My husband and I are new to the Low Country and when I found myself with an urgent need for (what I…read morethought was) one tooth extraction I didn't know what to do. I called Howard Family Dentistry (at the advice of our Insurance Provider) mid morning (just after 10am) and explained my plight to Kimber who verbally hugged me while walking me through what I needed to do to be seen there ASAP! By 1:30pm I was lying in a chair of the very skillful and compassionate Dr. Barnard's! Dental assistant Naty was very kind and gentle while securing numerous x-rays of my teeth. Dr. Bernard came in to let me know what he found in my xrays and his treatment recommendations with me. Once I gave him the "go ahead" Catherine arrived with paperwork that explained my associated costs. She too was incredibly friendly! I am aware that Catherine does not have the easiest position of bringing "total charges" to a patient but she was very warm about it and that meant a lot to me. As it turned out I had to have not one, but two teeth extracted. Dr Bernard thoroughly answered every single one of my questions/concerns and quelled all of my fears. He is, without a doubt, the most gentle surgeon, and caring Dentist that I have ever visited in my almost five decades of dental care!! From the moment of my initial phone call with Kimber to when I left the office with my mouth full of gauze, I just wanted to hug each and every one of the staff because they make you feel like family! If you have any dental needs please don't think twice, go to Howard Family Dental. These folks are magnificent, all of them!! Thank you Dr. Bernard for your caring expertise!! And thank you ladies, Kimber, Naty, and Catherine for all of your kindness today!! I promise you that I WILL spread the word about you!! Sending you ALL a giant hug full of thanks!!

They stand firmly on their theft! Offering no explanation other than they don't have a hygienist. The first time we tried to use their family plan these unprofessional jerk's literally turned my teenaged child into the streets, falsey claiming we did not pay for services. I had to produce receipts that we had paid them. They knew we paid them and they refused services. These are poorly disguised thieves! Horrible service and fully unapologetic and rude. Please do NOT EVER CONSIDER this practice. They have dropped the ball on taking care of our family every step of the way. Aweful and shameful... They are completely without dignity or shame...

I went a year between teeth cleanings (because I was without insurance through a job transition) so…read moreI was eager to get my teeth cleaned this summer. They had a great introductory offer for new patients, $59 for full exam, xrays, teeth cleaning, etc. I was ecstatic. The visit started off fine, the office is very clean and the staff is friendly. I had my teeth cleaned after my x-rays and the assistant went to get the dentist. He did a full exam on my mouth and informed me I had over 15 cavities in my mouth. I was in complete shock - I had gone a year without dental work, but I am an avid teeth brusher twice daily. I had only had two cavities in 25 years, and very minor ones at that. I couldn't believe that so much changed over one year. I was obviously very upset and the dentist told me not to worry, just have my insurance submitted and we could work out the rest. It turns out that all of the dental work was supposed to cost me $2,400, with insurance only covering $1,000. He told me it was imperative I have these cavities filled as soon as possible and I have this done over a four-appointment process. I was extremely upset but made the appointments anyway. I was discussing my predicament with a coworker, who told me this sounded a little fishy, maybe I should get a second opinion. I went to a different local dentist for a full exam: turns out I have ZERO cavities in my mouth. He did a full exam, x-rays, the whole nine yards. I told him he must be mistaken because this other man told me my mouth is full of cavities. This new dentist, who has been in business on the island for over 20 years, said he has 100% confidence in his diagnosis that my teeth have no cavities. I don't know what kind of scam they are trying to pull over at this office, but when I tried to call the office and discuss this with the dentist who saw me, I never heard back. I am not surprised that he would try to tack on extra dental work after only charging $59 for full cleaning, xrays, etc. (those costs can sometimes add up to $200). Maybe he is making up for the discount in other ways, like charging non suspecting customers like myself with thousands of dollars of unnecessary dental work. I wouldn't know, because I don't hear back from him! Buyer beware.

Not sure how a business expects to expand by accepting new patients if they can't return messages…read moreleft...
