    Dr Makowski has a wonderful office and is very experienced. He has been my dentist for 30 years! I highly recommend him.

Thorough cleaning from our dental hygienists over the years. Everyone was always kind, helpful and went above and beyond to make sure every dental visit was a good one. Highly recommend

Now, you can't get an appointment scheduled (until speaking to Dr. Meyer; the office staff would call me 15- 1hr before the opening to see if I wanted that slot, it takes me 45 mins. to drive there because I used to love this office and it used to be worth the drive/time) After my complaint to Dr. Meyer, she scheduled me at her earliest appt. 3.5 mos. out... My wife just drove to her office for her appointment, she was 8 mins. late (again driving all the way across metro Denver) 8 mins late. The office staff said she would have to check with the hygenist. The hygenist comes out and says, " I am SO SORRY. we gave your appointment away awhile ago since you never confirmed the appointment". So, what is it? Did you give the appointment away and the office manager was clueless to this and didn't say anything on the phone or you didn't want to do the job. It truly pains me to leave this review as I love Dr. Meyer, her pups, and family. I understand that after talking to Dr. Meyer that there are staffing issues that need to be worked out. Unfortunately it is time to find a new Office. I just can not anymore.

    I have been a patient at Lowry Main Street Dental for approximately eight years and, until this…read moreweek, had never experienced a problem significant enough to warrant a complaint. Unfortunately, this experience has led me to find a new dentist. I went in for a routine cleaning and noticed that the hygienist spent most of the appointment cleaning the right side of my mouth. When she began polishing my teeth, I stopped her and asked whether she had cleaned the left side. She appeared unsure, then quickly cleaned part of the upper left side, but the lower left side was never addressed. The appointment continued with polishing, flossing, and fluoride treatment. After the fluoride wore off later that day, the difference was obvious. The right side felt thoroughly cleaned, while the left side--especially the lower left--did not. I called the office the same day and explained what had happened. I made it clear that I did not think it was intentional and simply wanted the missed area cleaned. The receptionist was kind and scheduled me for the following morning with a different hygienist, whom I had seen before and liked. Unfortunately, the follow-up appointment is why I am leaving. Instead of simply addressing my concern, the hygienist questioned what had happened and why I had not spoken up sooner, despite the fact that I had raised the issue during the original appointment and called immediately afterward. She also suggested that I would be charged for the additional cleaning, which I found surprising since I was only asking for a service I believed had not been completed. At one point, she reclined the chair, scraped my teeth, and pointed out that she was not finding plaque buildup. This made me feel as though I needed to prove that my concern was legitimate. She also told me she was going to document the situation in my chart because she was concerned I might not be satisfied with future cleanings. As someone who had been a patient for eight years without ever making a complaint, this felt unfair and unnecessarily defensive. The entire interaction left me feeling as though I was being treated like I was trying to get something for free or take advantage of the office, rather than a long-time patient with a reasonable concern. Instead of feeling heard, I felt dismissed and questioned to the point that I was nearly in tears. Mistakes happen, and I would have completely understood if the office had simply acknowledged the concern and corrected it. The missed cleaning is not why I am leaving. The lack of professionalism and customer service in handling the situation is. I have also noticed significant turnover among both the dentists and hygienists over the years, which has also been a concern for me. After eight years as a patient, I will not be returning.

    Worst customer service I've had at a dentist office. I had a billing issue drag on for 6 MONTHS…read morebecause the company they use for billing takes WEEKS to follow up with you. WEEKS. They billed my insurance in a way that looks like they double-billed me for the exact same procedure - so of course insurance won't cover the same thing twice. (Billed for "upper" and "lower" retainers but they don't specify these differences when billing insurance - they just send over two retainer charges to insurance.) And now I have an extra balance with Lowry that should be covered by insurance. I went around-and-around with my insurance and Lowry Main Street Dental for months and Lowry basically told me I'm screwed and they won't do anything to rectify the situation - they refused to bill my insurance in a manner that makes it clear that the charges were not duplicates. And when I explain this to the receptionist (man), he was rather snotty and said they won't adjust their processes "just because I want them to"...like this is all just my idea, not what insurance has instructed me to tell them. It's pretty sad when the insurance company is trying to work with you and the dentist office is not. Done with this place. Lawrence (hygienist) is the only redeeming aspect of this place. Be warned.

    While the staff are EXCELLENT and I got amazing initial care, I dug a little & found out Modern…read moreDentistry is run by a private equity firm/dental service organization (DSO) called Pacific Dental (https://whoownsmydentists.com/location/lowry-modern-dentistry-denver-co). I have no doubt after my last visit where I was charged over $500 for cleaning, laser and antibiotics ($88 of which was "education" on how to brush and floss). These private equity DSOs are fleecing organizations. They push over-treatment, unnecessary treatment and monthly profit goals on their offices. I always got the best care at Lowry and the staff really do care, but I will not be a cash cow for corporate greed. My bi-annual cleaning became quarterly and each time I went in my gums (reportedly) were actually getting worse. I feel now that they were pressured to get me in more and get more procedures on me. They did a very professional job and are very talented. I definitely would have continued to go there but I no longer trust them or feel they have my best interests at heart. No fault to the amazing staff, just the corporation that's ruining their practice by choosing greed over humanity.

    Corporate dentistry is awful. I live walking distance to Lowry Dentistry and was excited when they…read moremoved to the neighborhood, as my insurance was no longer accepted to my other dentist. However, the high staff turnover does not provide quality service. I had migraines last year and had to cancel several times for my regular cleaning. A family dentist would normally call you back to reschedule. Lowry Modern did not. Now I have an expensive root canal procedure and a gum procedure. My daughter received her cleaning 2 days later and was given the same diagnosis. A bit suspicious. My guess: additional unnecessary procedures to make money. This dentist's office does not do laughing gas, so I have to go outside to another endodontist. I've tried three times to get my information sent to another office with no success. The front desk staff doesn't even know basic administrative procedures. The dentists were good, but everything else is a mess. Stay away.
