I think the first thing that comes to mind when people are looking for a dentist is how they are treated when they walk through the door. My experience with the Esteem Dental team has been outstanding. They know who I am, and they are always friendly, welcoming, and helpful. I am no stranger to dental work, so my experiences have not always been pleasant. Dr. Lynch changed all that, and he certainly changed my smile. His care and concern were evident from my very first consultation through my most recent cleaning. I will admit that I have had my share of fear when it comes to going to the dentist, but that fear has been completely alleviated by the experiences I have had in this office. I feel comfortable, cared for, and confident that I am in good hands. I cannot imagine recommending another dental office or team more highly than Estem Dental in McKinney. If you are looking for a dental team that genuinely cares about its patients, I highly recommend Dr. Lynch and the entire Esteem Dental team at McKinney Dentist. I can highly recommend them for you and your entire family. After more than 15 years with her dentist, my bride has been converted. I only wish I would have found them and Dr. Lynch much much‼ read more

Went in for a cleaning and exam as a new patient. Front desk was rude and kept smacking her gum. Was told by the dental hygienist (not a dentist) that none of my teeth are salvageable. She started pushing some kind of permanent dentures that cost $40,000 PER ARCH. It seemed like she was desperate to sell these, so I imagine she gets some sort of commission or kickback. I didn't see a dentist until the last thirty seconds and he barely spoke to me. I didn't get the cleaning or exam that I went in for. Went to a new dentist, and she is currently working on repairing my teeth with fillings and a couple of crowns. Turns out, ALMOST ALL of my teeth are salvageable. Glad I got a second opinion! read more

Dental care is rated "Good". Weakest part of this practice is the administrative group that handles patients checking out after dental service. When checking out after dental service, the administrative person usually over-collects from the patient what is really due after dental insurance pays. This results in the patient overpaying and leaving a credit on your account. It happens so frequently and the over-collecting is always in favor of McKinneyDentist.com. The administrative group can not be trusted to handle the actual check out process accurately. read more

They are so nice every time I come here. I recently got my wisdom teeth taken out here and they made me feel very comfortable. Very professional and always have their stuff together! Office is super nice as well and love coming here when it's time for my dental checkup. 10/10 read more

Intially went to McKInney dentist for an implant estimate. Instead ended up with a couple of teeth extractions. They removed two teeth charged us over $800.00 total. Our part was $355 and the insurance covered the rest. Left part of one of the teeth inside my mouth and then sent us an addtional invoice for almost another $200. (Which we refused to pay). Now they have sent the bill to a third-party collections company. Funny thing is I never received an estimate for the implants which was the reason of going to Mckinney Dentist in the first place. Strongly advise to STAY away! Don't write many negative reviews unless they deserve it. read more

Nice friendly staff but poor dental work. Everything I've had done here has had new issues developed because of poor quality of work. Especially for being such an expensive place, I should not being going back so often to get work done fixed and looked at again and again. Everyone in my family has had this same experience. They're also very pushy on other procedures that you don't need so it helps a lot to get a second opinion read more

Worst place I have been to, "warning!" There is a reason why 'mckinney dentist 'are low rated only three stars and declining in our community of McKinney tx. to returning or new customers. If you could give a negative review I would. Take your hard earned money elsewhere. This is a far from a professional establishment. Shady practices, run down exams room, less then honest heath care service sales representatives. If you have an enemy, then you should recommend them to come here. No friends or family members of mine will ever step foot in this blasphemous building. read more

I switched to McKinney Dentist after my husband starting going and have never looked back. The quality of care every single person that works there provides is nothing like anywhere else. The team of doctors started this practice with a purpose and a passion to help and they each have their own gifts. The front office staff greet you kindly and are glad to be there and the back office try and make your visits as comfortable as possible. Over the years my teeth have changed a lot due to cancer treatments and autoimmune disease that most recently underwent a Total Smile Redo. This came with its own challenges that I would say were my own reaction's and shock to my mouth and Dr. Berlin has been nothing but attentive to all my needs to getting me better so I can go back to enjoying life and smiling big! This is a home you want if you are in the market for a Top Notch Practice- The Best of The Best !!! read more

