The insurance person (Kylie/Keely) is the most rude and nasty individual at any business I have…read moreever met in my life! And Frankie was unwilling to work with me as well, because, she said, "that's not how we do things here anymore." Apparently, much has changed in a year, sadly. There was a GLITCH with my insurance, not on my end, but on the insurance company end. This happened once before about a year ago here and it all worked out and went through fine at this same office. This time, I had the same problem. I reminded her that this happened before but Kylie/Keely refused to help me after I was passed to her by Frankie (who also told me she would not work with me to sort it out), insisting I pay out of pocket. Not only did I remind her that this happened previously and had the proof to show it all worked out (EOB's), I also had my insurance info available as well as had my insurance company call and verify my info directly with Kylie/Keely and send her proof of current good standing insurance coverage! Kylie/Keely insisted that this was not enough "proof" of insurance, and even with my credit card on file, insurance calling her directly, insurance company directly sending proof of coverage to Kylie/Keely and Frankie, and my willingness to pay out of pocket if need be and providing them with my credit card, she absolutely refused to believe I had coverage and would not work with me whatsoever. WHAT!?!? So Kylie/Keely took my credit card, immediately billed me and refused all info that came directly from my insurance company.... directly from the insurance company!!! I will never ever go here again, nor will my family. My suggestion? Get a new insurance person for the office because Kylie/Keely will most definitely cost you more customers. Firstly, her attitude is incredulous! I have never been treated so poorly. I am NOT a scumbag. I pay my bills and work hard to ensure I have proper insurance and take care of my debts...but Kylie/Keely and Frankie made me feel like I was nothing. I have never been made to feel so terrible in my life by anybody. Frankie should not be employed there either, given her lack of wanting to help patrons and refusing to do anything to work with me for absolutely no reason other than that is not how things are done in your office anymore! You just lost an entire family full of business....a family FULLY insured and who pays any and all copays in full and on time.

Dr. Katie is excellent; she is thorough and addresses all questions and concerns. As a result, I needed Periodontal Scaling. My first two visits were with Amanda the dental hygienist who is amazing, she was personable, very knowledgeable and made me feel at ease, and explained the process in detail. My third visit was for dental work performed by Dr. Katie who did a fantastic job. She was very thorough, knowledgeable, patient, and explained in detail to me what needed to be done.

When I explained to Dr. Katie that my wife suffered from severe dental anxiety and required extensive dental work, I shared that several other dentists had declined to treat her. Rather than seeing this as an obstacle, Dr. Katie embraced the challenge with compassion, professionalism, and determination. Throughout the entire process, Dr. Katie, Haley, and Hanna demonstrated exceptional care, honesty, patience, and understanding. Their dedication made my wife feel comfortable and supported every step of the way. I cannot thank them enough for the incredible impact they have had on our lives. Thanks to their expertise and commitment, my wife now has a beautiful smile and a renewed sense of confidence. They have truly given her a new lease on life.

I had an unexpected dental emergency when I broke my front tooth on a Friday afternoon and was…read morehonestly very anxious about what to do. I reached out to the office and Kathy Terrell, the Office Manager and Patient Coordinator, responded immediately. She arranged an appointment for first thing Monday morning and took the time during our text exchange to check on whether I was in pain and offered helpful suggestions to prevent further discomfort. What truly stood out was that on Monday morning--before the office even opened--Kathy texted again to confirm the last-minute appointment time worked for me. Her responsiveness, professionalism, and genuine concern were exceptional and incredibly reassuring during a stressful situation. When I arrived at the office, I was greeted warmly by the team. After I shared that I hadn't been to a dentist in years due to severe dental anxiety, Chettele Hoyle, the dental assistant, immediately focused on helping me feel calm and comfortable. She suggested bringing a headset so I could listen to music and shared several thoughtful techniques to help ease my nerves. Her compassion and attentiveness made a huge difference. From the moment Dr. Alexis Patel entered the room, her calm and reassuring demeanor immediately put me at ease. She carefully walked me through the procedure step-by-step so I knew exactly what to expect. Her bedside manner was outstanding--gentle, patient, and incredibly reassuring. This entire team turned what could have been a very stressful experience into one that felt supportive, professional, and genuinely caring. I am incredibly grateful to Kathy, Chettele, and Dr. Patel for the outstanding care they provided. If you are looking for a dental office that truly prioritizes patient comfort, responsiveness, and exceptional care, I cannot recommend them highly enough.

My appointment was at 9:15 a.m., and I arrived early at 9:05 to fill out the paperwork. At the…read morefront desk, a guy told me the X-ray and exam would cost $290, and he repeated it several times. However, when I was taken to the room, the assistant said it would actually be $309. When I asked why, she said, "It's just a $10 difference," which is not true -- it's $19. I told her I would be paying cash (no insurance) and that I didn't appreciate the price changing before we even started. She said she would go check the price and never came back. After 40 minutes, I went out myself and found her just standing there. She said they had increased the prices and that the front desk "didn't know." Then the doctor, Robert Huggins, came in and said prices were higher because I made the appointment "a month ago." That's not true -- I scheduled it three days before. He apologized and agreed to honor the original $290 price, and even said he'd do it for $280. He gave me anesthesia at 11:10 a.m. and said he would start in a few minutes. But he didn't come back for almost an hour -- until 11:55. By that time, the anesthesia was already wearing off. When I told him this was unacceptable, he said, "You're right, I should've told you to come next week, because I'm too busy today." Then he gave me two options: he said he could either start right now and finish everything in 15 minutes, or reschedule me for another day. So basically, after sitting in that chair for three and a half hours, hungry, numb, and ignored, he suddenly decided my treatment could be rushed in just 15 minutes. That's not normal, and it's absolutely unacceptable. Even though it was an emergency for me and I decided to let him fix the tooth that day, I left the clinic completely drained and disappointed. No one offered water, no one apologized. At the end, he gave me a $50 discount, and I ended up paying $618 in total. I will never come back to this place again -- and I don't recommend it to anyone who expects respect, honesty, and professionalism
