The dentist was extremely rough--my jaw hurt for months afterward, and I had daily migraines from the pain. Their scheduling system is also frustrating. They refuse to adjust their reminder calls, which come at 7 a.m. on weekends and even before the office opens. If you don't confirm--because no one is there to answer--they cancel your appointment. One of the teeth they filled had never bothered me before, and now it hurts every time I bite down. The front desk staff is consistently rude and will ignore you while you wait to check in. I strongly recommend going elsewhere.

I was pleasantly surprised by the excellent care I received at Aspen Dental, Columbia, MO. Having…read moreread some reviews, I must say I was neither upsold nor was I pressured. I was scheduled for a consult with Dr. Parrott because I needed a molar (tooth #19) extracted and I knew it would be difficult because it was in the center of a bridge, He worked off of the xrays that I had from Dr Nolph in Jefferson City as I did not want more xrays taken. He took the time to work me in that day as I had been treated for an abscess. He worked very hard to get out this decaying tooth, removing it in pieces, He even took time to pre-numb with a first shot before giving the big dose of novacain. His staff was very pleasant and considerate. I was presented with two options and went just with extraction with a plug in order to not overstep my insurance coverage. I will go back anytime to see Dr Parrott. Also, I apologize to the waiting room patients who might have been delayed by my care which was provided excellently but I am certain took longer than expected. As a 78 year old, I will remain eternally grateful for Dr. Parrott and his staff.

Went to Aspen Dental yesterday for a second opinion from my long-time dentist, and it was horrible…read moreto say the least. I went in for a consultation. I approached the counter and handed the lady my insurance card and told her my name. She gave me the iPad to fill out. I went to sit down, and the receptionist got on the phone with the insurance company to see my coverage. The receptionist was yelling my information loudly instead of going to a different more confidential area. Luckily, I was the only one in the office. They called me back did x-rays and then took me to the exam room. The hygienist turned on the monitor in the room to look at my x rays and, several times while I was sitting in the chair Microsoft teams came across. On the office chat they were talking about patients, with their names and date of birth in an unprofessional manner. I guess there was a patient that showed up late to her appt., the staff was being very rude and talking about the client in an area other clients could hear the conversation. They were speaking about the patient in a derogatory tone, and one of the staff members says "well if she would have come on time then she would have been able to be seen. I told her that if she was wanting to be seen it would be at least an hour wait." One of the other staff members started laughing and said, "it will be at least an hour, if not longer" and started laughing. Then she said something along the lines of "well if she would have gotten here on time, then it wouldn't have been an issue." Don't get me wrong I know people being late for appts is frustrating but, there is not a need to speak about the client like that in front of other clients. Not only that but with Columbia being so tore up with construction, it does take longer to get around in the city. As I know this is something that should have been prepared for, it could have been out of her control and should never be talked about in front of another client. The "hygienist specialist came in, (didn't know there needed to be a special person to look at your gums). Without even looking in my mouth, I was told that I had the start of bone loss (never heard that before in my life) and that I would need a "deep cleaning" to fix that. This was a second opinion appt and my dentist back home has never mentioned having a deep cleaning and I go there regularly. I then spoke to the "hygienist specialist" and told her what I was wanting, and she stated that the doctor would never agree to that, and that even if I begged he would not give me what I wanted. My husband was sitting in the chair and saw the assistant look in my mouth with gloves on her hands then she went to the computer and started typing. She took her hand and pushed down the trash in the trash can and then went back to the computer. The hygienist noticed my husband looking at her and so she removed her gloves and used germ x. I wonder how long she would have used those gloves if he would have not been watching her? Lastly, we had to meet with the accounts person to get quotes, and we were told that "due to it being close to the time that they closed that they were going to put us in the lobby and we would have to wait for the accounts person." My appt was at 2:30 and I had got there at 2:15. It was not my fault that it took 2 hours for a dentist appt and that I needed to be flexible due to them taking too long. I went in to talk with the accounts manager, and she quoted us it to be about 4k. I asked her if that included the partial as well and she stated that it did not and that the doctor had not even wrote that I was going to be getting a partial. I told her that is what I thought I was getting the quote for. She then looked up adding a partial that bumped it up to $4400.00. I work in the health care industry and have for 7 plus years, I don't know how many incidents that went against HIPAA laws was crossed but I can think of about 5 off the top of my head. All together the place was dirty the staff was completely unprofessional. The doctors would not listen to me and completely disregarding me when I was saying that I had a calcium deficiency and that my teeth continue to break. I will never step back in that doctor office. The lack of cleanliness and professionalism was unacceptable. I asked for a copy of my x-rays and close to a day later still have not received them.
