    Very nice staff who perform quality services. Encountered impactful scheduling/insurance entry…read moredifficulties but met me halfway as much as possible.

    I found Brighton Dental when I was really struggling with my health and had no answers through…read moretraditional medicine what was "wrong" with me. After 5 months of struggling I found Dr. Woods as a last ditch effort based on intuition that my underlying issue may be due to a root canal I had done the prior year. Every traditional dentist or doctor I met said my symptoms (chronic nausea, unable to eat, chronic fatigue, achy joints to name a few) couldn't possibly be related to my tooth because everything "looked fine". Dr. Woods made me feel seen and validated in a way that no other dentist or medical professional has, she listened, validated my feelings and said "you know your body better than anyone" so let's take a look. Sure enough after completing a Cone Beam CT scan she validated that the root canaled tooth was in fact infected. I had no pain in the actual tooth, but my body had been fighting a "silent infection" for over a year. She got me a few days later to have the tooth extracted (on a Tuesday) and by Friday of that same week I was able to walk my son around the neighborhood for trick or treating on Halloween. My walking heart rate went from over 130, to under 90 that same week, my blood pressure has stabilized, the daily panic and anxiety has gone away, I've gained over 5 pounds back (from losing 20) and I can eat, play with my son and function again. My body and nervous system still have healing to do after being in a state of chronic illness for an extended period of time, but each day I feel stronger. Thank you, Dr. Woods and everyone at your practice for not dismissing my concerns and helping me get my life back. If you have an intuition that your body is speaking through symptoms and it may be related to your oral health, go see Dr. Woods for a Cone Beam CT scan to confirm. You are your biggest advocate, and we need holistic practitioners who believe the mouth has a systemic impact on your entire body.

    Dr. Haynie is the best! When you've known someone for a long time, you may think professional…read morebehavior may become more casual, but this is not the case with Haynie Dental. Is it possible to leave the dentist inspired to be better in life? I am. Thank you for the excellent care

    Dr Haynie performed work on my teeth without my consent and disfigured my smile. I had a minor chip…read morein my top left front tooth and requested that Dr Haynie fill it with resin. Instead, without my consent, he ground that tooth down to eliminate the chip, removing tooth volume and curving my otherwise straight tooth. Without my consent, he then ground my top right front tooth and curved it in a botched attempt to create symmetry. When I told him that I was upset that he did work without my consent and that it looked bad, I expected him to say that he would work with me to make it right. Instead, he told me that he felt threatened and was terminating our doctor-patient relationship. This guy is a nightmare! I've attached a photo showing the unconsented work performed by Dr Haynie on my top two front teeth. The top right front tooth had no issues but Dr Haynie removed significant volume from the interior portion, turning it into a snarl tooth. Looking at the far right edge of the top right front tooth, move left all the way across my top left front tooth and you will have a sense of how much tooth volume Dr Haynie removed from my top left front tooth, also without my consent. Also note that he curved the top left front tooth, giving it an unaesthetic appearance. If you want a dentist to only perform work you consent to or otherwise stand behind the work they perform, do NOT go to Dr Haynie. Also, not every dentist is an artist or has good taste, meaning not every dentist should be performing cosmetic work. Dr Haynie should NOT be performing cosmetic dentistry.

    I never publically review negative thoughts on a business but this place demands it. The…read morereceptionist is extremely rude and passive aggressive. On our first visit she behaved this way for no reason. Subsequently when we tried to visit the office to get school paperwork filled out she repeatedly gave us a hard time about coming in person and seemed determined not to help. She provided working hours and then upon visiting and calling she changed them. The dentist seems fine bit the front of house is horrible.

I moved out of state and with our schedule i haven't been able to go back so i called last Friday 10/27 to ask if i could get some of my money back. I understand I would not get the full amount. They gave me an estimate of 1200, she's only been seen there twice. Nicole said since my daughter has only been seen twice she wanted to ask the doctor about getting me more back. I said I was fine with the 1200 but she insisted and said she'd call me back either Monday or Tuesday. That she would for sure hear something by then. BS. I waited, no call. Wednesday 11/1 and left a message. On their voicemail it says they would get back within 24 hours. No call. My husband called and an older woman answers and takes a message. Today 11/3 i left an angry voicemail. And finally get a callback. Nicole now states I'll get around 1000 back and the dr needs to approve it but he's been out of the office all week. So what is it he needs to approve it, or you wanted to ask him if it was ok to see if I could get more money back? Anyway they seem to be always out the office so why would you want to get your braces there. Anyway it sucks to have to make a bad review because I used to take my kids to his brothers dentist office and of course he recommended his brother for orthodontics. I regret that decision.
