plan they would bill - dental or medical because Dr. Brandner was in network for one insurance but not the other. Thus, be sure to ask which insurance the office will be billing because you could be left with a significant surprise bill that 2-3 times the expected cost.

When a patient is clearly uncomfortable and in pain the last thing you need to do in a healthcare…read morefacility is to make the patient feel awful for not properly taking X-rays or rushed to sit in a chair that makes her anxiety skyrocket! Why would you cut off a patient who is expressing how much they're scared of dentist just to tell them she doesn't care she's not a dentist she's a dental hygienist. None of these things will make patients feel comfortable around this staff. I'm afraid empathy training wouldn't even work.

I need you Yelpers to know that this praise is coming from the world's MOST dentophobia (dental fear) patient there ever was. Doctor Ferguson and his staff were so patient with my hyper anxiety. Dr. Ferguson was so upbeat and confident; his enthusiasm was very reassuring to someone with such a strong phobia as I had. On the day of the surgery, he was very reassuring and helpful in getting me settled down so they could go to work on pulling my abscessed molar. He did not rush me or become impatient with my crying and my apparent fear...he just smiled and spoke softly to me as I was falling apart before they were going to administer anesthesia. He allowed me the time I needed to move forward with the surgery. The assistants were terrific also. They were so gentle and patient with me as I was having an absolute meltdown before my surgery. Melissa, Dr. Ferguson's assistant, just was as sweet as anyone could be in dealing with an adult that was behaving like a certified little baby. She talked so kind to me as I shook and cried while she tried to explain how I would be fine and it was not going to be as bad as I thought. Unfortunately for all of them, I was inconsolable at the time, but I did go under the spell of the wonderful anesthesia and I awoke not even knowing it was over. I believe the other nurse that was in the room was Mary, but my mind was on other things at the time, so I can't say for sure. She also was so understanding and reassured me that I could take all the time I needed to adjust to the reality I was going to have to submit to a dental procedure I did not want to take part in. My recovery was quick and painless. I didn't even have to take any pain medication. At my two week checkup, both Melissa and Dr. Ferguson were so kind to me. They reassured me that I was not their worst patient ever. I had actually gone in to the appointment feeling very embarrassed by my previous behavior and was kind of dreading facing them again. They just made me feel so "normal" and that I had not been as big of a pain as I had feared. I just can't give them enough praise for the entire experience. If they had a "love" button on YELP, I would use it on this dental dynamo team. They really are BRILLIANT, OUTSTANDING, and FABULOUS!!!
