I'm not a fan of the dentist, but I've always been impressed with Dr. Waugh and his staff. I'd rank…read morethem among the best dental practices in Lexington. I visited yesterday for an annual exam. Everyone was friendly, and I was seen less than 5 minutes after completing my paperwork. The technician worked efficiently. My X-Rays were taken quickly, and I experienced no pain (only slight discomfort at times) throughout my teeth cleaning. I was never left waiting in the chair. Immediately following my cleaning, Dr. Waugh entered to examine my teeth and X-Rays. I was in and out in about a little over an hour (including time for paperwork), and my teeth and gums looked and felt great. Payments: Theses days medical practices demand an upfront payment even if the procedure will likely be covered by insurance. They would rather apply a credit to the patient account (if needed) than wait for the insurance to pay, or take the risk of not being paid. Having that been my experience I fully expected to be charged a co-pay. So I was delighted to learn Dr. Waugh practices the opposite approach. I was told they will first bill my insurance (Humana), and only if the insurance did not cover the total cost would I be expected to pay. It was a welcomed break from the new norm. The low point of yesterday's visit: they found a cavity (or three), and I can't believe I'm writing this, but I'm actually looking forward to returning in 2 weeks.

Take 2# Unfortunately after 35 years of relationship I had to find a new dentist due to one dentist not handling a failed tooth filling by his assistant respectfully. She dropped a tool in my mouth twice, while I was totally numb and could not feel anything except getting startled each time. After numbness was gone after few hours I noticed my upper and lower teeth were hitting each other very hard, could not eat, or speak properly. Went back after calling the front desk in a few days. Dentist came in the room agitated and without apologizing said what is it. I told him about the issue and he said well you should have told us that day before leaving the office told him you numbed my mouth and I was swelling with no feeling in my mouth. After some adjustments he fixed it. Told him his not known assistant "she never introduced herself to me,"did the failed job since he left shortly after numbing and removing old fillings on the original visit. I told him mistakes happens so best is to accept and fix the problem as I do every day in my own job. He said she is my longtime assistant and she doesn't make any mistakes. He should have apologized and fix the problem instead of defending someone that I had never met for 35 years as his assistant. The End