Having been new to the area and having left my dentist of 30 years, it was important to me to find a reliable replacement. An acquaintance suggested this company. My first appointment went well, however, when asked if I "grind my teeth" and saying that I probably did, I was immediately told I needed a $700 mouth guard. Next stop was the "dental plan/finance" desk and I fell for it. I should have said that I wanted to wait and think about it as well as check if we had the money to pay for it but I didn't. I signed the paperwork and they did it at that moment. This was the first time this was ever suggested to me ever. When I picked up the device I was given a bleaching kit as a bonus gift. I went back one more time 6 months later and had a different hygienist. She told me I would probably have to have several crowns replaced, a possible root canal and wisdom teeth removed. The dentist who examined me was only concerned about my older crowns even though I have had zero issues with them. Again, leaving the office we were asked to set up a treatment plan. I didn't give it a second thought this time and just kept on walking. We found another highly recommended family owned dental office with equally updated equipment and a smaller, more intimate staff nearby. None of the issues above were mentioned in my visits to the new practice and have had no issues detected over the last year with them. My perception of McK Dentist is that they are very friendly, the cookies and coffee are a nice touch, the office is clean and spacious but one should beware of possible upselling via a very quick push for a dental plan and subsequent appointment(s). read more

2.8 stars is NOT accurate. This must be a yelp fluke! This place is incredible. I am 38 now and first started coming here when I was in high school. I mostly come here for periodontal root/plane & scraping/maintenance (which they're awesome at btw). I went to a handful of places in between & NO other dental office has come close. Also, free nitrous oxide...if you have anxiety--it makes going to the dentist a real treat. Today, came in for something I was sure was a cavity....saw Shayla (dental assist, I believe I'm getting her name right). Shayla was kind, genuine, good energy & communicated with me in a way I really need/appreciate....she also listened to me (which can be rare for the amt of info exchanged). Dr. Morkos....blew it out of the water. Knowledgeable, highly skilled, efficient & fast to boot--add friendiness + good energy & you have a recipe for quite possible the most perfect dentist I've seen. I do not dole out compliments all willy-nilly either. 500 stars today-seriously Also...love the staff who is always friendly....major shout out to Michelle (admins area) who is just a joy & bright light to be around everytime I see her. You all are helping me get be the healthiest, during major events happening in my life--where I have to be on my A-game. You'll never know how much is means to feel listened to, cared for & valued-especially how well I was cared for today. If you don't have a regular dentist office....LOOK NO FURTHER. Also, they kick butt at implants....my mom had hers here & she's EVEN pickier than me! read more

I agree with another reviewer that 2.8 is a YELP Fluke they deserve 5+. Plus people must be mistaken McKinney Dentist with another dental facility. My daughter and I have been going to McKinney Dentist for years now. I have NEVER had 1 complaint against them. From the moment you walk in you are greeted with a smile; you receive service with genuine care and compassion. Vicki is remarkable! She gets 5 stars too! She recalls your last conversation about your family even if 6 months has passed by. My original dentist was Dr. Markham. He was the BEST! Now I see Dr. Madden and he is great too! It is very rare to find a medical office that has top notch service from the time you walk in the door until you leave your appointment. Friendly staff! They have CareCredit so if you qualify then making payments at zero% interest helps too. read more

McKinney dentists are the absolute best. I have been overdue for a cleaning, and was able to find a slot on a busy Saturday. I met with Dr. Morkos and his team who are the kindest and most skilled dental staff I have known. Vicky did my cleaning and was thorough. She even recognized that I have been grinding my teeth and got me setup with a mouthguard at night. If you need dental work near Dallas, TX, you have to come to McKinneydentist.com read more

They treat you like a $ figure. That is all they want. Care is ok just not very personal. They are just wanting your money.

