She came out almost in tears and I could tell right away something was wrong. She said the woman who cleaned her teeth was rough and the dentist who came in frightened her (her words were "she was like a mob boss"). The dentist didn't come out to let me know anything (if she did or didn't have any cavities, any additional preventative care needed, if my daughter needed to be doing anything different, if she had good dental health, etc..) which is what their previous dentist always did. When we got home she said it felt like there was cement on her teeth and I noticed some white stuff caked on. It seems like they overbook and I'm guessing they only do 1 cleaning at a time based on the waiting times I saw. On a positive note, the front desk people were very friendly.

I had a very disappointing experience with Chesterfield Family Dental at Kingsley. What concerned…read moreme even more was the inconsistency between my periodontal chart and the proposed treatment plan. The dentist recommended scaling and root planing (deep cleaning) for teeth #4, #12, and #28, even though many of the recorded pocket measurements around those areas were only 2-4 mm. At the same time, the chart showed deeper 5-6 mm pockets on other teeth, which was not included in the proposed SRP treatment. I could not get a clear explanation for why teeth with relatively shallow measurements were selected for deep cleaning while the tooth with multiple 5-6 mm measurements was apparently missed. I later obtained evaluations from other dentists, and their findings were very different. What concerned me most was that the treatment recommendations did not seem to correspond clearly with the periodontal measurements I was given.

Duff Family Dental gives quotes on phone and changes cost after visit. They have you sign paper…read moresaying, they have the right to adjust quotes for the unknown. All I had done was x-rays and check up. Dr. Carla Duff did not even do an oral exam but just looked at x-rays. Instead of her admitting she could possibly made a mistake, that she got involve in discussion of my x-rays and forgot to check and went to her next appointment, she said, I would never skip that and acted very unprofessional. A person knows when someone pulls out your tongue to look under it for cancer or lifts your lips back to check gums. She did neither but denied it and instead of offering to check it, she got all bent out of shape and offended. Telling friends/neighbors/family to definitely beware of two sides of this dentist/office practices.

Dr. Olson has been my dentist for several years. Six decades of rough living has taken a toll on…read moreall of me, including my teeth. I have been through the gamut from extraction to root canals to filling a cavity and having a partial denture made for the bottom row of teeth still implanted there and the gap where the other teeth gave up the ghost. All my fault with, possibly, bad genes having a few teeth break while chewing with extraction the most practical option. Dr. Olson has performed his tasks professionally and in a friendly, relaxed manner. I am convinced he is honest and capable and has MY best interests at heart. When options are available he informs me of all, offers his advice and allows me to do what is best for me. His prices are competitive and I believe the value-for-the-money ranges from comparable to much better than prior dentists I had working on me in the other states I lived in.

Their facility has the latest technologies (digital x-rays, cleaning equipment, crowns made on-site), all their doctors are extremely knowledgeable about the latest dental technologies, and the entire staff always shows how much they care with every interaction. They are even YouTube content producers (check out their channel: InnovativeDentalofSpringfield) where you can see their doctors discuss their philosophy on various dental issues: cleanings, crowns, root canals, dental anxiety, and even how to finance it all, . When I initially moved to the area, I needed to get either a bridge or implant for a couple back molars that had been extracted a year earlier. Dr. Olson went over some different options, gave me the pros/cons of each, and provided a very cost-effective option for me with no pressure to go with one option over the others. Since then, one of my kids needed to get an (orthodontic) expander, and another now has braces. They both love going to the dentist/orthodontist since it's a great experience for kids too: They have some fun activities for the kids while they're waiting for their appointment.

As you can see from the attached screenshot of my voicemail transcription that Miranda clearly stated "We unfortunately don't do anything with Bridges. We don't know how". An innovative dental office that doesn't know how to deal with a bridge? That's crazy work. I had already had billing issues with them in the past. And now I am not confident in their ability to provide quality services. I've taken my business elsewhere.

I…read morecan say it was quick to get an appointment which was nice so we could max out our dental benefits for the calendar year. The office was nice and clean, but the wait was a little obnoxious considering it was empty. The dentist was friendly and explained everything thoroughly. I did have to call to get a treatment plan whereas I've always been given that upon leaving a dentists office so that was weird. My daughters dad called the insurance and clarified some of the charges, when I called OMS to speak to billing to question some things I was met with a very condescending attitude and told "I'd be happy with only having to pay $326", as if questioning what Cigna said we would be paying Vs what they're "estimate" given was out of line. As a customer I'm not trying to over pay, and they're billing well above their contracted amount per tooth, meaning the amount I'm paying a percentage of is inflated according to the dental insurance company. To speak to someone who is trying to just get clarification in such a condescending manner leaves a real impression on the facility as a whole. Just based on my most recent experience with their billing department on 11/13/2023 I wouldn't recommend this place. I'd find somewhere else where requesting clarification isn't such a burden on their employees.

This review is my personal account as a patient of Dr. Randi Green. The following experience is my…read moreown and belongs to me: I sued Randi Green and prevailed in the 31st Judicial Circuit Court of Greene County, Missouri. My case number is 2331-AC06419 and I encourage you to look it up as it is public information. The judge agreed with me and I prevailed with a judgement against Randi Green. Background: Randi Green installed a crown in my mouth which she did not size correctly. It was bigger than my original, natural tooth. The now, larger crown crowded my mouth and rearranged the alignment of my bite. Randi Green refused to correct her error, she did not refer me to an orthodondist nor did she offer to correctly fix her mistake. She simply tried to sweep her shotty dentistry under the rug by refusing to take my calls and discontinuing my treatment. During the entire experience Randi Green's office staff were extremely rude to me and made me feel very uncomfortable. I was left to find a new dentist and orthodontist on my own. If you have been wronged by Randi Green you are not alone. I encourage you to fight for what is right and, if you stick with your cause, you can prevail, too. Or if you are looking for a new dentist, heed my warning and look elsewhere!

I had never had a dentist so concerned with my comfort level. Literally every few minutes he asks; are you okay? Making sure you are feeling no pain whatsoever. When it was time to get more work done I specifically asked for him. But found he no longer was helping out at that office. So I quickly scheduled an appointment at his office. Upon my arrival I was truly impressed by the safe who "ALL" where extremely professional, and polite. The front, and rooms were very clean with a mellow Fung Shui feel. I received my cleaning from Lori, and later my numbing shots. And I can swear to you I never even felt a pinch! They treat you with the upmost respect no matter your dental condition. Dr. Papagayo has even taken time out of his busy schedule to talk to me on the phone, and squeeze me in when I'm worried about something. Never in my life have I had any doctor who cares for his patients this much. Dr Papagayo, and his staff's only concern is your happiness and comfort. I'm only sad I didn't find him sooner. And just so you know. My wife has left her family dentist in order to see Dr Papagayo. One visit is all it will take you. You'll never search for another dentist once you see him.
