I pondered whether I should write this review or not. Fortunately, I didn't have to make the…read moredecision as it was made for me. About 7 months or so ago I went in for a cleaning and much to my dismay I was told I had 5 cavities. In the first 30 years of my life I had none, but now I have five. That should have been my first indicator. About a week after my first round of cavities being filled the exact spot of one cavity became extremely sensitive to cold or heat so I go back in. Her explanation, my gum has receded some so that was causing the sensitivity on the top of my tooth in the exact spot she filled my cavity. Right, so she puts something on the exposed part of my tooth to help and within 2 days it had all fallen off. Several weeks later I went in to have the remaining 3 cavities filled, only I was told they were filling 2 cavities. After I paid and was about to walk out the tech come rushing out informing me they hadn't filled one of the cavities and wanted to know if I wanted to come back in and start the process all over again. I think not. So by this point, I've decided that I will never set foot in this place again. Now, a full 6 months after my last treatment I get a bill in the mail saying I have an unpaid balance that is over 90 days due. First, I paid my balance in full after my last appointment so why do I all of a sudden have an unpaid balance. Second, how is this the first letter I got concerning this. This insinuates that I've got at least 2 other letters and have not bothered to pay up. I had thought this place was suspect early on but this was just the straw that broke the camel's back. On Tuesday I'm going to go in on my lunch break, pay my past due balance and walk out of that place and never go back. I hope that if anyone is looking for a dentist reads this and avoids this place like the plague. If you are looking for quality dentistry work and a professional experience, please look elsewhere.

Her treatment had been completed at the previous ortho, she just needed her braces removed and a retainer. Upon them reassuring me they could assist, they requested ALL of her records from the previous ortho, and of course that was no problem. My daughter attended her appointment less than 10 minutes and I was then told by the "assistant" that my daughter would be required to do an additional 4 months of treatment "because the Dr just wanted to make sure everything was perfect" and I was quoted $1600 for 4 months of treatment. UNBELIEVABLE. When I asked for a breakdown, I received via email that they were going to redo all her xrays and records ALREADY GIVEN TOO THEM FROM THE PREVIOUS ORTHO. I was quoted $200 per visit which equals $800 when I asked where the remaining $800 came from I was told again by his "assistant" oh thats for the removal and retainer.

You…read moreknow most kids have apprehensions about going to ANY doctor, something about those face masks and needles, I guess ;). However, I saw fit to leave a review because my children love this dentist office. The staff is super friendly and they go above and beyond to ensure that children feel safe and comfortable throughout the entire appointment. They even gave my kids gift bags to take home and practice their brushing and flossing. For the first week after my 5-year old's appointment, she told me repeatedly that sugar was bad for her teeth and that she was going to brush her teeth after every meal. You don't understand, it was repeatedly. It was a bit redundant, but I was happy that she learned something new and was happy to share. Now, for adults, you would also appreciate this office because of the professionalism of the staff and cleanliness of the facility. The waiting room has comfy clean couches and a TV to keep you occupied. The staff was very friendly and just as knowledgeable as the dentist. Dr. Thompson is amazing and very straight forward with her guidance on maintaining healthy teeth. She even gave me a pep talk on stopping my 5-year old's finger sucking and I am happy to report that it worked and she no longer sucks her fingers! Thanks, Soft Touch Dentistry for a pleasant doctor's visit.

This review is not for the dentist or her assistants. I saw Dr. Thompson yesterday for an exam, and…read moreshe was kind and thorough. However, I am frustrated with her front receptionists. I wanted to schedule my next appointment in October, and I gave them my insurance's coverage information that clearly states the appointment would be covered. However, based on some "policy" that the front desk came up with, they wanted me to schedule the appointment in November because they were worried insurance wouldn't cover the appointment. 1. I asked to see this policy as written, and the front desk told me no. 2. I asked to speak to an office manager, and the front desk told me no. She asked me if I wanted to speak to the other receptionist. I said yes. After being on hold, she did not transfer me to anyone and told me to go to another dental office. 3. I asked them if they could file the claim for me in October, and if insurance wouldn't cover it, I'd be happy to pay out of pocket. They refused to even try to file the insurance claim, stating their "policy" tells them not to. I understand being worried insurance won't cover the appointment, but I'm angry at the fact they wouldn't even try to file the claim without a good reason, especially when I told them I would assume the risk. I also think the front desk was unprofessional in saying she'll let me speak to another receptionist but then turns around and tells me to go to another dental office. I DO NOT recommend this office, especially to my fellow military spouses. Please go anywhere else.
