She helped me out of a very prolonged and painful scenario. I found that she is kind, nurturing, sincere and truly does care about her patients and takes pride in her work. Very hard to find folks with that killer combo. Anyways, the staff is awesome too and I cant really say anything negative about my experience here. If you are reading this I assure you that you will not be disappointed. You'll probably wonder why you took so long to find a great dentist like Dr. Slater. Before i forget....she also saw my two daughters and they loved her demeanor and playfulness. She is awesome with kids. Now I can enjoy my life like normal thanks to Dr. Slater and her wonderful staff.

Run, don't walk from this practice!!!!! Dr Newman saw my daughter for a decaying molar she has. My…read morekids previously lived with their father for a time and he didn't take care of their dental needs while they were in his care and now I am dealing with the aftermath of that. Dr. Newman recommended a root canal and a crown for my daughters permanent molar. I explained to Dr. Newman that I didn't have the money to put into a root canal and a crown for her tooth. We do not have health insurance. I agreed to go see an endodontist to see how much it was going to be for a root canal. Dr Newman assured me that if I saw the endodontist that he recommended and that if I still decided I wanted to have the tooth pulled that he would pull it for her. I went to see the endodontist only to be told that it would be over $2,000 out of pocket to have just the root canal done not including the crown that Dr. Newman would have to put on. It cost me $250 out of pocket just to be told something I already knew, that we couldn't afford to save the tooth. I called Dr. Newman's office a few days afterwards to schedule the extraction as by this time my 11yr old daughter was in pain from the decaying tooth. A few days before our scheduled appointment I got a call from the office asking if I still wanted to get the tooth pulled. I told them I did, as my daughter is in pain and needs it pulled. The day before her appointment I received another call from the office asking the same question. At this point I got a little frustrated because I had let them know already that yes she needs the tooth pulled as she is in pain. I explained to them that I agree that saving her tooth would be the best course of action as it is an adult molar, but I simply can't afford it and she is hurting. Then about an hour later I received another call from the office stating that Dr. Newman will not pull the tooth tomorrow at her scheduled appointment, as he doesn't think it is the best course of action for my daughter. The day before her appointment to have it pulled they call and tell me this! After spending hundreds of dollars out of pocket to see another doctor and getting the run around. Losing valuable time that I could have been looking for someone to take care of it for her. I'm sorry but this office is a joke. Had Dr. Newman let me know at our first appointment that he didn't want to pull the tooth and he would not perform the extraction, I could have been searching for another doctor to pull her tooth. Now my daughter is in pain with no relief in sight. What happened to compassion and understanding in todays doctors? What is a low income family with no insurance supposed to do when their child is in pain and needs a tooth pulled and they can't afford to save a tooth? I spent hundreds of dollars out of pocket just to get the run around from this doctor, who honestly made me feel less than, just because I can't afford to save her adult tooth. Doctors like this shouldn't be allowed to practice. They wanted to refer me to an oral surgeon and I declined. I know how expensive oral surgeons are and I wouldn't go to anyone this doctor recommends. I have 5 children and none of them will be going back to College Station Dental. Dr. Newman you should be ashamed of yourself for allowing a little girl to suffer needlessly. Do yourself a favor and don't send your kids here. Find an older doctor that has been around and has some compassion for kids and for their parents who are struggling in this economy. Worst experience ever with a dentist.

