    If I could give it 6 stars I would! I have been scared to death of dental work for YEARS. But I…read moreknew I eventually needed to go and get some long overdue work done. I researched and really liked the "feel" of Atlanta Dental Spa. Their "No Judgement" attitude is what I liked the most. I walked in the front door (BIG step) and Tiara took such great care of me. She is so sweet!! After x-rays and scans, I met with Dr. Gandhi who was very understanding of my fear. He was gentle and explained everything that needed to be done and what those options were. It was scary looking at all that was needed, but they offer sedation dentistry and that's what I did. After a good couple of hours of being "consciously knocked out", Dr. Gandhi, Whitney and Britney got the work done! I left being able to smile showing my teeth for the first time in years! But more so, correcting the things that could affect the rest of my health. After I got home I did NOT have ANY pain which is saying a lot as I had a ton of work done. They said that days 3-4 might be the worst for pain, but there was NONE. And that's taking nothing but ibuprofen. The advancement of dentistry is amazing. More than that, finding a dental office that treats you like family, sees you at your scheduled time, offers you neck warmers, blankets, headphones with your choice of music...but most of all truly cares about your patient experience. I'll keep my mouth healthy at Atlanta Dental Spa-Highlands and Dr. Gandhi is my dental guy going forward! (Also thanks to Tiffany who helped answer my financial questions!)

    BEWARE: AVOID THIS PLACE. I have never written a Yelp review before today, but my experience at…read morePonce Dental Group was so exceptionally bad that I feel compelled to. I scheduled a routine cleaning as a new patient. I practice generally very good dental hygiene, floss daily, etc. I show up and get x-rays, etc. and then before the cleaning the doctor comes into the office, looks at my teeth, and tells me I'll need some extra level of cleaning that would put my out of pocket at around $280 (I have insurance that covers a basic cleaning, as is standard). Now look I expect dentists to try to up-charge you nowadays and I'm very used to politely declining to spend hundreds of dollars on a night guard. What made my experience so insanely frustrating is that when I tried to decline treatment, the DOCTOR REFUSED TO DO A ROUTINE CLEANING. He said it would be against office policy to give me a routine cleaning after they'd already assessed that I needed some special expensive one. Here's how a visit to PDG will go, just so everyone is aware of the kafkaesque experience beforehand: (1) You'll arrive, get x-rays. (2) The dental assistant will tell you the doctor needs to come in to assess "what type of cleaning you'll need." If you ask about costs, the assistant will say she doesn't do that. (3) The doctor will come in and check your teeth and make some sort of decision, then tell you to wait to talk with the manager. If you ask about costs, the doctor will say he doesn't do that. (4) Some manager will come in, tell you that the doctor recommended these things that will cost X dollars over your insurance. When you ask if you can just have a routine cleaning like you came for, the manager will tell you she can't make diagnosing decisions. (5) When the doctor returns, he will tell you no he can't change it. Thus, after spending an hour and getting x-rays, you will learn that if you want to actually get your teeth cleaned, you'll need to pony up a significant out of pocket cost. There were also just a ton of infuriating moments of this visit today: The doctor basically ignored me when I told him that I've had sensitive gums my entire life (despite flossing regularly) and that I've never been told to get a more expensive cleaning. Plus, only after I threatened to leave a bad review online, they decided that they could find a way to waive the fees and skip some of the more expensive stuff (guess it wasn't so important after all!). Tl;dr: all dentists, especially those owned by private equity, are trying to take you for a ride. This office reminded me why I haven't trusted a dentist in years. SAVE YOUR TIME AND MONEY.

    I just have to say.. I absolutely loved Dr Briggs and his incredibly professional,knowledgeable and…read moresuper friendly staff Dr Briggs took care of my dental needs immediately explaining in detail the process of the work I needed on my teeth I never felt any pain during the procedures I highly recommend the Ponce Dental group. 5 stars all around!

    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.

    I cannot recommend this dental practice. My first visit was a cleaning, and everything was fine…read moreuntil Dr. Kearns came back and told me I had three cavities. This was surprising to me as I have been receiving dental care every 6 months for my whole life and haven't had a cavity in 10+ years. My prior dentist was in my hometown and someone I had been going to since childhood and was very familiar with my teeth. Because we had a good relationship with this dentist, my mom even asked them what they thought and they warned that I should get a second opinion. However, I was scared of having cavities, so went ahead with the fillings on Dr. Kearns recommendation ($400+ out of pocket for a college student). I was also told to buy an expensive specialty toothpaste in the office that retailed for half the price on Amazon. Over the next several months, I had horrific, constant dental pain where the fillings were. I couldn't eat anything on one side of my mouth for months. After about two weeks of pain, I went in for a revision, which did not help. Only now 6 months later I am starting to be able to eat on the other side of my mouth. I should note that I had no dental pain in this region before despite the diagnosis of three cavities. I should have switched after this, but had scheduled a 6 month cleaning immediately after my first appointment which crept up on me, so decided to just go in and do the cleaning. When I arrived, the front desk told me I had a balance of $170 that they were about to send to collections. I had not received a single text, email, or physical mail notifying me of my balance. I was able to pay this balance, but knowing that they were happy to send this to collections and potentially impact my credit score without any notification is a disgrace. The cleaning itself was fine, but my hygienist told me Dr. Kearns was very busy and when she came to check me out she barely spoke a word to me, only rattling off dental jargon to the hygienist. I will not be returning to Intown Dental Center. I have never had anxiety related to the dentist until now. The poor bedside manner, weaponization of authority to overprescribe procedures/sell you things you don't need, shoddy fillings, and lack of billing transparency all made this a horrible experience.

This happened multiple times in a matter of minutes. Do yourself a favor and take your business elsewhere. Get a front office that isn't belligerent and is actually trying to get patients!!!
