I know that I am such a pain when it comes to dental work. My teeth are so sensitive to cold air,…read morewater, sweets that it makes it very difficult for a dentist to do any fillings, crowns etc. Today I had my first root canal ever. I remember as a little girl the pain my mom spoke about when she had one (40 years ago). With that memory a root canal has always been my biggest dental fear. This morning I had a check up and was told I needed an emergent root canal. The doctor recommended having it completed today rather than my next availability in 2 weeks. In addition to sensitivity I am very difficult to make and kept numb. I am happy to report that the dentist and her assistant listened to my concerns, adjusted their treatment methodology and allowed me to control the suction (which generally irritated because of sensitivity). They listened to me when I became concerned about numbing and adjusted. There was ZERO pain during or after the procedure in the tooth that received the root canal. Over the years I have always advocated for myself and this office is 100! They didn't test me...they listened to exactly what I explained about myself.

Notes: It looks like "Polish Dental" went out of business -- Yea! -- but then the same "operators"…read morepopped up at the same location under a new name. So beware! The scammers running "Polish" are just now calling themselves something else. Also, every positive review I checked into on this site or Google turned out to be fake. One of them literally had "John Doe" as the name, so the fake positive reviews weren't even very well done. ##### I had a very bad experience with this office ("Comfort Dental" Midtown Atlanta, which seems to be the same people and location as the now-defunct "Polish Dental"). I went in for a routine checkup and cleaning. They performed the cleaning without having reviewed my records or done an exam first, and then the dentist told me everything was fine and I could go home... still without reviewing my x-rays or chart. (Anybody ever heard of a *real* medical professional performing procedures without looking at a chart first?) Only after I questioned this did they look -- and immediately found a serious cracked tooth: this is a type of problem that should have stopped them from performing even a cleaning until after it was fixed. Indeed, once they bothered to look at my x-rays, they stated it was urgent, and pushed for same-day crown work. The procedure was poorly handled (multiple failed attempts at numbing because they kept injecting the wrong site, and severe pain), and the temporary crown failed within about 24 hours (because they botched the "geometry" of the grinding so badly another dentist later had to completely redo it), leaving me with an exposed tooth and chronic pain. After that, the office became nonresponsive. They did not provide *any* follow-up care, would not clearly explain billing, and failed to provide complete medical records despite repeated written requests. I was charged nearly $1,000 for work that provided no benefit, and they also billed my insurance for a procedure they did not complete -- in fact, they billed for additional work they didn't even attempt to perform! I had to pay another dentist entirely out of pocket to fix the issue, because they wouldn't even refund the insurance for the work they hadn't done step-one to perform. Isn't that insurance fraud? There are also concerns about how this business is operating. They changed the name from Polish Dental, I guess because that company went out of business... but are still running credit cards and billing insurance in the no-longer-exsitant busines name. Finally, when I contacted GA State dental regulatory folks, they couldn't find any record of "Comfort Dental" even having a valid license to practice in this state. Maybe this needs to be a Fulton County District Attorney or even a GBI level matter, given how many laws they seem to be breaking. I'm not a lawier, but isn't practicing without a license a felony? Same for insurance fraud? I'd like a law enforcement pro to take a look, in any case, because these folks are a clear ongoing threat to public safety. Overall, this was not just a billing issue -- it raised serious concerns about basic clinical standards and patient safety. I would strongly caution others.

Before moving to Atlanta, I was terrified of the dentist. I had never really had a good experience…read morewith one and so I avoided the regular checkups, cleanings, etc... On Jan. 5th, I developed an excruciating pain in one of my teeth. I immediately went home and to my dentist and found out that I needed a root canal. The dentist I was seeing admitted that he had not done a root canal before, but he could probably do it. I said "No way" and started searching for dentists near Atlanta. I quickly came across Mid City Dentistry and noticed the incredible reviews on every forum and decided I would go and get my root canal (which needed to be done ASAP) at Mid City Dentistry. As soon as I called, I could tell why the reviews were so good. Mercury was able to put me at ease after I explained to her how nervous I was about the procedure. I felt confident about the procedure after the phone call. When I went in and met Joscelyne, I could tell that I was in the right hands. She explained the entire procedure to me and was very patient with me despite my many questions. After meeting Dr. Michaels, I realized just how much the dentist can affect the patient's experience. Dr. Michaels again reiterated that the procedure would be fine. He told me how experienced he was with the root canal procedure and made me feel comfortable and right at home. Pretty soon, I was numbed up and watching "I Am Legend" while the procedure was being done. I felt absolutely no pain during the procedure and was comfortable the entire time. In all of my follow-up visits, I have been treated with the exact same professional care. I have also noticed that they know most of their patients by name and always greet them when they come in. They also always offer a water or a juice. For the first time, I feel very comfortable going to see the dentist. I am no longer terrified of dental procedures. I know that when I walk into Mid City Dentistry that I am going to be treated well and that whatever I am having done will be done right. I appreciate Dr. Michaels, and his staff, for providing me with the highest level of professional care.

I'm sharing this review with the hope that it brings more transparency and training to this…read morepractice's approach and serves as a heads-up to first-time patients. During my first visit, I expected a routine cleaning, as is standard at most dental offices. Instead, I paid around $100 for x-rays and a session where the dentist briefly brushed and flossed my teeth, demonstrated a new flossing technique focused on gum health, and measured gum pocket depth. I was then told to follow this routine at home and return in six weeks to assess any changes--no cleaning was performed at that first visit. At the follow-up appointment, I was seen by a different dental hygienist whose overly cheerful and rehearsed demeanor felt disingenuous. While she wasn't overtly rude, the interaction felt hollow and uncomfortable, which added to my unease. During the cleaning, she made a snide comment about my dental habits and then completed the rest of the procedure without much communication. I also noticed an unpleasant personal odor, which was surprising and concerning given the setting. Hygiene and professionalism are especially important in a dental care environment, and this contributed to a sense that standards were not being met. Unfortunately, during this visit, I believe the hygienist injured my gums multiple times due to a careless approach in handling sharp instruments. One area in particular has remained inflamed and possibly infected ever since. There was no review or inspection with the dentist afterward, which I had expected based on past experiences at other dental offices. As I was walked to the checkout counter, the hygienist casually mentioned that I "might need antibiotics" in six months if the issue with my gums didn't resolve -- an issue I am not sure I had walking in to this appointment. I never saw the dentist again during that visit, and no additional guidance or follow-up was provided beyond the flossing and brushing routine recommended weeks earlier. This entire experience left me shaken and disappointed. I have no history of gum issues or needing oral antibiotics, and this visit left me worse off than when I arrived. I haven't felt comfortable speaking up, but I'm sharing this because no one should leave a dental visit with lingering pain or uncertainty about the care they received. I genuinely hope this office takes the opportunity to improve how it communicates services upfront and invests in better training for staff--especially when it comes to patient care, professionalism, and technique. Patients deserve clear communication and quality care that prioritizes their well-being and comfort.
