While the surgeon and prosthodontist were genuinely very nice and caring, my experience was marred by the behavior of the nurse who was assigned to me throughout the day. She said very little about what she was doing or why, and she demanded actions from me--such as taking my blood sugar with my own tester and eating a small apple sauce--without providing any explanation. Anyone seeking new teeth should be aware that as long as she retains this attitude, I cannot recommend this place. I am a calm person and understood she was doing her job, but most patients are scared and need compassion and clear guidance. Paying such a high price for a dental assistant to be rude is simply unacceptable. One of the main reasons I chose Clear Choice was to have a better experience, but this Med Assistant's behavior made that impossible. I hate to write this because nearly everyone else was kind, respectful, and empathetic. It's disappointing that one person's attitude overshadowed the professionalism of Dr. Olsen and Dr. McClornan, who were very kind. It only takes one negative encounter to spoil the entire day. I will return in a few weeks for my follow-up and we will see if things are better. Hopefully someone hs a tlk with her about customer service, and once you upset someone or are rude to someone, it is very hard to get them to trust you.

I decided to have Dr Albright pull my remaining 11 teeth including 2 wisdom teeth so a full set of dentures would be in my future. Dr Albright is an anesthesiologist as well so I was certain pain during procedure would be minimal. As I recall we started at 3:30 PM and I was in a taxi heading to my hotel by 8:30 PM. My mouth was an open sore and the meds I was provided helped me survive the following week. Eventually, the swelling subsided and 2 weeks later, the stitches came out. Dr Albright was supremely confident throughout. I was under time constraints so the choice to get ALL this work done in one sitting was entirely mine. I'll be eternally thankful things went as well as they did. Dr Albright was assisted by his son and they performed admirably.

When Dr. Vela at All Smile said my bottom two wisdom teeth were severely impacted and had to come…read moreout, I turned PALE white. Oral surgery was (and still is) one of my greatest fears. I remember crying in my then-boyfriend's arms the day before scared I wouldn't wake up. The consultation with Dr. Hernandez was comforting. I asked if I could keep the teeth as a memento but he said no, because the severity of the impaction meant they would not be coming out in once piece. Also, I would not be under partial anesthesia. I would be completely unconscious. That terrified me. Granted, 10 months earlier I had undergone a surgery and was knocked out then, too so I was acquainted with general anesthesia, BUT STILL. When the day arrived my cousin acted as my caretaker. There were no gowns, the room looked like any other dental room. I was hooked up to an IV, told I'd feel something tingly, and before I knew it, I blacked out. (Like with my other surgery, I was like, "I'm just going to rest my eyes a bit while they're still getting ready..." and when I woke up they were done. wtf) I proceeded to text four people about how much I felt like a marshmallow. We picked up my pain pills, and I rested the next few days at my sister's. I lived off tea and protein shakes (and lost about seven pounds, lol) for a few days before a friend of mine took me out to brunch where I ate soft foods slowly. My mouth healed remarkably well and the best part was the surgery was covered by my insurance. I only had a $25 copay and that's it. No additional payments. It was the best decision my dentist ever made for me. Unfortunately I thought the removal would help with my migraines, but my wisdom teeth were not a contributing factor to them. :( But I am glad to have those teeth out, as they could have caused some serious problems. I would definitely refer people to Dr. Hernandez.

A search on Yelp revealed that Villa Dental takes walk-in patients and takes cash or has finance plans available. What's more, this facility is the hands-down the best rated dentist in San Antonio. Well, I'm pleased to say that there's a reason for all that goodwill. We got the earliest appointment available and were impressed from the moment we walked in the door. Unlike a lot of dental practices, the staff seems happy to be there - not dispirited and overworked like many other places. We were taken in on time and I got to observe the practice close to first-hand. The technology used in the X-ray and inner-mouth photography is top-notch and a step above my own dentist. Dr. Staes, as many here state, has a great bedside (chair-side?) manner and takes pains to explain everything. Came back the next day for a painless extraction and a couple of fillings. I can't say enough good things about Villa Dental. In fact, the only negative is that they don't take my dental insurance or I'd be a patient here too!