My son and I have been going to McKinney Dentist since around 2010. When they were much, much smaller. Now that they have grown into a much bigger practice, the service is dismal, which is unfortunate, because I absolutely LOVED our dental hygienist Cynthia. She has always been AMAZING!!!! I recently requested a transfer of all of our dental records, X-rays, scans, etc. of dental work and surgeries for our family, and was refused. In addition, they don't except insurance for anesthesiology, which is a financial NIGHTMARE for any type of dental surgery. I no longer recommend them to anyone. Instead of focusing on growing into a bigger practice for more money, maybe consider the thoughtfulness and care that you used to give to your original patients. read more

after my regular hygenist left, i tried to make an appointment with the hygenist that worked with mine, and knew my case really well. a few days before my appnt, the ofc called to ask me to r/s my appnt bc i could not see the hygenist that knew my case, that she would not be seeing me going forward, and that the cleanings would now be 200. this and each time going forward, even though being covered under bcbs dental insurance with cleanings being covered as twice a year maintenence, then i was told if i did not come to my appnt then my warrenty would be voided. no thank you!! i do not reccomend this place ..... shady shady shady money practices!!! read more

They are an amazing office. I love my hygienist Julie , she is gentle and does a great job! I have never felt so comfortable... . I also love my Dr. As well . read more

Before anything i did my research called this office and made sure they accepted Veteran patients they said yes just needed the referral. Fast forward i finally got my referral they scheduled me did my first appointment consultation, said they needed another referral for approval of treatment. I called this week twice. First they said they did not receive it, three days laters they tell me they will not be scheduling VA patients anymore because the VA has not paid them. But my issue is if they knew the VA has not been paying them why schedule me in the first place. I am in such a big pain from my tooth because it broke just to be told i will not be seen like seriously a month later you tell me i am in terrible pain all day now when i could've searched a different dental clinic and had it taken care of. read more

Thank you Dr. Berlin for giving me the most beautiful smile. I came to Dr. Berlin wanting a smile makeover before my daughter's wedding. Dr. Berlin and his staff worked within my three week time frame to get my smile makeover done. I am so excited about my new smile and now I'm looking forward two my daughter's wedding with a big bright smile on my face. I cannot say enough about the staff and how professional and friendly they were to me. This practice has gone above and beyond and over delivered on every aspect of my appointments and procedures. Thank you Dr. Berlin and staff. Look at my amazing results!!! read more

Dr. Morkos performed my tooth extraction, bone grafting, and dental implant. He is competent, knowledgeable, witty sense of humor/character, kind, and keen detail to patient's individualized needs. Dr. Morkos and his team were phenomenal - I highly recommend him. I also want to provide an endorsement for Mary B. at McKinney Dentist. Mary's family of origin involves professionals specializing in dentistry - She has been in practice as a dental hygienist for over four decades. Mary is competent, professional, tender, and carries a compassionate and jovial heart/spirit! Her smile brightens every room (along with mine). I feel very safe and secure under her treatment and care! Highly recommend Mary B. for your dental care and needs. read more

I have been seeing the dentists at MckinneyDentist.com since I moved to McKinney in 2013. Vicky is my hygienist. She is the very best. The entire staff is very friendly. The dentist take the time to explain any needed procedures and to let you know what your options are. They will also provide you a printout with your estimated payment portion of the procedure (always follow-up with your dental insurer and get a written estimate to be sure). They pay attention to detail and always are willing to talk if you have any questions. I always have a cup of their coffee or tea plus one of their cookies when I leave. read more

Vivian did a great job cleaning my teeth and there were good vibes - very high tech at this practice - glad to have found this dentist! Dr. Calliston is in the process of fitting me with a nightguard/retainer for TMJ and teeth grinding and to hold my teeth in place. read more

Dr. Lynch and the incomparable Toni Mayfield Hall, RDA, are exceedingly diligent, always helpful, and provide an altogether exceptional service across the board. Apart from that, they have an all around awesome staff and a super comfortable, accommodating office. Wouldn't dream of going anywhere else! Extra special shout out to Toni for being an absolute Rockstar, and so genuine and kind besides. read more

I can not say enough good things about this office. I have been going here for many years and each year the service seems to increase. Everyone I interact with is super friendly, always willing to spend time to explain what is happening and gives that warm family feeling. This office continues to work hard to keep my teeth as healthy as possible. If you care about an exceptional personal experience for dental care, you will not be disappointed with this group. read more

