I have been a patient of Dr. Copenhaver for about 7 years. I'm scared of going to the dentist and I liked how I was treated by Dr. Copenhaver and his staff. Recently, though, I've not been pleased. For starters, I have not seen Dr. Copenhaver even though I've been to the office. The last three times I've gone, I've seen three different dentists. While he has retained a few of the original staff I liked, some of his newer (at least to me new) staff have been quite unpleasant. The dental hygienist I saw on my last visit a few weeks ago was irritable with me while taking my x-rays and found that I needed very expensive and intensive care. No one questioned this young dental hygienist and before I knew it, I was going to be paying over $1,400 out of pocket. I went to see another dentist in town, much to Dr. Copenhaver's office's displeasure. I did get a second opinion and it was found that I didn't need any of the expensive work done that Dr. Copenhaver's office said I did. They would have not only had me pay a lot of money to get work done that didn't need to be done, but would have put me through much pain and discomfort, too. My advice is that if you are a patient at Copenhaver Dental and have been told you need to have very expensive work done, go get a second opinion. It is your right to have a second opinion and don't feel bad in doing so. read more
