They went beyond and above to help me get approved for a payment plan i could afford. I'm so grateful for their kindness and compassion. They show exceptional care and kindness to their customers.

But it went well if you omit that important detail. (That record can play a negative factor when getting life insurance so it's important to get that right.) I moved the rest of my family from another provider which was becoming extremely expensive. My first appointment for the kids had to be rescheduled as their hygienist was going to be out. My next appointment happened but when we got here they said they don't clean teeth on the first encounter with a new patient. That doesn't make sense that I'm going to take my kids out of school/holiday and drive 30 min to show up for an exam and X-ray and then have to come back again for a teeth cleaning. So I complained about that and they got one kid in but not the other due to hygienist availability. Not sure about this place and their burdensome rules. They didn't let me have the appointment I wanted to have. Who goes to the dentist and doesn't get their teeth cleaned?

The office manager who checked me in confirmed my insurance was accepted in this location. To my surprise, this was not accurate and had to pay $180 out of pocket. This was the beginning of dishonesty and lack of integrity. The office staff knowing in advance that the dental hygienist wouldn't be present, the office chose not to notify me and proceeded with the appointment as if everything were routine. I was given X-rays by a tech who lacked basic professionalism, he nearly took the images without an X-ray apron until I pointed it out. Afterward, I was led to the exam room where the doctor who glanced my teeth and simply stated I needed a standard cleaning. Only then did the tech inform me that the hygienist wasn't in and I'd need to reschedule. Completely avoidable and poorly handled. After all this took place, they have the audacity to send me a $180 bill and have their billing department call me about it. Wasted my time and money in such deplorable dental office. Pleased I was able to find an honest, friendly, clean, professional and safe dentist office. This experience reflects a disregard for patient time, safety, and transparency. I won't be returning and I urge others to seek care elsewhere.

Like overpriced electric toothbrush. It's 6 months later and I went to a privately owned business where the dentist is also the owner. He confirmed I have NO CAVITIES AND DO NOT NEED CROWNS ON MY TEETH. This place is awful because it is private equity owned, meaning they are owned by investors, who encourage them to meet quotas. GOOGLE IT, they're sketchy beyond belief. They get away with insurance fraud, attempt to meet quotas and over charge for unnecessary procedures! I wouldn't believe it if I hadn't been through it. Also, it deleted the pics but my post is on Google too so you can find them there. ORIGINAL: The worst dental experience I've ever had--painful, disorganized, and deeply unpleasant. I was so upset after I left that I even called my former dentist (in Kentucky) to tell her what happened and express my gratitude to her and really get some validation. I was told I wasn't scheduled for a cleaning, only an intake, despite confirming everything by phone. The week prior, I had to leave after a 45-minute wait because of unresolved insurance issues that I also discussed with someone by phone beforehand. Once I was finally taken back, I was shocked by how unclean the facility appeared--I almost walked out and wish I had. I took a video but it won't led me load it so I will add screenshots. The photos don't do it justice, it was like this all through the back. This is basic cleaning! Then they took my blood pressure and it said 143/ something and I was like wait... that's wild bc it's normally 120/80 or very close to it. And I asked her to take it again, it read 112/something... just 2 mins later. Clearly that's not reliable and very unsafe... I take cleanliness and my dental health seriously. I have no history of sensitivity or painful experiences. I just had a cleaning about 6 months ago. I actually love going to the dentist until this experience. I only have two minor cavities (my first ever at 27 years old). This week they told me I have "slight gingivitis" in a few areas as well. Despite that, this was the most painful cleaning I've ever endured. The hygienist was extremely heavy-handed, cutting the roof of my mouth and multiple spots along my gums. I floss daily and never bleed, yet I was bleeding and in significant pain. At one point, I tried to get her to stop so I could take a break, but she didn't respond--I had to physically move her hands. I ended up crying the entire time from both pain and emotional overwhelm. What made it worse was the complete lack of empathy--no acknowledgment, no apology, not even an offer to pause. It felt dehumanizing. I must note that she was playing religious music in her section. I don't usually mind this as I respect people's beliefs, but given the overall experience this just added to the unprofessional setting. She was humming along as I was laying there crying.