This practice is horrible. First, I went in to see them for a chipped front tooth. During my exam, Dr Markham told me that I needed to replace both front teeth. I agreed. Dr. Markham injected a new numbing agent Into my upper gum. During the numbing period, someone from the front office came in to explained my payment options! Really?? And demand that I pay them on the spot. They couldn't even wait till I was out of the damn chair!! Alright here is the juicy part. After the procedure, I had a reaction to the new novocaine. My lips stayed numb for hours then days after the procedure. My top lip became so swollen, it almost split open. I looked like a duck. I had to call Dr. Markham. This went on from Saturday till Monday. He had to call another doctor to see me on Monday to address this issue. This practice is only concerned about getting paid. I would NEVER recommend this dental office. read more

For starters, getting an appointment at one of their locations that is convenient to you is tough. They have a couple different office locations and at one appointment they might send you to one - then at the next appointment they send you to a different one. And I'm glad to know I must have paid for half of their new office building. My husband went for a cleaning and check up. Nearly $1K later - several x-rays and consultations later - he finally got a cleaning. Wow was that expensive. They really pushed for all the bells and whistles: implants which were quoted to be $11K AFTER INSURANCE. I think they mistook us for the Trump family. Will we go back? Heck no. Even with Dental Insurance we cannot afford this mob. Felt like I had been mugged without a gun. Do they do good work? We wouldn't know. We were too annoyed and ashamed at our substandard teeth to want to go back to shiny-perfect-teeth-ville. If you're a regular person with less than perfect teeth - find another dentist. read more

Gave one star as the Hygienist was nice and gentle. However how do 3 family members have exactly the same number of cavities? We came in on a special and were never charged the special pricing. My wife had 3 cavities replaced and is still having issues with hot cold sensitivity. Claimed we needed a ton of work that insurance wont cover and we are not the Trumps either. Now looking for someone more honest.... read more

I'm scared to death going to the dentist. All the grinding and prying and everything in your mouth makes me so anxious. BUT Charity, the hygienist makes for a very nice visit every time. She is very gentle and sensitive to my needs. The reason why three stars is it's very expensive to get any kind of extensive dental work done here. Shop around and you'll see for yourself. The staff is so friendly. read more

Was in the lobby while the front desk woman pretended to be the manager and completely insulted a man who did nothing to deserve it. He was trying to figure out why they cancelled his wife's appointment. They called the cops on him too! This was appalling to witness. What a completely unprofessional establishment. Do yourself a favor and stay away! read more

You really never know what kind of place you're going to walk into. There's so many choices and level of expertise out there. Believe me I've had some memorable experiences, ones that I wish I could forget. Today I found a new dental practitioner. Not only because I felt Dr Berlin was amazing and made me feel 100% comfortable. It was because his team was great too! They all made me feel welcomed, explained each step to me, and walked me through my next steps. If you're looking for a dentist and a team of professionals, I'd highly recommend McKinney Dentist. read more

This place does a great job on your teeth. They know their stuff. The staff is nice and it's super easy to get in. They're open weekends and extended hours during the week. I gave them three stars (which equates to "A-OK" by the way) only because their prices are high, and because it can feel like you're in a car dealership with the hard-sell on extra procedures. They schedule in such a way that they always have time to do that extra ($$$$$) procedure that you might want to have done, RIGHT NOW. I'd love this place if they'd eliminate the high pressure, hard sell on their services. Sometimes a person just wants to have their teeth cleaned and not endure the upselling. It's actually kept me away for longer periods than I should, simply because I dread that part of the experience. But ... in their defense, it seems that all of the upscale Dallas dental offices are that way. There are more than a few of us who long for that old fashioned dentist office that just cares for your dental health and doesn't work so hard to upsell. I also wish that when I ask the cost of something, they'd just tell me and not immediately offer credit like I can't afford the procedure (it's kind of offensive). Just because I asked, doesn't mean I can't afford it -- it just means that I'd like to know. That's all. They're great at squeezing you in, and they back up their work. My hubby had a chip replaced, and a year or so later, it fell out. He went back in and they replaced it without a fuss. Overall a really good place to go if you can brush the hard sell aside (no pun intended). Okay, maybe a little ... :) read more

