If…read moreyou're looking for a periodontist who prioritizes empathy and personal attention, I cannot recommend Dr. Felts Randall based on my experience. The approach during my visit with Chattanooga Periodontics & Dental Implants, particularly with Dr. Felts Randall, was extremely impersonal, rushed and uncaring. I chose not to return. Also, the clinic participates with my dental insurance, however I received a bill as if I was a self-pay. The issue was corrected only after I pointed it out, mailed only the correct discounted amount, and told the clinic that I could report this to my dental insurance and the insurance commissioner. As contrast, I went to another local periodontal clinic (near Gunbarrel) where the two doctors truly listened, showed genuine concern for my comfort and needs, and made the entire experience positive and reassuring. I left feeling valued and confident in their care.

I'm very disappointed with my experience at this office today after an unexpected $180 bill for a…read morereferral visit. I visited Chattanooga Perio for the first time today after I received a referral from another doctor. When I originally called to setup an appointment, I gave them my insurance information over the phone during the appt setup process. Upon arriving for my appointment today, I handed my insurance card to the woman up front who noted which insurance I had and made a copy of it. I wasn't given any estimate for service, any approximate cost to expect for the visit, and was not told until the end of the visit that they don't take my insurance. Instead, at the conclusion of my visit, I was handed a bill for $180 for the visit, was then told my insurance isn't accepted and was talked down to when I expressed my surprise at the bill and asked if they offered a cash discount. It is incredibly unprofessional to be condescending toward a patient about financial matters when your office failed on two accounts to inform the patient that their insurance would not be accepted. I find it extremely rude and inconsiderate to not inform someone that their insurance isn't accepted and to not provide some kind of expectation for what the cost might be out of pocket. An unexpected $180 for a referral isn't a small expense and it's immensely frustrating to be treated as if the unexpected expense is somehow a burden on the employee. This also seems like a very high fee for the visit I experienced. Half of the charge was for 3 photos that were taken on a regular digital camera, which again I wasn't given a choice about, nor was I made aware that there would be a $90 charge for these photos. The rest of the exam consisted of 40 minutes of me waiting, 10 minutes of the doctor looking in my mouth and 10 minutes explaining the work they recommended. Had I known that none of this would be covered, I would have simply gone to another periodontist that was covered by my insurance. I don't recommend this office at all and I really don't trust them. I hate writing negative reviews, but I would hate for this to happen to someone else too. Please find another periodontist office that cares about their prospective patients and does not treat them as if their financial concerns are an annoyance.

I've spent thousands of hours in the chair and even more thousands of dollars trying to fix them. Unfortunately, most of those experiences were extremely painful and quite discouraging. I have been to many, many dentists, (too many to count) but this office is truly top-notch. From the moment I walked into The Mint Dental, I knew this place was different. Dr. Armstrong is crazy talented, meticulous, and truly cares about his patients. He and his team went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable, informed, and, most importantly, confident in my smile again. And let's talk about the phenomenal staff. They are rockstars!!! From scheduling to finance, to cleaning, to hygiene, every single person I encountered was amazing. Jayme, Rachel, Stacy, Tori, and Shanna, you all made this experience smooth, stress-free, and enjoyable! THANK YOU!! And let's talk about Mumford, the CEO (Calming Emotions Officer)! This furry little guy has a way of making even the most nervous patients feel at ease. Whether it's a comforting presence or just a little distraction, Mumford is truly part of what makes this office so special. For the first time in decades, I can smile BIG! That's something I never thought I'd be able to say. I am beyond grateful for the skill, care, and kindness I experienced here. I've finally found the absolute best dentist and team! Highly, highly recommend!!

When I went in it was not busy and not once did the Dentist ask how my day was or anything about me. This Suprised me coming from my previous dentist and being related to dentists that say making a connection is the first thing you want to do with your customer to show you care. Instead I was told there was no other option even though I've had the same repairs done through using gel instead of injections. Which injections are more expensive then the alternative. Instead of giving options they gave the option and said I could leave and go back to the dentist I had before. Not only was it the environment but it my tooth that got fixed had to have an extension which they chose a shade of yellow instead of white. Now I am stuck with a paper two shades darker extension. The assistants and coordinators made up for it with the environment and atmosphere they created however. The main dentist felt like what we call in the business world an "energy vampire". These people suck the energy out of every situation. I do not see how this could be called a family dentistry with these things happening.
