I visited Sage Dental at Doctors Village as a new patient, hoping to establish a long-term…read morerelationship with a dental practice in my neighborhood. First, I would like to commend the general dentist, dental hygienist, and dental assistant for their professionalism, courtesy, and quality of care. They were attentive, knowledgeable, and made me feel comfortable during my visit. I appreciated their efforts and have no complaints about the clinical staff. Unfortunately, my concerns arose from the office's administrative practices, particularly the referral process and unexpected costs. The general dentist examined me and documented a recommendation to have my wisdom tooth extracted. However, I was subsequently informed that I needed to consult with Sage Dental's oral surgeon and pay an additional $188 consultation fee. Having received dental care throughout my life, I found this process confusing. I fully understand that an oral surgeon may need to conduct an independent evaluation before performing surgery. However, I did not receive a satisfactory explanation of the additional fee, especially since the general dentist had already documented the need for extraction. I did not see any reason why OS needed to validate DDS's findings. I also was not provide any cost and was told I needed to go to the Dental Office where OS practiced. My disappointment is not with the dentist, hygienist, or dental assistant, whom I sincerely appreciate. Rather, it is with the lack of transparency and associated costs. I walked out of the office feeling confused and uncomfortable about proceeding with treatment. I had genuinely hoped to make Sage Dental my permanent dental provider. I am sharing this experience so other patients know to ask questions about specialist referrals, consultation fees, and insurance coverage before agreeing to additional appointments. I hope the practice will review these procedures, as its professional clinical staff deserve an administrative process that inspires the same level of confidence as the care they provide.

They charged…read morea "lab fee" of $195 which was not disclosed when making the appointment and the dentist did not even do a consult. He came in for 5 minutes and gave a suggested plan that was very different then our previous orthodontist had set. While I don't expect treatment plans to be exactly the same I would expect to be the same ballpark. Lastly we didn't even receive an actual consultation outside of the 5 minutes and they wanted to schedule an additional visit for the actual consultation. I know this is not standard in this area as all the other places I called did a free consult with the first visit. I had gone in expecting a free consult and did not receive that. We ended up going somewhere else who is much more transparent with their fees and services. The second star is only because the front office staff were very friendly and they're only doing their jobs so I can't blame them.

K I med my nasal cavity so my nose now runs all the time after he completed my surgery. He never read my notes before trying to start my surgery that I was supposed to be put in twilight. Just walked up and was getting ready to complete my surgery. I looked at him and said who are you? He said Dr stroud, I said why do I know you are here, he looked at me puzzled. During his surgery I threw up 4 times and I heard him say suction her throat and make sure there is nothing back there... I remember every crunching sound and more...when surgery was finally over they wheeled me out with a biohazard bag because I still felt nauseous. When I got to my car I needed to throw up and to no shock to me they NEVER gave me the biohazard bag to throw up in... so please DO NOT GIVE THIS OFFICE YOUR MONEY. Find an office that cares about patient care and respect of the patients time. Dr David would be So unhappy with how his legacy has changed. I should have put the pieces together when all of his staff left shortly after is unexpected passing. I have a 5 year contract for maintenance that I have paid for and this office is supposed to honor that. Since the dentist is still here. They have stated they are doing it as a courtesy. Marion spoke to me on 11/11/25 and notated that Dr Stroud is not to be in my room and today because I am standing ground I can no longer be seen here. To top it off Marion is stating she never spoke to me on 11/11/25, but my notes say I did as I have her name written down for reference. First of all I didn't pick this place for Dr Stroud, I picked it because of Dr David.

Dr. Cherry is truly a master. Our son was born with a cleft lip/palate and we had been working…read morewith Dr. Cherry for 5 years for our son's final surgery. This is in layman's terms, but the whole upper jaw had to be moved, lined up and wired. Our son really respected Dr. Cherry and trusted him implicitly. He also considered Dr. Cherry as someone he could talk to (a friend), and that was important for an 18 year old. Dr. Cherry didn't hold back, and explained everything to us and our son about the procedure. It really wasn't easy for an 18 year old to be laid up for a summer with his jaw wired shut, but Dr. Cherry called and checked up on our son many times. Our son looks so good and has a whole new profile, and we consider Dr. Cherry one of the very best. Dr. Cherry's staff is also very considerate - they are all very kind people who are concerned. We weren't a number coming in, but a family that was concerned about our son, and they were wonderful. One of the staff recently left, for personal reasons and we could not have done what we did without her help on insurance - she even gave me her personal cell number so I could call with concerns or questions. By the way, Dr. Cherry also gave us his cell to call at any time of the day or night. A great Doctor who is empathetic and concerned for his patients AND the parents. Thank you Dr. Cherry and staff for all that you do.