I went to get an assessment from Dr. Wood, and he wanted to do three root canals where only fillings and a crown were needed. He also tacked on several other items that he admitted were unnecessary. The quote he gave me was over $12,000. I went to Allen Dental Center (Dr. Wyatt) and he said root canals would not be necessary at all, and quoted me $3,000. Also, the hygienist at McKinney Dentist said my gums were in bad shape and wanted to charge about $1,000 for a cleaning. The hygienist at Allen Dental Center said my gums were healthy and charged less than $100. I was also treated like cattle at McKinney Dentist. No one was rude, but I certainly wasn't a valued customer. But at Allen Dental Center, everyone is genuinely friendly and helpful. Dr. Wyatt stayed and answered all of my questions and even came in on Saturday for me. I guess you can figure out where I chose to get my work done. Totally worth an extra 10 minutes to my drive. Heck, I'd fly to Timbuktu to have Allen Dental Center take care of me rather than the crooks at McKinney Dentist. read more

The staff was nice, no issues there. However, the prices are pretty outrageous and I would urge others to do research before getting work done there. I was quoted approximately 1700 for a crowning on one tooth, and although the associates were very eager to have the procedure done that same day, I declined and said I wanted to compare pricing. I called multiple dental offices and the prices were substantially lower, in fact one office quoted me 1,000! Even doing research online, I can see that the price was highly inflated. I advise others to do your research before settling for one dental office. read more

really wanted to love this practice. The staff are very kind, everyone has great bedside manner and professionalism. But after my experience today, I feel compelled to write this review to help educate others on how their healthcare expenses can be affected by the practices here. I need a crown. I've unfortunately had many, and am well aware that there are options. Stainless steel, different grades of porcelain, same day, etc. As a patient who is paying a large out of pocket charge for a crown, I am entitled to choose what I want based on my preferences and how much I am willing to pay. When I buy a car I choose how much to spend. I buy what I want based on what I CHOOSE to pay and how spending more or less money will affect other choices I make for my family. Unfortunately, when it comes to healthcare the rules are confusing and it's not always clear what options are available. And unfortunately, at this practice, they do not give you any options and if you aren't knowledgeable that other options exist, you could be out of pocket hundreds of dollars more than you might choose to spend if you knew you had other options. I was given one and only one option for a crown, at an out of pocket cost of $944. I requested the lowest cost option, and was told this was it - take it or leave it. I was very clear that I knew there were other options available such as stainless steel and wanted to see those options, and again was assured this is all they offer. So I left and went back to my prior dental practice and confirmed that yes, there were MANY other options, starting as low as $330 out of pocket. Next week I get my cheap crown. Maybe I'll be sorry, but I doubt it. Regardless, it is MY choice that I made with full knowledge that I could get a $330 crown OR a $944 crown. And I could get THREE crowns for the same price so unless it truly is so inferior that it lasts less than 1/3 as long, I'm still ahead in my book. I am not saying they were trying to cheat me, the crown they proposed is likely a good one and well may have cost $900 anywhere. They weren't misleading me about the out of pocket cost for that option. But I don't want the BMW crown, it's in the back of my mouth and I'm not interested in spending $600 extra. Just like I'm not forced to buy a BMW, I should not be forced (by a lack of options and information) into buying something that is not what I would choose if I had all the necessary information. It's MY decision whether to buy a top of the line crown or use the $600 for something else my family needs. If I didn't know any better, I would have agreed to a $944 crown. This practice of not giving patients any other options, in my opinion, is not acceptable. I'm sure LOTS of people just agree to pay that price and their family goes without other things they really need, but hey, they have a top of the line crown that no one will ever see but the dentist. There is NOTHING wrong with buying the top of the line crown if that matters to you. But you should not be forced into it because one dental practice tells you it's the only option. Dental work is important for overall health, and I have an issue with people being forced to pay more than they need to, or go without because they can't afford it. How many people have just walked away and not gotten NEEDED work done, because they thought it was $944 or nothing and they didn't have $944? That's not right. Is it really worse to have a cheap stainless steel crown than to let your teeth become more damaged because you can't afford the top of the line crown? I realize it's not the practice's job to make you aware of these things, but I also think it's wrong to use people's lack of knowledge against them, and in my opinion that is happening with this practice. This issue is bigger than just this dental practice, obviously. My other practice tries to upsell me all the time too but I've learned that they'll pony up the cheaper options when I push back. So please take the time to learn about your options for any dental care. And understand that this practice may not be offering you the lower cost options that are available. They can argue that this is the only crown they think is "good enough." And you can accept that professional recommendation if you choose. But it needs to be YOUR choice, not based on not knowing that other options may be available to you. You can call your insurer or look at the fee schedules online to know what else is available and what it will cost you out of pocket. Call other practices. Do your homework. And tell your friends - these practices won't change until we as patients educate ourselves and demand the information we need to make educated decisions about our healthcare costs. read more

