Awesome staff, very friendly and professional. We bring our whole family of 6 to see Dr Amy Jo. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

So, this place is basically a dental farm. Real talk- they're one of the few dental offices in the…read morearea that takes Medicaid or state child health insurance. Due to that, it can be a bit of a mad house with long waits. But- the staff are all exceedingly kind and upbeat, friendly and respectful. Like, exceptionally so. They do everything that needs to be done. Thorough exams with x rays and the dentist takes time to address any concerns. And despite the crush of people they serve, the place runs like a well oiled machine. The staff all seem to work well together and it seems like a happy work environment. Can't complain and they deserve some recognition.

I've spent over 10 years working as both a dental assistant and in dental management, and I can…read morehonestly say this was one of the most unacceptable experiences I have ever witnessed in a dental office. My son suffers from severe dental anxiety, and I made that abundantly clear to every member of the staff--from the front desk, to the hygienist, to Dr. Hodge. What should have been a simple procedure lasting less than an hour turned into well over two hours of unnecessary stress and trauma. During the procedure, my son repeatedly said he was having trouble breathing and was visibly distressed. Instead of stopping to assess the situation or reassure him, Dr. Hodge responded, "If you can yell, you can breathe." That level of dismissiveness toward an anxious child was completely unacceptable and immediately raised concerns about the care he was receiving. The X-rays showed small cavities on teeth #7 and #8, along with a natural gap between those teeth. By the end of the procedure, not only had his gums been cut, but the gap had been completely closed, leaving tooth #8 noticeably larger than #9. This is especially concerning considering he has already been referred to an orthodontist specifically for spacing issues. He walked into the office with a minor cavity and left with an altered smile that was never discussed or explained. The trauma didn't end there. As the dentist aggressively attempted to force floss between the teeth using a finishing strip, my son's gums bled excessively. There was blood throughout his mouth, and he was visibly uncomfortable. Then came the most disturbing part of the entire visit. After the procedure was complete, the dentist and assistant had already removed their gloves. My son asked for more water so he could rinse the blood from his mouth. The assistant then picked up the saliva ejector with her bare hands and proceeded as though she intended to place it back into my son's mouth, despite the active bleeding. As someone with extensive experience in dentistry, I was absolutely stunned. Basic infection control and cross-contamination protocols exist for a reason. This should never happen in any dental office. Even more alarming was that neither the assistant nor Dr. Hodge seemed to recognize this as a problem when it was brought to their attention. That lack of awareness is just as concerning as the act itself. I left this office angry, disgusted, and deeply disappointed. My child trusted this team to provide compassionate, competent care, and instead left traumatized. As a dental professional, I know exactly what I witnessed, and I know that it fell far below the standard of care and infection control that patients deserve. I would never recommend this office to anyone, especially parents of children with dental anxiety. This experience was unacceptable from start to finish.

My daughter started seeing this orthodontist last summer for braces, and the experience has been…read morephenomenal. As a parent, I typically dread any type of medical or dental appointment because, in my experience, we are often blindsided by unknown costs and long wait times. However, this office has completely changed my perspective. The staff, especially the front office team, are incredibly kind and responsive. Every time I make an appointment, I can count on my daughter being seen very quickly upon arrival without long wait times. I also really appreciate how transparent they are about costs--there are no surprises, which is such a relief. One of the things I find most impressive is their availability. Despite being a busy office, they always seem to have appointments open. On several occasions when my daughter has broken a bracket or had a loose wire, I've been able to call and get her in as soon as the next day--or even the same day! This level of responsiveness and care is rare and so appreciated. Thank you to the entire team for making what can often be a stressful experience so seamless and positive. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for an orthodontist!

Super clean and modern space - special "prizes" for kids. The waiting room has tablets for play while waiting and they give children balloons, stickers, and a prize (plus the regular dentist stuff - toothbrush, floss, paste). Most notable is the sincere care and quality of service - both the hygienist and dr were amazing! Plus, it's a HUGE added bonus that they make the experience not only tolerable but enjoyable for small children! 10/10!

This office is so clean and nicely furnished that I wouldn't mind living there. And I hate going…read moreto the dentist/doctor! It's called, "Advanced Oral & Facial Surgery" (I think she also does face lifts and botox). It's easy to find and you can park right in front of the building. I had to get 4 wisdom teeth extracted; I had never been put under before, so I was really nervous about surgery and recovery. I was especially anxious, because my friend had gotten hers extracted a week before, and her surgeon (somewhere up in Washington, D.C.) broke the tooth adjacent to the one he was extracting. I'd also read a bunch of scary online forums about dry sockets, vomiting and fainting after surgery. During consultation, Dr. Biggerstaff explained that the top wisdom teeth were close to the sinuses and the bottom wisdom teeth were close to nerves in the jaw area, but that she could fix it if she got the nerves or sinuses. Maybe I'm a masochist, but I like these things explained to me beforehand. I was having problems understanding my insurance, but the front desk was really patient and helpful. They are an out-of-network office, but it turns out that my in-network offices charged more anyway. I am healing nicely and very quickly, and I completely attribute that to the expertise of the oral surgeon. And as it turns out, Dr. Biggerstaff is the only female oral surgeon in Kernersville. Girl Power!!! I think the only thing that can be improved is their after-surgery instruction sheet, which, though very, very thorough and empathetic, reads funny in some spots. For example, it says, "...you should begin rinsing at least 5-6 times a day especially after eating with a cup of warm water mixed with a teaspoon of salt". This obviously is meant to say, "...you should begin rinsing at least 5-6 times a day with a cup of warm water mixed with a teaspoon of salt, especially after eating". Or as another example, "...the area should be kept clean especially after meals with salt water rinses or a toothbrush." (I don't eat meals with salt water rinses or with a toothbrush.) I can't recommend this office and this oral surgeon enough! Thank you!

I ltimately had to go to another oral surgeon to have him clean out my surgical site and start over with a 100% success rate. At one point, when she was putting new stitches in my mouth, she was chatting with her assistant about dying her daughter's hair, as if she were in a group knitting class. After the 2nd failed graft for an implant, she asked me what I was going to do next about? I paid her $8000.00 for a botched job. DO NOT USE HER!
