Not sure why you wanted to reopen this mess. Suggs is not telling the truth. At NO point was I…read moreever informed a person other than Suggs would be working on me. The work her replacement did was sooooo bad he would have been flunked in dental school. He didn't even get contacts between my teeth which is a big "no no". Now food packs between my teeth. Substandard care. Here is the treatment plan you sent me. No mention of #30 needing a crown. Oops! So you forgot #30 and I can guarantee you there was no mention a newer graduate would be doing the work. That can be seen in the appointment list below. I never would have consented to that. Below is an email from your office, followed by an email from you totally ignoring #30. Look at the photos below. No mention of the crown on #30 I needed nor is there any mention she has other practitioners in her office. And the last 3 letters behind my name are the same as hers, DDS.

She's had patience with me that other dentists would never have because Im nearly impossible to anesthetize.

What sets this practice apart is, well, everything! Dr. Babb is friendly, kind and the best at what he does. His practice is state of the art. I had not had a cleaning in several years and his hygienist gave me the least painful cleaning I have ever received. The office staff is top notch and go out of their way to make sure you understand their billing and what you can expect to pay after insurance. NO ONE pressures you to have services you (or your budget) may not be ready for. Last, but certainly not least, Dr. Babb's staff genuinely like him - I heard one young staff member tell him that she will be working with him until she retires. When another staff member got a call from her child's school, he told her immediately to "Go" and he had no disapproval or irritation at all in his tone. I'm so impressed with Dr. Babb and his entire practice.

When I first arrived at BFD maybe a decade ago. I was terrified. I hadn't seen a dentist in years…read moredue to the discomfort/pain/shame I experienced every time I entered a dentists office. I had dental procedure anxiety (self-diagnosed) something fierce. I never flossed. Brushed a few times a week. "You wouldn't be bleeding so much if you flossed," some so- called 'dental professional' would tell me. "It wouldn't hurt if you weren't stabbing me in my gums with no empathy," is what I would think to myself as I white knuckled some satanic saddle of dental doom, wishing I could afford gaseous ambivalence. When the pain in my mouth finally achieved victory over my fear of procedural pain, into BFD I walked. Janet sweetly laughed when I asked for gas, or benzodiazapine, or anything to rest my anxiety. "You'll be fine, I've been at this for years." She was right. While it took a while to un-f#({ the results of my dental neglect, I learned a lot. I was shown how easy it is to floss (with a floss pick- that's not cheating; it's just as effective as cumbersome filament floss). Dr. Drossner helpfully suggested I slip it onto my daily routine. I started flossing every time I waited for my shower to warm up. I quit skipping a good brushing to save a couple minutes. I'm not at 100%, but I'd get a solid A on the 1990s grading scale for sure. Eager excitement nearly effortlessly replaced anxiety and avoidance in advance of my semiannual oral inspection. The staff at BFD remember my chosen name (not just my government one). They find ways to make my visits cheaper. They remember that I don't like their music - they don't change it, but they remember. Dr. Drossner congratulates me on my newfound acceptance of daily tooth washing. Janet gives me a hug before I leave. I never knew until this morning after Janet effortlessly and (almost- I ain't perfect) painlessly descaled and polished my teeth, that dentists and hygienists experience anxiety about giving people anxiety. If you squirm at the dentist's office, they have to suffer their own discomfort with a HIPPA-suggested countenance of indifference. That means, everybody wins if daily dental diligence becomes standard. If you live in Beaufort or the surrounding areas, do your mouth a favor. Go see the folks at BFD. And at the very least, start brushing and flossing every day. It's better to floss your teeth every day for less than a minute than to hate a dental professional or yourself for an hour every six months. My name is Thieme Hall and I support this message.

I was a patient of this practice since I moved to the area in 2021. In 2026 Dr. Drossner left and I…read morewas in the care of Dr. Turner. After receiving a treatment plan from his office I requested a 5-10 minute phone call. Twice over a week. Then I went to the office to make that same request and also ask the office manager about the notes she had made which I didn't fully grasp. Afterwards, in a phone call, I received an ultimatum. I could either accept the treatment plan or I could schedule a consultation for $150 out of pocket, with no middle ground. Translation: I really needed to accept my spot on the conveyor belt. Under the ADA Code of Ethics and S.C. Code Ann. Regs. 39-11, Section 1 (Patient Autonomy), a dentist's primary obligations include involving patients in treatment decisions in a meaningful way. With Dr. Turner, if I wanted to be able to ask questions and make choices before committing to the treatment plan, that was now extra. I cannot express fully how profoundly troubling this experience has been, how shocked I am this became confrontational and how deeply disappointed I am in leaving Beaufort Family Dentistry under these circumstances. Ensuring informed consent is the obligation of every dentist and should be easy and routine. This was the opposite of that.

I flew in four separate times from California because after a lot of research, I knew Dr. Porcelli was the one I could trust to be patient, immaculate, and impeccable with his work. And sure enough, I was right. I know I have already written a review, but I absolutely felt I needed to follow up after the completion of my work. Again, his staff is unbelievably hard-working. They are all incredibly invested in each patient and really know/understand each individuals needs. Dr. Porcelli's wife, Alina, manages the practice, and is seasoned in all things dentistry and health. She is an absolute star as far as I'm concerned. Your happiness is their primary concern and they absolutely guarantee it. If you're seeking a veteran cosmetic dentist, whose professionalism goes beyond just dentistry, but rather, overall health and wellness, look no further. If you're looking for a place whose staff will all know you by name and will greet you with warmth and familiarity, please, please call this office. Thank you to everyone at the Biological Center for Dentistry! Pure excellence all around.

So when it was time to find a dentist I asked around. We were referred here by a native of the island and are so thankful for the recommendation.

We find Dr. Galloway to be straight-forward and no-nonsense, which we are happy about. She is not one of those dentists who recommends a lot of costly and non-essential services. She is easy to talk to and listens to all of our concerns. We went ahead and paid for services upfront out of our HSA account but got our reimbursement pretty quickly from our insurance.