I found them advertised in many local magazines...not thinking that they pay for those ads. I walked in their lobby & my jaw hit the floor! They have more designer furniture than I do! (And I totally admit that I'm a high maintenance girl). So, instantly I knew my credit card was gonna get a work out :( During my visits there, I was in a lot of pain that they didn't seem to care about. The billing was CRAZY. The dentist seemed more concerned about sharing his partying with celebrities, than me. The ONLY good thing I could say about that dentist is he is a bit of a silver fox. He maybe "easy on the eyes," but he's "hard on the mouth." NO THANK YOU!! Go to Custer Star Dental in Frisco instead. read more

The scene is Friday night at 7:00 and I am eating a frosted donut. Suddenly I bite down on something hard and realize one of my crowns has come off. I called the after hours answering service and told them the problem. In the span of 30 minutes I had calls from Dr. Callison, Dr. Madden, and Dr. Berlin. I saw Dr. Madden on Saturday and he re-glued the crown. This was wonderful and it adverted cancellation of a planned trip. Thank you gentlemen. That is why I am a customer of MckinneyDentist and have been since 2001. - Michael Green read more

My experience at McKinney Dentist has always been amazing from beginning to end. The front desk has always been very friendly and welcoming. I've been seeing Dr, Berlin for over 10 years; with chronic dental problems that stemmed from childhood issues, the only reason I have teeth in my head and a beautiful smile is because of Dr. Berlin. He is always up to date on the latest technologies and is very compassionate when dealing with me and my issues.They have always made me feel comfortable and safe in the office even through scary procedures, I always feel like I am in the best of hands. At times, I've had dental emergencies and they have seen me in a very timely manner. If you're looking for a state-of-the-art dental facility with an extraordinary dentitst and staff..go see Dr. Berlin at Mckinney Dentist. read more

My wife went here for a checkup last week and they said she had a root canal, tried to charge us $1700 after insurance and she is double covered!! I would recommend going to Eldorado Dental they were fast and nice, gave her x rays for free and only needed a filling. Went to Eldorado dental and only paid $11 read more

If you are very wealthy and have money to blow or have perfect teeth, they are alright. Just alright. But they will not hesitate to rob your wallet for almost any procedure. They quoted me for a root canal with insurance $3000! But with other dentist, it will cost only $500. Do yourself a favor and donate ur money to other dentists then this practices ski vacations. read more

This is an update to my review. I keep my teeth VERY clean. No periodontal disease. Funny thing happened recently when I got x-rays. Only the partials they put on my teeth (instead of crowns) now have cavities. Also, the crown they did put in fell out. The tooth that they messed up will need an implant. Still saving up for THAT disaster they caused. They MUST be changing their info on Yelp because just now when I updated my review- it said I was "first" to review. They are crooks and you will be sorry! Stay away! read more

****** THESE GUYS ARE CROOKS AND SHOULD GO TO JAIL******* I have seen the same dentist for 30 years and he just recently retired. I went for a regular cleaning and check up.

Why even have insurance if these are the prices?
