I woke up 3 days ago with an extremely swollen face, pain & inflammation in the area of a bridge…read morethat was done late last year. I should go ahead and state that I have a balance at PDC at this time of about 280.00, which was the balance of the bridgework that my insurance did not pay. I had to pay quite a bit out of pocket before that work was even done. Due to a death in the family & caring for another elderly parent, money has been short. We called PDC 3 days ago & told them my symptoms, which were all concurrant with an abcess. The office then told us that I would not be seen, nor any antibiotics would be called in until the balance was paid. I have been a patient at this office for 13+ years & have never had an outstanding balance. Dr. Turner, who originally founded the practice, retired a couple of years ago & it was purchased by Dr. Kentros, who I've found is a more cosmetically centered dentist. I decided to stay with the practice, as I had been there for so long, but I'm sorely regretting that decision. I had to go to an emergency dentist since all the clinics nearby had no openings. After X-rays and examination, it was found that the bridge that cost well over 1,000.00 was installed with a gap in it, which exposed the root and caused an abcess. Thank God they gave me a prescription for antibiotics. I was told by the emergency clinic that the bridge would need to be removed and replaced. They suggested I call PDC, who did the work, to either repair, or to be given a refund so the work can be done elsewhere. Upon calling said clinic, I was told they still would do nothing until the balance was paid. Maybe I'm wrong here, but why would I pay this amount when the work was faulty to begin with? I'm furious, sick, and do not have an extra 280.00 in my account to spare. I was told it was an insurance issue & not an ethical one. It was allot of money and pain to have this work done. Beware!

You feel that they want you to be comfortable and do what they can to make you feel so. The first cleaning was hilarious. Our back and forth wasted 15 minutes of her time.

The 2nd crown was easier as she and her assistant were angels. my oral surgeon was..... OK. UAB or some shit.

When I return in Jan.for the root canal Dr. Luna did not numb me well , proceeded to drill when I opened my eyes he knew something was wrong he proceeded to tell me that he was attempting to save the tooth by filling the tooth, however I paid a root canal(suspect to say the least). I said Dr. Luna I paid for a root canal? He proceeded to do the root canal. He placed me on an antibiotic after the root canal and a week later the top right side of my mouth and face were in a pain I can't began to explain, I went back to Dr Luna and he looked at the X-rays and told me there was nothing wrong other than he needed to adjust my bite ( drilling again). I left and that night the pain came back even worse, I called the office a lady answered and I explained to her the issue , she said let me look at your chart , guess what ? She saw a cavity and a filling that needed to be replaced ( that's the lie I spoke of earlier that Dr. Luna lied about). I asked to have my records transferred and they gave me this spill about no we don't want you to go anywhere else come back in so we can rectify( excuse me I most certainly will not). I had already set an appointment at a different dentist( amazing chair side manners and experience). The new office informed me they would have my records transferred and not to worry. I have to return to Dr. Luna because I have paid for my procedure already and they have to place my crown , but when I tell you I don't want to because of the experience I had it's just not enough explaining I can do. I would not recommend Dr. Luna to anyone , they claim to be so Christian beware of wolves in sheep clothing, when you are a true child of God you don't have to speak it The ACTIONS WILL SPEAK FAR LOUDER THAN WORDS..

I got my first teeth about 3 weeks ago and gotta say she did a phenomenal job! The hit perfectly abs I can eat food again! I was very concerned bc I had crown bridges before that I hated and hurt me so bad I removed them ( partial dental things ) I'm 58 but have had a lifetime fear of dental procedures bc if childhood awful dentist ! Dr Barkley and her staff make me super comfortable with gas for anxiety abs they don't make me feel embarrassed for being afraid at my age ( the main reason I have lost so many teeth is avoidance of dentists ! ) Now that I've found a dentist I actually like and trust my fear is rapidly going away! She referred me to a endodonist last week for a root canal and I had never seen a specialist for that ( a dentist has done all previous root canals w horrible pain ) my fear was ramped you and it was incredulous easy ! Absolutely shocking that no pain swelling etc after ! I didn't even need Tylenol! . I'm glad I chose this dentist , bc she seems to understand dental anxiety as a real thing! Her prices are great too comparatively! Even though I go across town to see her I'd never change ! I cannot recommend her highly enough !
