I have had some of my worst dental experiences at Belle Meade Family Dentistry. Dr. Pace has…read morevirtually no bedside manner, mumbles so quietly you cannot hear, and does not explain procedures or severe dental issues. I recently had to have an emergency procedure and expressed specific anxieties related to the procedure they said I needed, and I was offered no comfort, no explanation of what the dentist was doing when he was doing it, and my need to ask questions were met with frustration and apathy rather than clarity and compassion. The woman who helped me figure out my insurance ended up being the kindest person who spoke to me during that experience. This is sadly just the most recent experience among many others. If you have any dental anxiety, want your questions answered clearly, or struggle to find a nonjudgmental & compassionate dentist, steer clear of this dentist.

I would never recommend this dentist he did a crown on me. It never stopped hurting I even called…read moreand told them but then but due to a family emergency I had to move pretty quickly afterwards and the tooth never stopped hurting and that was in 2019. When I got out to idaho where I had to live all the way through Covid the tooth kept hurting and I finally had it retreated in 2022 and just recently now living back in Tn I was told that the first dentist didn't do the job right and now I need it retreated again. I was told by Hendersonville Endodontist that if they had done that job they would certainly retreat it for free and they asked me where I got it done of course I told them. But now it's been so long I'm sure Belle Meade would never back up their work and probably wouldn't take care of it (or pay for me to get it done elsewhere which is what I'd rather do since it wasn't taken care in the first place and I paid a TON of money) I'm stuck with a crown that needs to be retreated and it would cost me over 3 grand AGAIN for a second time !! And I don't have the money for it now !! Stay clear of this place!!

You should know the tactics Clint Newman used to try to ensure my negative review wasn't left. He…read moretried many times to wave money over my head in exchange for my silence & not discussing my failed procedure. That's awful & unfair to patients trying to find truthful reviews. Here's a truthful review of Clint Newman because I can't be bought. I paid $27,000 in full the day my veneers were done on 01/04/23. They looked perfect. When the permanent ones came in they looked nothing like the temporary. They are smaller, rounder, not straight, the bottoms aren't even & are various lengths. They look like my original teeth. I told him this & sent pictures. He said he'd replace the front 4. I had 10 done. If only 4 were replaced it would look silly. I told him I'd pay $5,000 to have 2 more done so the front 6 matched. After that he had an awful attitude towards me & was so disrespectful. He was rude & condescending that I was unhappy with his horrible work. This concerned me as he'd be responsible for altering the physical appearance of my teeth. Removing veneers can damage the remaining tooth structure. This scared me. I asked that the lab make a wax up for my approval before agreeing to let him redo these. I didn't feel confident that he could get it right w/out seeing this. He refused. He offered without me ever asking that "If you don't feel confident that I can help get you where you want then I'll refund you the money minus lab cost and you can get someone else to do it". I accepted his offer bc I didn't feel confident or comfortable with him doing it a 2nd time. He then tells me he'll refund $15,000 only if I sign an NDA as well as signing away all of my legal rights. That was never part of his offer to refund this cost. I paid $27,000 for veneers that look nothing like they were supposed to. Now he's telling me to sign a document that says I can't speak of this procedure in anyway or have any legal rights moving forward. I told him I wouldn't sign this for money. It was an unethical bribe for a partial refund. The next day he emailed a Non Disparaging Agreement saying once I signed it they would issue a check. His words were "I'm not paying anything without the signed agreement." Remember, I never once asked for a refund. He said "You got an ELECTIVE procedure done. I don't owe you anything....yet I'm offering 15k. There's zero chance I'm paying you any money without it. Either sign it and take the money or do whatever you need to do and get zero." I don't know why he kept trying to pressure me into signing it bc I made it clear that I was disgusted & appalled by his attempt to silence me & I would never sign it for any amount of money. I then felt it necessary to file a dispute with my credit card company for the amount originally offered with no strings attached. I asked what lab costs were so I could deduct it from the $27K to reflect his offer. He refused to tell me so I had to dispute the full amount. My credit card company sided with me in dispute & $27K was refunded. I got a letter saying repay it or I'd be turned over to collections. We called his attorney & were told to pay it plus $9,000 in attorneys fees. We instantly paid $36,000 They sent the check back & said pay $27K & sign the agreement. Another unethical scare tactic to bully me into signing. It disgusted me about the situation & the people I am dealing with. I'm heartbroken this is the result & I wouldn't recommend this dentist to my worst enemy. People have the right to see true reviews Everyone is entitled to give their honest review without a dentist trying to strong arm them by waving money over their heads & using debt collection tactics with paralegals which are illegal. I will not be intimated by either of these individuals that I have less than zero respect for. Clearly they thought they could bully me into this. Clearly they got it all wrong. I am not that patient. For some reason this joke of a dentist is arrogant & has a huge ego. To reply to a patient review saying "any idiot can jump online and trash a business "for leaving a review is disgusting. The way he spoke to me was revolting & disrespectful. I do not need or want his money. Let's be clear he offered a refund. I never asked for it. I wanted him to fix what he did so horribly. I disputed the charge out of principal bc he offered this & then changed his offer into a bribe to sign NDA. It was to teach him a lesson that he might be able to bully others around with money but not me. Also 3 teeth still hurt & will most likely require root canals per my endodontist & per his own website he uses images of models instead of just using his patients. Pathetic!

