This place will overcharge you. No transparent pricing. I have been charged 4 times and only once…read moredid I get a receipt - not even a detailed receipt of what I paid for. In 2 months they increased my bill estimate by $20 but didn't give me the printout of the updated plan amount. Also, the dental hygienist who cleaned my teeth stabbed my tongue with an implement so I yelled ouch! She also forgot to floss my bridge. I had to ask her. Billing acts as if you understand math without a calculator and if you ask questions about the plan, they make you feel like you're being cheap or something. Also, Dr. Gooch himself said we will do 2 cleanings, 4 hrs total. "You have a disease we will clean each quadrant an hour each". I didn't get it done right away because I had a slipped disc and when I went, I said I'm in some pain,. I might not be able to lie for 2 hours. This was supposed to be the first of two 2 hour appointments. Well guess what? The dental hygienist finished in 45 minutes. I paid $635 for 45 minutes! That's like $1,000/hr. The cleaning was supposed to take 4 hours total and it took 45 minutes! That means they're committing fraud - They are charging for a service that they did not provide. It is not a coincidence that they have a 3.8 rating here. I'm going to talk to the office manager and demand all itemized receipts, my records. They are literally overcharging me - more than the estimate I was shown.

Make sure you call ahead before you go because the front desk is not nice about it nor cares what your emergency is.

After putting it off for as long as possible (cuz really, who actually *enjoys* going to the…read moredentist?), I finally stopped being a child and worked up the nerve to find a local dentist to frequent. The goal was to find one that was in our insurance network, and also one close enough to allow for mid-workday visits w/out causing too much interruption of the day. So, out of the blue I settled on Valleydale Dental, and apparently my hands are magic b/c I hit the jackpot. The facilities are very easy to find and are very clean and modernly-furnished - the patient area is basically a wide-open space, with "rooms" as you would imagine them (with a flat-panel TV in each, allowing you to try to mentally escape the sounds of soft drilling), but with the 4th wall for the door not exactly there. (Hard to describe, but a very neat setup with privacy not an issue at all actually.) The staff - hygienists, receptionists - are all incredibly personable and down-to-earth, never giving the impression that your visit is an inconvenience to their work schedule (which unfortunately happens quite a bit at doctors' offices these days it seems). The actual DMD, Dr. Gonzalez, is as friendly as a doctor/dentist can be. The guy's got a ridiculous bedside manner, and makes you feel like you're just hanging out with a buddy, who happens to have his hand in your mouth. lol He's absolutely forthcoming about everything he's going to do and is doing, and is not pushy, dry, or nonchalant when it comes to identifying what he thinks next steps should be. He's quick yet thorough in his work, and truly appears to care about doing a great job and with the least amount of discomfort to the patient. Fantastic dentist - could not be happier with the choice. So, if you're looking for a good dentist in town, and are either on this side of town mostly, or don't mind the trek from wherever you are, I *highly* recommend this place. I'd give them 6 stars if I could, that's how impressed I am of the overall experience. I'm already working on recruiting my wife, and will probably hit up a few other family members as well before it's all said and done. Seriously, give this place a look - trust me, you will thank the tooth heavens.

I made the appointment and I still didn't know who dialed the number. I got there I was shaking, shaking I mean scared. Dr. Vance looked at me he said I can see how scared you are with just exrays. I made it through with Dr. Vance and his beautiful nurse. And so my journey began. I had not been to a dentist not even to take someone for an appointment. Y'all I was to scared to cry. Dr. Vance I had never met anyone like him. My appointment was in the afternoon and for him to still be as wonderful as he was still just wonderful. And I can't remember the beautiful caring nurse name. She helped me so much. Y'all I knew this was going to be a long process. If Dr. Vance could see my fear and make me feel at ease for just pics of my rotted out teeth. I remember I was trying to get food and chewing and teeth breaking as I'm eating. Sooo many years of people staring at mumble nasty comments. My family didn't treat me no different. But I tried to distance my self from the staring and this kid I was working at a grocery store and I would hear his song all I want for Christmas is my 2 front teeth. I suffered silently and I hated me because I was a coward and I wanted to be brave. But God say peace be still.

Everyone has a great personality--it's nothing like your typical cold, dim, stale dentist office. All of the dental assistants and front office staff seem genuinely happy where they're working, which is also atypical for most medical offices. I've even had several of them tell me how great Dr. Brewer is as an employer, and that definitely shows in the great customer service they provide. Dr. Brewer is a patient, thorough dentist that doesn't seem to be in a big rush to get done with you and on to the next patient, and is willing to answer any questions you may have. With that said, he's also very punctual to his schedule. I've been going to this office for about a year now and I've never waited more than 10 minutes to be taken back to a room for cleaning or for him to come in after the cleaning. Now that I've moved, this office is rather inconvenient to where I live, but they're so good it's well worth the drive. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a new dentist.

Parking, however, can be a little tight. Unfortunately, the relationship had to be terminated due a billing dispute for $165. I ended up being compelled to pay the full amount despite explaining to them the unfortunate circumstances around the issuance of the bill. The receptionist was somewhat rude (not ugly) as she explained the situation on their end. I asked if we could meet in the middle to preserve the relationship (something their web presence says they value), but she was unable to come to an equitable resolution for me. They may have received their cash payment for $165, but will lose out on thousands of dollars worth of future claims payments from my insurer because they were unable/unwilling to compromise with a long-standing, reliable patient. With all that said, I will miss Dr. Davenport and I wish her well. I hope her office management team learns to see the bigger picture when it comes to preserving patient relationships, especially when the amount in question is so paltry in the long run.
