When I look at reviews on Yelp, particularly doctors and dentists, I'm immediately suspicious that it's a ringer from the office or whatever. Especially if it's a 5 Star Review. That being said, let me assure you at the top here, I Googled dentists plano, had heard about Floss around town, read a good review and a so-so review on Yelp and decided to take a shot for my first visit. It helped that the most recent review revealed that they had a new dentist at the practice -- Dr. Butler -- and the patient was very enthusiastic about his care. Having no affiliation or deal with this practice and having just come from my visit there, I could not agree more. Here's why:
1.) Staff: excellent, relaxed, attentive from the moment I stepped in the slick, but comfortable waiting room. Jenner, the receptionist was on a call, but the Plan Manager was able to hand over the necessary paperwork immediately to get me started. The appointment was on time after I turned everything in and the hygienist, Tiffany, gave me a tour of the most modern dentist office I've ever visited (those who know Floss understand their investment here, which makes a difference in comfort and trust immediately). Like Apple opened a dentist's office to cut to the chase.
2. Environment & Technology: before I extoll the greatness that is Dr. Butler and Tiffany -- the team you want if you decide to give Floss Plano a shot -- let's discuss the amazing soundtrack, decor, office policies and technology of Floss. Great music is playing and that's something you notice at the outset. You also notice a no cell phone policy, which is amazing to see. This keeps the office running on time, no doubt. All the equipment is the latest technology and you can even see your x-rays as soon as they are snapped, which is something I've never seen.
3. Tiffany and Dr. Butler: After the tour, Tiffany performed a non-invasive 3D scan of my mouth, walked me through what she noticed (I grind my teeth and have some incisors out of alignment; I knew this and it was important for trust purposes that she noticed these issues immediately). The pod that you enter after is supper cozy and the plush leather chair makes a huuuuuge difference during your treatment, believe me. After taking like 18 x-rays, which were quick and effortless for the most part, Tiffany introduced Dr. Butler who performed an exam and walked me through the treatment plan.
4. Cost: this is the point in the exam, especially in a place as chic as this, where you expect the hard sell of services to pay for all this nice stuff -- Invisalign, veneers, cosmetic teeth whitening, et al. To be sure, this office no doubt excels in these services, performing them on the most advanced equipment from what I could tell, but Dr. Butler said only braces would make sense to fix my inverted incisors (and that would be a several year commitment, at least); otherwise, I had no cavities and would only need a deep cleaning for the bottom row of teeth. In and out. No big deal. What a relief.
I declined to go any further with braces, which Dr. Butler understood completely, then the Plan Manager came back and walked me thru exactly what my insurance covered and my deductible, along with an itemized list of what the visit would cost and it was shockingly reasonable.
5. Cleaning: The team did an amazingly thorough job, I cannot say this enough and it was pain free, since I elected to receive nitric and numbing agents for the deep cleaning. Tiffany dancing to MGMT was refreshing to see in a hygienist, honestly, and immediately put me at ease during some of the more intense moments, although I don't even think that was her agenda. She just really digs music and thank god they play great music for her!
Conclusion: excellent staff, great vibe, pro treatment, surprisingly chill experience in just under an hour. Floss, at least in Plano, is most def worth the hype. read more
