I went to Dr. Shivelys' office first thing this morning, and had my teeth cleaned, X-rays taken,…read moreconsultation, etc. Just a run of the mill dental appointment in my calendar. And all I can say now at the end of my work day is I'm still thinking about how excellent that appointment made me feel. First things first, every staff member I've interacted with since I've been coming here has had impeccable smiles. My gosh, I can almost see Christinas' teeth from outside the door, (Which says more than you think, if you know what the door looks like). This tells me they take pride in what they do everyday. From a patients POV, there's no better feeling I could hope for after waking up for my dental appointment at 6am...the sooner I feel good about how my day is gonna go, the better. & trust me they waste no time making you feel welcome. It took all of two minutes to get to the back, (wow), get seated, and have Dania start my X-rays. She was also my hygienist today so that also made things convenient. I spent the majority of my time with her today, and as always another member of Dr, Shivelys staff shined brightly into my mouth and performed impeccably. She even told me she was new, and had she not said that, I wouldn't have noticed. She was very informative, very personable, and maybe...just maybe, passionate about her line of work. I joke, but the truth is that's not an attitude I can expect to be expressed or shared amongst most medical professionals...or anyone I know for that matter. So thank you Dania, It made my day. Next up, the man himself walks in, does his thing with my teeth and goes over treatment with me. Right to the point. Fully honest and specific to me. I mean it's hard to put any other way than by saying he gives me exactly what I want from a dental practitioner. A true professional who exceeds my expectations. Thank you as well sir. You have made life easier. Hopefully this man never leaves his practice, because he's good, he's quick, and has an excellent staff with flawless smiles. I love that!! To be honest, if I move to Alaska for some crazy reason, I'm still coming back here. Even if it's just for my 8am check up. Thank you all and I'll see you soon.

I came here a few years ago because i really needed a dentist. The girl who cleaned he "tartar"…read morefrom my teeth was wonderful. the experiences with everyone else was meh. like they bombarded me with "pick a membership" for their dentistry. They take me up front and i had been giving a price for the exam i was getting, then overcharged me for it, and they asked again what "membership" (idk if that was the exact word they used tbh, it was a pay monthly thing) anyway, i told them i'd pay monthly and the front desk lady went and got 2 more ladies just to tell me that i couldnt pay in cash for pay monthly and that i'd have to pay the whole thing up front, me being a kid at that time didnt know what to do so i gave them my money and never went back. I feel like i was taken advantage of, it being my first time at the dentist alone and them giving me false prices, and apparently not taking debit cards.

In searching high and low for an endodontist for our 12-year old, we ended up taking the referral…read morefrom our dentist and came here, even though our insurance coverage deemed it out of network. This is HANDS DOWN a great place with personable and professional doctors and assistants! I'd choose this place any day over AOMS. Here you are not just a number. Dr. Douthitt was extremely personable, very kind, and truly took interest in our 12-year old. He also set our kids at ease with this procedure, which was kinda a big deal in our world. (It took us by surprise!) But he was very reassuring and had great "bedside manner." The office staff and dental assistants were equally amiable. I'm thankful we were told to come here, because although I made many phone calls and had several referrals to other offices--- this one is by far the best! I recommend this place, please keep in mind-- the costs are not exorbitant but the service is OUTSTANDING! WOW! Thanks again for treating our 12-year-old so well! I repeat, the consultation cost was about half of what AOMS quoted me!

I have intentionally waited over a year to write this review because I wanted it to reflect my…read moreentire experience and not a reaction to one bad appointment. Unfortunately, after more than 14 months of treatment, I can honestly say this has been one of the most frustrating healthcare experiences I have ever had. My biggest issue with Dr. T was the complete lack of communication, lack of empathy, and lack of a clear treatment plan. From the beginning, I repeatedly asked what the plan was, what the timeline looked like, what the next steps were, and what I should be preparing for. I rarely received direct answers. Instead, I often left appointments more confused, stressed, and frustrated than when I arrived. There were multiple times I left in tears because I could not get straightforward information about what was happening with my own treatment. The tooth involved was in a highly visible area. From day one, I made it very clear that I was not willing to be without a visible tooth. I am a mother of multiple young children, and I repeatedly explained my concerns. At one point during my pregnancy, my understanding was that the recommendation would leave me without a visible tooth through delivery and postpartum recovery. That was unacceptable to me, and i made that clear. Part of the treatment delay was later blamed on my pregnancy despite my OB providing clearance for necessary dental treatment. To this day, I still do not feel I was given a clear explanation for many of the delays that occurred. One of the most frustrating aspects of this entire process was the constant lack of direction. At nearly every appointment, I asked what came next. I specifically asked multiple times when I needed to have a dentist selected to complete the restorative portion of my implant. I was told not to worry about it because we were not at that stage. Later, I was questioned about why I did not already have a dentist selected because it should have been done by now. That type of conflicting information was a recurring theme throughout my treatment. I also requested on two separate occasions that my records and imaging be shared with other dental professionals so I could obtain additional opinions and better understand my options before moving forward with such a significant procedure. Those requests were discouraged. As a patient, I should never have felt discouraged from seeking additional information or outside opinions. From the beginning, I questioned whether the treatment path being recommended was truly my only option. Because I was unable to get the collaboration and guidance I was asking for, I never felt confident that all alternatives had been fully explored or explained. When the implant was placed, I was also not properly informed about what recovery would look like. The amount of facial swelling I experienced was shocking. Had I been properly prepared, I would have known what to expect. Instead, when I raised concerns, I felt like the assumption was immediately that I had somehow failed to follow instructions rather than my concerns being taken seriously. There were also multiple interactions that I found unprofessional. I witnessed staff members being spoken to in a way that came across as dismissive and condescending. Respect should apply to everyone in an office, regardless of title. The comment that best summarizes my experience happened when I expressed concerns about being without a visible tooth because of my children. I explained that my four-year-old would absolutely notice and comment on it because, like most four-year-olds, she is brutally honest. Dr. T's response was that perhaps I should teach my child not to be rude. Rather than acknowledging my concern, I felt dismissed. After more than 14 months, I am still not finished with treatment. My frustration is not that dental treatment takes time. My frustration is that after more than a year, I still feel there was no clear roadmap, poor communication, conflicting information, little empathy, and very little respect for the concerns I repeatedly raised. I waited a long time to write this review because I wanted to be fair. Unfortunately, the longer this process continued, the more my concerns were reinforced. Patients deserve clear communication, realistic expectations, empathy, and respect. That was not my experience.