They are unethical with their actions and behaviors. They violate HIPAA rules. I paid for two dental implants I did not receive, and he refused to provide a refund. Jody Glover had his odd dental assistant perform dental procedures on me that she is not qualified or legally licensed to do. I had negative results. This dentist used my private dental photographs on his Instagram page without my consent. This is a serious HIPAA violation. A drill bit broke in my mouth during one of my treatments with him. His dental assistant didn't even notice it. Thankfully, I was able to work it out of my throat by myself. He acted like it was nothing and never apologized. Jody Glover already has at least one dental reprimand from the TN Dental Board so far this year and was fined. This immoral dentist has stolen my money and has not completed my treatment. The office manager at Iroquois Dentistry is rude like other reviews have stated. I am a Nashville native and a senior citizen.

Pros as a patient for about 3-4 years who so far has needed only routine services: communicative…read morefront desk, phenomenal hygienists, consistently run on time, some Friday availability, equipment and patient rooms very up to date. It's true that for routine care the majority of your time is with the hygienist. In my experience this has become pretty standard practice for dentists and I don't personally mind. Dr. Eckel checks in at the end of the appointment, is efficient and polite, always asks whether you have any questions. Cons: Allow extra time to park. Ongoing construction nearby plus busier days around the office complex have made things tricky--sometimes I find parking right away, sometimes it can take me up to 10 minutes.

My husband and I were patients of Dr. Eckel for several years. During that time we only saw the…read moredoctor briefly, barely a glance. We have excellent dental insurance, and already had excellent teeth, prior to seeing him. We actually felt that we only were there to see the hygienist, since we only saw Dr. Eckel, in passing. While he appears personable, his business practices are anything but. First started when he tried to charge us for an appointment his mother had made for us, before the 6 months between appointments. She was answering the phone and (he admitted) did not know to check. Since we were only seen there, they knew when we were to be seen again. He stated she didn't know how to do the appointment, yet he was going to charge us, until we said no. Later, we tested positive for COVID prior to our appointments. We called and were told that there would be a fifty dollar cancellation fee. We asked for clarification that it was fifty dollars, all together, as there were 2 of us. It was confirmed. We later got a text saying it was, in fact, one hundred dollars. We phoned several times, left messages, and were not given the courtesy of a reply. We instead got a nasty text from his office stating that he had given us a break before (when his mother clearly made the mistake) so, we were to pay the fee, including the extra fifty dollars. We truly have no idea if he is good at dentistry, since we never really saw him. Though, we are sure our dental insurance was billed as if we did, for years. We can attest to his business practices. He does not care if he keeps good patients. We can only think that his temper gets the best of him. What other reason to treat good patients like he did. He is a shady business man. They literally beg you to leave good reviews. And, text you the same after the visit! Avoid at all costs.
