My office visit with Dr. Yung and his staff yesterday was outstanding. The entire team was…read morefriendly, welcoming, and incredibly helpful. They went above and beyond to ensure I was comfortable and fully understood every procedure and treatment option available to me. The staff took the time to answer all my questions and explain everything clearly. If a service was not available in their office, they provided referrals to help me continue my dental care without delay. I only wish Dr. Yung could provide all of my dental needs. I drove two and a half hours for this appointment, and it was absolutely worth every mile. The exceptional care, professionalism, and dedication of Dr. Yung and his team made the trip worthwhile. I highly recommend their practice to anyone seeking outstanding dental care.

If only smiling and being concerned with patient, comfort made a good dentist. My first and only…read morevisit to this dentist consisted of a dental cleaning by the doctor that took less than 10 minutes. No cancer screening examination. Clinical hygiene issues that left me very concerned that I could get an infection from the visit. The dentist did not practice any form of hand hygiene. He simply changed his outer pair of latex gloves for new ones. He was wearing filthy surgical scrubs that he'd clearly been wearing all day long. Some of the dental instruments were severely scratched and worn. I did not ask about an autoclave or sterilization procedures, but I know from my experience working in a hospital that any instrument that scratched should be discarded immediately. You also have to change all of your PPE completely between patients after you wash your hands, even if wearing gloves. Safety concerns, quality of care and antiquated equipment all combine to eliminate this practice from future consideration for me.

Being new to the area and South Carolina, my family was in need of a new dentist's office. I found…read moreGildner Family Dentistry of Lexington and loved the highly rated reviews, so I made appointments for the whole family. When I called the office to make appointments, I tried to get all three of us (my husband, son, and myself) scheduled at times near each other so that we can continue being seen bi-annually around the same time. The receptionist was unable to book the three of us at similar times for many months. My son had been experiencing some tooth pain, so I opted to have his appointment scheduled sooner while my husband and I took appointments at a later date. They were not able to schedule any of us on the same day. My son (6 years old) was seen. After he was seen, I was informed that the dentist thinks he may have a cavity that was causing pain, but that they couldn't verify this because they were unable to take x-rays on him. They didn't have the correct equipment (a smaller x-ray sensor that would fit in his mouth) to perform x-rays. They referred him to a pediatric dentist that doesn't accept insurance. Because the office performed a cleaning, multiple pediatric dentist offices would not see my son as they require that a cleaning be done for all new patients. Eventually I was able to find an office that would accept him as a new patient and had him taken care of. I wish I had known that they wouldn't be able to do x-rays on a child before they performed the rest of the services, as I would have instead taken him to a dentist that was better equipped to see smaller children in the first place. My husband and I both had appointments scheduled, but not together. The best the office could do was to see my husband on Wednesday and myself the next day, Thursday. The office contacted me the Tuesday before my appointment to tell me that the dentist had another appointment and needed to reschedule mine. The receptionist was trying to reschedule mine for more than a month away, which I balked at because again, I wanted to keep our appointments around the same time. After spending about 5 minutes on the phone trying to find a time that would work for us both, my husband sent me a text message to let me know that someone from Gildner Family Dentistry had called him to reschedule but that he was working and wasn't able to take the call. I told this to the receptionist and she said that she was mistaken, it wasn't my appointment that needed to be rescheduled (even though we had just spent at least 5 minutes trying to find an appointment for ME). She mistakenly told me that my appointment needed to be rescheduled when it was my husband's on a different day. She rescheduled his appointment for the following day, Thursday, to be immediately following my appointment. My husband made arrangements with his employer and changed meeting times with his work to accommodate their needed change. The morning of our appointments, the office called to let us know that they would need to again reschedule because the hygienist that we were to see was now unavailable. We're now looking to schedule appointments with another practice, but are now past our bi-annual cleaning date. We'll only be able to get one cleaning done this year because of the disorganization of this office. I found my interactions with this office to be extremely frustrating and unprofessional. While the office brands itself as a "family" dentist practice, it's unequipped to treat all me members of the family. The office staff are unorganized. Multiple rescheduled appointments cause more headache than it's worth. My family will seek treatment at another office. I did find the hygienist that treated my son to be very friendly. The dentist had good bedside manner and seemed knowledgeable. I did like the personalities of the staff, but can't look past the frustrating issues that we've encountered and feel that my family would be better off being treated by a different practice. I would not recommend this practice.

Great dentist, AWFUL staff!! After 12 years avoiding the…read moredentist, I became a patient of Dr. Major for several years. Dr. Major and his hygienists are fantastic! Having a small, sensitive mouth, I really appreciated that getting a cleaning from them wasn't painful like other dentists I've been to. So, why 3 stars?? The reason I'm no longer a patient is due solely to their front desk/billing person, Kim. The first time she screwed up my billing, I assumed it was an honest mistake. I paid in office, then received a bill a month later, my partner had a cleaning that week so he tried to pay it while he was there and told there was no outstanding balance, but then we received another bill the following month. Oh, and you can't pay it online. Then I needed some work done, and it had to be appealed with my insurance. No problem, right? Wrong! First Kim needed ME to find the correct billing code for her, then I had to give her the appeal form Twice. The insurance told me they were sending the check to them, and I told her to let me know if they didn't get it. She let me know, not with a call or email, nope, with a late bill THREE months later! I called her again and asked her to put the bill on hold while I spoke to the insurance, which she agreed to, and a WEEK later when I went in for my cleaning she yelled at me across the lobby (in front of other patients) that she needed payment today and demanded I call my insurance in front of her if I wasn't going to pay her. Then, she came in during my cleaning to further discuss my bill. My hygienist let the dentist know how upset I was and he must have spoke with her, because she did apologize...by saying that she was "sorry but just doing her job" and that she "was doing me a favor to file it with my insurance." During the pandemic, I received 2 bills from them. Given that we've been advised dentists were only open for emergencies and they don't have a way to pay online, we assumed they were closed. Nope, had to go in and pay in person (or send a check...who has checks or can pay with their FSA/HSA with a check??), because I just wanted to be done with her. Given that she's been there 14 years I don't see her going anywhere anytime soon, but I won't be back.

I was told that I would be charged a 50 dollar fee. I decided to stay up after working a twelve hour shift so that I could make the appointment. Upon arrival I was met with a condescending and down right rude attitude from Amy. There was a discrepancy with my insurance, therefore I had my company insurance rep call and he was met with the same level of attitude. After a few minutes of being subjected to her attitude, I decided to cancel my appointment and look for a dentist elsewhere. Based off of her actions alone I will not recommend this office.
