I just had some involved dental surgery with Dr. Tepe and his assistant, Hannah, and I'm very happy…read morewith all the care and expertise that Dr. Tepe and his entire team presented! Their knowledge, skill, attentiveness, and caring attitude went above and beyond what one would normally expect. Everyone from the front desk to the X-ray dept., to Dr. Tepe and Hannah made the entire experience a very positive encounter. And one last positive, their fees are VERY reasonable compared to other dentists I've used in the past.

He has been able…read moreto successfully deal with the very different special needs of my autistic niece and my 95 year old father. My father had a bad abscess and not only did they manage to fit him into their crowded schedule immediately, the doctor called the house later to follow up on how he was doing! The entire staff is excellent. They listen to your needs and work with in terms of scheduling and payment. I particularly like them because they listen to input from the patient. I had some gum disease, but I wished to try to handle it through rigorous self care. They were willing to work with my in this way (although somewhat sceptical) and the results have been successful. I can highly recommend this practice. They are EXCELLENT!

I would like to thank Dr. Linscott and his staff for all that they have done for me. I woke in the…read moremiddle of the night on Thursday with a toothache that was incredible, I called their office at 8am and was in the chair for a root canal by 9:15 the same day! The front office re-arranged clients and did everything they could to get me in as fast as possible. Dr. Linscott is the most caring dentist I have been to in the 60 years that I can remember and I will give his name to anyone that is in need of a fantastic dentist that really cares for his patients.

Dr. Linscott is one of the best overall and gentlest dentists of whom I've been a patient. My…read moreintroduction to Dr. Linscott's practice came as result of a severe root canal infection. I experienced a very sudden onset and rapid escalation of oral pain beginning on a Friday evening which necessitated emergency treatment the next Monday. Dr. Linscott was the only dentist in Athens whom would take me on such short notice. He rescheduled appointments and saw me two hours after I first called. The centrality of his office on Court Street makes him even more accessible to patients. Dr. Linscott treated me successfully to resolution of my case via root canal procedure. In treating me, Dr. Linscott could not have been gentler; in fact decidedly not treating the root canal immediately but first prescribing a strong oral antibiotic to reduce the infection before starting treatment. In my time since as his patient, he has continued to offer the best and gentlest treatment possible. Dr. Linscott's staff are collectively very professional and loyal. His office isn't fancy, but it is clear he remains current on emerging topics and his office is clean, well managed, and has all the tools and talent necessary to do a most effective job. Dr. Linscott remains my dentist today and will remain so, despite my pending relocation to Minnesota.

Dr. Roger D. Winland is the reason I'm petrified of dentists…read more Work he's done to me: regular cleanings/check-ups, braces/retainers, wisdom tooth removal surgery. Years I went to his office for work: 12. Let's start with the office itself. Mind you, it's been a few years since I was there; maybe it changed. I kinda doubt it. Dr. Winland likes to go on safari and murder animals. He then likes to have the animals stuffed and mounted all over his office. Do you have any idea what it's like to be seven years old and staring down some poor creature's head while you're having your teeth cleaned? Stuff of nightmares, that. Then there are his dental hygienists. They're all awful. Rough, mean, distracted while they work - you name it. I went in for cleanings every six months from the age of, what, five or six, until the age of 17 when I changed dentists, yet every time I went in I'd come out with my gums bleeding and sore. Time spent with the actual dentist after each cleaning: approximately 30 seconds. Which is fine - that seems to be how dentists roll if you have nice teeth. Which brings me to my next complaint: This guy's attitude is awful. AWFUL. I remember he'd never let my parents come in with me while I was getting my teeth cleaned, and that was scary for me when I was a little kid. Then, when I was getting into my teens, he informed me that my gums bleeding was a sign of gingivitis, and if I didn't "brush until your gums bleed, all your teeth will fall out by the time you're thirty." I'm 28 now. I've never had a single cavity. My gums are fine. The problem with them turns out to be his dental hygienists - what qualified dentist can't tell the difference between gingivitis and gums that've been ripped up by some crazy lady with a sharp tool??? So there was that. My teeth were never good enough for him, never clean enough, never white enough. I have perfect teeth, y'all. Never had a complaint from any of my other dentists. Just this guy. Mostly because he's a horrid man. Braces - he did them too fast, rendering me unable to sleep or chew because of the godawful pain in my skull. Took them off too fast and gave me a crappy retainer that broke after two weeks, didn't fix the retainer, my teeth went right back to how they were before the whole ordeal started. Whatever, my teeth are fairly straight. Didn't need all the braces work anyway, but he certainly made a pretty penny off it. The worst, though, was my wisdom tooth surgery. First, they didn't weigh me. I weighed in at 101lbs at the age of 17. On my chart, they wrote down that I weighed 125. The crap they injected into my arm knocked me right on out. Only it kept me out, too, so when it was time for me to go, I didn't wake up. Well, jeez, what a pain that was for them! They brought me 'round with smelling salts, then the nurse (wish I could remember her name - she was British and evil, oh so evil) told me to stand up. Funny thing about that - I couldn't feel my legs. She pulled me around to stand up anyway, and when I refused to stand, she grabbed me 'round the elbow (where they'd injected me not an hour earlier) and YANKED on me, bringing me upright onto legs I still couldn't feel. I had a hand-shaped bruise on my arm for nearly a week from that. Plus, I ended up in the floor, groggy and ill and crying. The nurse's response? Told me to shut up because I would upset the kids in the waiting room. Fortunately, my mom came in around that point and collected me, took me out to the car. When I came back to have my stitches out, Dr. Winland made fun of me for "making a scene" after my surgery (apparently you're not allowed to be upset when you're drugged and getting manhandled). Two things followed the surgery: 1) My tongue was numb on the entire righthand side. Completely numb. It's been 11 years since the surgery. I've never regained feeling in my tongue. 2) Dr. Winland removed my stitches. Two weeks later, I was experiencing serious pain in my gums, so I went back to find out what the heck was going on. Dr. Winland wasn't there, so I got to deal with the intern. The intern poked around and said, "What on earth, you still have a suture in here! He left. A suture. In my face. A suture he /missed/ while he was removing them. What. The. FFFFFFF-- That was the last time I went to Winland. Oh, also, when I told my sister (who also had her wisdom teeth unceremoniously yanked out of her head by Winland) about the suture, she went all wide-eyed because she'd been experiencing pain in her mouth since her surgery (some 3 years prior) and decided to finally have it checked out. Disgustingly, it was the same problem - she had a missed suture in the same place I had one, only hers had to be cut out because it had been so many years. Yeah. YEAH. I don't recommend anyone go see this guy for anything. He's a jerk and a quack and will damage you in some way, shape, or form, guaranteed.

I've been seeing Dr. Winland 18 YEARS and I have always been completely satisfied with his work…read more I've experienced cleanings from his capable hygenists, followed by spot checks from Dr. Winland. Also multiple cavities drilled and filled in my younger years. I went to another dentist once, while living out of town. THE OTHER DENTIST was one of the worst experiences in my life (only few cavities)! From then on I made sure to schedule an appointment with Winland's office whenever I came back to Athens! Unlike the previous reviewer, as an 8 yr old child I was amazed and fascinated by the massive collection of exotic creatures in the reception area! (Though as an adult, I find trophy hunting very sad). Gratefully, the office no longer has the display. I've been back in Athens for a decade now and continue to see Dr. Winland.