I'm getting censored on google reviews and feel this needs to be public knowledge. Here is my…read morereview of a local Dentist, Miner Dental. Update: I went to see Dr. Miner for 10 years. Everything was great until I decided to go with them for Invisalign. My treatment was $4700, which I paid $2700 up front, with the insurance covering $2000. Insurance pays out over the treatment period, which they told the insurance company it would be 12 months. So far, out of 8 checks, they deposited 4 and didn't credit that to my account. I found out after the office manager, sent messages to me every few months to threaten me with additional withdrawals from my HSA. This forced me to call the insurance company to get them on the phone with Miner Dental to help Miner Dental find the misplaced yet deposited checks. I've had to do this twice thus far; two checks have been missing each time. The last time I did this, I was on the phone with my insurance company for over 2 hours. This is primarily due to threats from the office manager at Miner Dental; she told me that she told the insurance company I was no longer in treatment which would stop payments from the insurance company. The insurance company denied having a record of this conversation. All of this sounds insane, but it's true; I do not know why they would try to get the insurance company to stop payments. When I heard what Niki and Miner Dental were trying to do, I asked them why the f*** they would do this (I was so caught off guard that it just slipped out). To which I got cussed out and threatened by the office manager over the phone. During that call, she told me she did it to force me to pay for it out of pocket. I did cuss at first, but the office manager took it to a new level. I received assurances from my insurance company that they would pay out the remaining balance. My insurance company also helped me understand why Miner Dental thinks I owe them money. After balancing out my account, it turns out I had a procedure in Jan of 2022 that they never notified me that I owed them. Which I find interesting because every time I'm in the office, I always ask if there are any other balances I need to cover. I did call and permitted them to take out the unpaid balance right after hanging up with my insurance company. Well, I finally spoke with Dr. Miner, to which he didn't know of the missing checks. Before that conversation with him, the office manager told me he had already listened to the recorded call, so I didn't bring up her language to see if he did, which he did not. It tells me either he condones her actions or the phones aren't recorded, and it was yet another lie from Niki. He told me he would call me back after digging into my account, but he never did. Due to the situation and because of the harassment, threats, and poor professionalism, my family of 4 will no longer be using this office. I'm unsure if this situation was caused by fraud or sheer incompetence. The insurance company still has 4 payments, so hopefully, this ends here.... The office went downhill after COVID. This is honestly too bad. I hate finding new doctors to trust. Old Review: My entire family goes to Dr. Miner. He is an amazing person, and his staff is fantastic. I cannot recommend him enough.

After another dentist in SA left me with a botched filling, I needed either a root canal or extraction and implant. Since I'm a baby and want as little work as possible, I chose the extraction and implant, since they have a much greater longevity than root canals. I showed up to his office in agony, wanting nothing more than for someone to lop my jaw off. Dr Wert informed me that due to the bad filling, I had infection and he didn't want to cause me more pain by operating on an infected mess (my words, not his). I was sent home with a great supply of pain meds, antibiotics, and valium for my dental fear to take on the procedure date. When I returned for my appointment, I was ushered into a warm procedure room, given a cozy, plush blanket, and they made sure I had music to help me zone out. This was the first dental experience I've had where they truly made sure I was comfortable, with my surroundings and the pain factor. I can honestly say the actual procedure didn't hurt one bit. With each follow up appointment, Dr Wert continued to show great chair side manner, making sure I was pleased with the results and that I wasn't in any pain at all.

They are really on the ball. The receptionist gave me some flack for arriving on time for my consultation instead of coming early. I will admit, they had asked me to come early, but I simply couldn't make it. No need for browbeating me over it. As far as the comment about charging $198 for an x-ray, it's true, but you should know your insurance coverage going in. Insurance companies aren't going to cover x-rays at the surgeon when you should have gotten them from your primary dentist beforehand. The $198 is an avoidable cost if you understand your insurance coverage. Dr Wert and his team provide 5 star service. Only giving 4 stars because, one, the dentist chair is worn with old cushioning. Don't need my arse aching while my teeth are being drilled and yanked at, and, two, they never called to follow up after the procedure which is a very common practice.