Needless to say, when I was informed by my regular dentist that my front tooth not only had to be pulled but may need a bone graft, I was in disbelief. Thankfully, I was referred to Dr. Bradley Cherry. After the first visit, I knew I was in the right place. They worked as a team to insure not only my medical needs were met but also made sure that I felt comfortable with the upcoming procedure. My surgery went great and I realized with the right doctor, oral surgery does not have to be scary. I had very little discomfort after my surgery and Dr. Cherry called me that night to make sure I was comfortable. I was so excited about my results and the fact that I can smile with confidence again. Dr. Cherry is a well respected surgeon with small town values. He is the one doctor that I do tell my friends about and have confidence without a doubt they will be just as satisfied as I was. Best doctor ever!

My husband talked me into coming here(an hour away) because I was looking for a new dentist. My…read moreexperience with Dr. Sanders and his team has thus far been impressive. The facility is nice, clean, quite pretty, and Christian music played in the background. Every person there, including the receptionist, made me feel as welcomed as possible. I felt important, and like they truly wanted me there. Being military, I've been to dentists across the country over the past 20+ years, none have been as kind and personable as this crew. They made an effort to get to know me and even joke around with me. They even remembered my husband's visit when I mentioned him. I've never felt so seen and pampered in a dentist office before. When it came to my teeth, I knew a lot of work needed to be done. So far, my out of pocket costs have been be approximately 70 percent less than Aspen tried to charge me. That being said, there was some kind of misunderstanding that almost made me call and cancel my next appt and find a new dentist. It was related to insurance coverage, which by the way, they are in network with United Concordia. With the extra work I needed, my insurance doesn't cover very much, so I was left paying a lot out of pocket(still much less than Aspen). I had a large filling from a molar crumble and turn back into a cavity, so they insisted on using porcelain for durability. Porcelain is very expensive and my insurance doesn't cover it, so that's where the confusion was. I was left wondering if they were in network because I'd never paid more than 30 dollars for a filling in my life. I didn't know there were different types of fillings, as I'm not a dentist. If I were to improve something about this office, I would have them send home an estimated and itemized list of service costs so that the client can have it in hand to review and organize financials prior to the next visit. From stepping foot inside for the first time, until I left, the team continuously checked to see how I was doing, made me feel as comfortable as possible, offered me a spirit-free cocktail, coffee, water, etc. They were gentle with my teeth, informative, answered every question I had thoroughly. The Dr. walked me up to reception after and made sure I was ok before leaving. I even received a hand written note in the mail with a small token of appreciation. I truly feel like Dr. Sanders and his team care about their patients. I do recommend their services to others and I'll be passing along their info to our military group.

I tried this place because it was closer than my original dentist I've been seeing every six…read moremonths. When I visited, they told me I had fifteen cavities. I was shocked. With that, they came up with a treatment plan, spent time calling my insurance and scheduling the next four appointments to treat. I was there over an hour and didn't get my teeth cleaned for my semi annual cleaning. Instead they wanted to do a $350 gum treatment - which I did agree to do and had done that day. At first, I blamed myself for not flossing enough, aging, maybe the medication I had taken over the last year. I also thought, maybe this dentist has better technology and can see my cavities. But I had some family and friends encourage me to get a second opinion - which I did and confirmed I didn't have fifteen cavities but only one. I hate to feel like I was taken advantage of in this situation, but I just don't know any other way to explain what happened here.

She and hygienist Stephanie were a dream to work with; teeth lightening, molds for whitening trays, molds for future nightguards, etc. Both of their calm demeanors carried through the entire process.