And we decided we needed to get me checked out and get whatever's wrong taken care of before I get cut off my mothers insurance (I wasn't 26 just yet but it was close to my birthday) anyway we went in and they had a look at that tooth and scheduled to have it filled. And that was fine. But they later scheduled a full mouth examination and claimed I had loads of cavities and failing fillings. which I found strange. I take good care of my teeth. I floss every time I brush and I brush twice a day. I use mouth wash after I do the brushing process. So it didn't make sense to me. Should've suspected they were full of it But I didn't. anyway they said it was mainly on the right side of my mouth on my upper teeth. they filled those teeth. However they ended up fusing 3 of them together with filament. I discovered this when trying to floss. I thought the gap was just really tight so I tried forcing the floss in. I ended up accidentally breaking through the filament instead. I also didn't realize it until recently but doing that also basically left a crack in my tooth. I didn't get the floss between the tooth like I thought, I went into the tooth. Anyways though we went in a few days later to get that fixed. They somehow didn't notice the newly formed crack. Which to be fair neither did I at the time. But they're the dentist so I would think they would've seen it. All they did when they "fixed" it was polish my teeth that were fused. Which did make the gaps accessible again so I could floss. But after that they became sensitive. I think I told them about this as well but they didn't say anything about it so I guess they didn't think it was an issue. They then said I had 2 more cavities on the left side of my mouth. They didn't mention it after the examination. Should've seen that as a red flag but we instead went along with it. they also said both of those teeth on my bottom left would need crowns. We once again went along with it. Should've gotten a second opinion but we didn't. Got those put in after they did all they needed to do to acquire them and install them or whatever. This was done in June by the way. Those crowns still ache every now and then. Couldn't tell at the time though. And I also thought the aching was normal for the first few weeks. But they still ache so I guess they didn't do it right. Both of those crowns were very expensive thanks to insurance it was 980+ dollars per crown. It was not the end though cause once again they changed their tune and claimed I had another cavity on the top left that required a crown neglecting to mention it until then and once again went through the process of getting that taken care of. And after they got that one put in they pulled the same thing of neglecting to tell me of a cavity until then. This time it was just behind the crown they just put in on the top. They even showed me an x-ray showing the cavity. At this point we began to question if all this was necessary. which is something we should've done way sooner. we then went to some other dentist in town to have them check the tooth they claimed had a cavity and was needing a crown to see if these other dentists thought the same. They claimed the tooth didn't have a cavity and they didn't think it needed a crown given how much healthy tooth structure was left. It was at this moment we realized we basically got scammed. It also made me question if I needed any of the crowns that were already in my mouth now. And honestly I probably didn't. On that side of my mouth where the crowns are, I can't even eat anything that's too hard now. Hurts those crowned teeth if I try. Crowns also last a bare minimum of 10 years aswell as far as I know. So I'm gonna have to get these things replaced at some point. And there's no telling how much these things will cost by then. I'm just angry about this whole situation. To put it nicely. They're lucky we don't sue them to be honest. If I can sue them for this anyway. Hell they're lucky my mother is even willing to still pay what we owe. Definitely wouldn't recommend these people though. Unless you want to get lied to and robbed

Because of his treatment, one of the fillings he did fell out a a week later since it was done so thinly, and the other he shaved down the wall of my tooth so thinly (like it was so thin that it was sharp) that my actual tooth chipped a few days after the visit. I went back to this company after having a wonderful experience with their previous dentist, but to my surprise the old dentist sold the practice to a new person. This new person seemed fine, and everything seemed normal until he started his cleaning and it was so fast I didn't even know it was a cleaning. Then he proceeds to tell me that I have 2 cavaties. That is fine and he let me know the course of treatment in which he seemed like he wanted to prove to me I had cavaties which I found odd because I totally believed him and was totally on board. He then to prove I had cavaties, took pic of the teeth using a special device. Once again, I believed him without the pics and also have no idea what a cavity looks like in the first place. I come to find out that he charges for that imaging, which is why I think he did it (he did not ask me if I wanted this service and it is not covered by my insurance apparently.) Felt scammy and very uncomfortable. The absolute worst part though is that I actually lost part of my real healthy tooth due to this visit. He filled 2 cavaties and a small chip in my front tooth. I don't know if he was just trying to save money or what, but he barely filled the teeth that he treated for cavaties. As you can tell by now, my teeth aren't great so I have had many fillings in my life and no dentist has ever used so little filling. The part of healthy tooth I lost was the wall of the tooth he had to drill super far into. He barely filled it and left the wall super thin and sharp and brittle feeling. Turns out it was brittle because while eating spaghetti, the wall of my tooth broke off. The chipped front tooth filling also feel out a few days later. I ran my tongue over my tooth and the filling popped right out. But before even leaving the dental office I realized I couldn't close my mouth all the way. I felt a bump on the back of the tooth next to my front one that got the filling. When he asked if there was anything else he could do while literally being halfway out the door, I told him I think there was filling on the back of my other tooth. With a look of slight exasperation, he sat back down and checked it out. He filed it down and said, great, and left the room and I was directed to the front desk. After getting home and spending some time with my new teeth, the thinness of the teeth/fillings set in but he had said that everything looked good after finishing up with removing the bump from my other tooth, so I thought he is the professional and moved on. Anyways, I was scheduled to move cities a few days later so I finished packing and moved. Then after all of the stuff happened with my teeth pieces falling out of my mouth, I contacted my insurance to see if I could potentially get reimbursed for the fillings so that I could afford to get the damage fixed, but the dentist has denied refunds and says that I have to come back to their office and that if he sees that he is at fault he will fix them for free but if he seems himself not at fault I will have to pay for them to get fixed. I have said repeatedly I don't feel comfortable coming back because I had such a negative experience and don't trust him as a dentist, as well as the potential of him deeming it as my fault, as well as I would have to pay and take more time off work to travel back to see him. They keep saying it is our word against yours as justification for not reimbursing me and having me come back in and drop my claim as well which feels very manipulative. Anyways, please, please, please, do not go to this dentist and spread the word to not as well! A lot of the great reviews are about the old dentist that used to own the practice.
