Filing our dental insurance and using our flex medical spending account has always been seamless with the competent staff at checkout. If you are looking for a dentist in Raleigh, I highly recommend Dr. Ashley Lloyd.

This update ONLY applies to Dr. Deliz-Guzman and his medical team…read more When I rebooked my surgery, I told Tarheel Perio I wanted a different surgeon. If there had been no one else available, I would have run away. Dr. D-G was the doctor I spoke to weeks before when he was the on-call doctor. He's the one who actually told me to start taking antibiotics before the procedure (first attempt). We decided that since my pain level was off the charts last time, this time it would be done under partial anesthesia. I 95% had a good experience with him and his team. Again, I was expected to sign forms I was given at the last possible moment. My general dentist explained that it's actually common practice!?!?! Apparently, this is done to save paper & ink, because so many procedures are cancelled. WTF? Deny patients essential medical and legal docs until minutes (no exaggeration) before being cut up in order to save paper! You know what else saves paper but ALSO is good patient care? Posting the docs on Tarheel Perio's website like other periodontists in the US do!! Patients can read vital information and ponder the risks at their leisure, ask the doctors questions if needed, etc. In signing papers last minute, I was accepting risks of complications I couldn't understand or pronounce. And like the first doctor, Dr. DG underplayed the pain/recovery aspect a bit. Maybe all his other patients WERE able to return to work the next day. It took me weeks. Maybe all his other patients DID feel as if the graft donor site was just like a bad too-hot-pizza & cheese-burn. To ME, it felt like I'd been sucking on a red-hot poker. That lasted quite a while. I was referring to Dr. DG below regarding how I didn't get post-op instructions until I was being wheeled out. My husband videotaped it just so I could watch it later. I was still out of it. Because he got info last minute, we had to pay way too much money for grocery delivery give me a variety of food to eat. We also had to borrow a blender last minute to purée everything. Or she'll out $60! With the exception of the shady 'environmental' practice of withholding patients' crucial info until the morning of, and the practice of giving post-op info verbally, post surgery - I did have a great experience with Dr.D-G. When I was going in for the procedure, he explained the equipment and what each thing would do. He covered what he and his staff would be doing. He made sure all my questions were answered. As they were injecting chemicals and hooking me up to strange equipment, he briefly covered again what it was & why it was important. Maybe this type of surgery is CALLED partial anesthesia, but I don't remember a thing! Fortunately. PRE & POST OP with Dr. DG: When my husband called with questions, they answered the phone or called back. Not a single auto text! After leaving the facility, patient care continued to be great. Even if the team was in surgery, a human answered phone calls and let you know how long it would be to hear from his team. This human accurately relayed messages, so the caller who contacted us later had answers, instead of asking us to go over everything again. I would like to thank Kiara, their surgery coordinator. She bent forwards, backwards and did cartwheels to get me what I needed. She responded to emails quickly. She got me info I needed afterwards. I actually sent her flowers afterwards because she was amazing. So to summarize- Tarheel Periodontics is a mixed bag. Dr. K and Rudy = bad. Dr. D-G = great. Dr. Kretchmer either didn't listen, didn't confirm or didn't believe I'm sensitive to pain. His surgical fumbling forced me to endure an excruciating experience, mentally and physically. At least Dr. K respected my wish to not be hugged, after he offered. Unlike his ginormous team member, Rudy, who came looming over me minutes later in the hall. Reaching for me with the wingspan of a B-52, forcing me to walk backwards, putting my hands and knee in front to guard me. After that encounter, I kept my back to the wall whenever he was around. Juuuust in case he wasn't listening to me turn down 'hugs' the second time, either. I appreciate Dr. D-G's team, who refrained from attempting inappropriate touching. TL;DR- Dr. DG and his team - (Yelp deleted my happy emojis) -AWESOME- WONDERFUL-WOULD ABSOLUTELY USE AGAIN Dr. K and assistant Rudy - I'd rather wear dentures than let them touch me (in any way) again. (Yelp also deleted my puking emojis)

I was referred to the Fuquay-Varina location by my general dentist for an 8mm periodontal pocket…read more What should have been a straightforward consultation turned into one of the worst medical experiences I've had. First, they insisted on running X-rays they already had from my referring dentist. Then the real pressure started. They would not let me leave the office without scheduling surgery and putting down a deposit. I was not given a treatment plan until I verbally agreed to "consider" the work. The quote was $10,000, insurance covered $2,500, and they expected the remaining $7,500 out of pocket with no write-off. I have a documented sound sensitivity and specifically asked about sedation options -- what would be used, would I feel anything. No one in the office could give me a clear answer. Despite this, they continued pushing me to commit on the spot. The pressure triggered an anxiety attack, and there was zero attempt to accommodate or de-escalate. After the visit, a staff member named Amber called to follow up despite my explicit request not to contact me by phone. She ignored my boundary and told me she would "follow up Friday" and repeated that I "need this." This practice prioritizes billing over patient care. If you're being referred here, get a second opinion first. I refused the deposit and I'm glad I did.

It's been awhile since I last went to the dentist .... probably about 4 years. As a hot tea drinker (having been raised in a former British colony) my teeth showed the stains. My parent (thankfully) weren't as derelict in my dental care as I've been. Having had a truly awful dental experience at the hands of a Navy dentist, I've avoided dental visits like the plague unless absolutely necessary. Having worked on a production of Little Shop of Horrors didn't help! The folks at Adams & Cheek Dentistry changed my perception! They were thorough, explaining every step of the way, sensitive to my discomfort threshold, gentle, presented me with a course of treatment, looked out for my financial liability and provided quality service at a fair price. Mt favorite question is "What is the value proposition?" Parents: teach your children young to tak care of their teeth and to not dread a visit to the dentist. Take care of your own teeth .... Lead by Example. Make it a family thing!

From a first-time routine dental visit, many aspects of this experience seemed off, almost like a…read moredentist office version of The Shining, whether the overstaffed reception, the capacious lobby devoid of patients, or the inordinately long paperwork, waivers, and acknowledgements to complete. The office was richly adorned, including a salt water aquariums right next to my dental chair, and the office is equipped with the latest expensive tech. Does any of this translates to better dental service? In my opinion, the answer is "no" - and I couldn't help wondering how all these costs are recouped. I only came in for a cleaning. I left sorely disappointed; the hygienist just flossed my teeth, an activity I do better on my own at home. No polishing, no scrapping, no need to rinse my mouth and spit out the water. Nothing! I had an x-ray of my teeth taken, after which the hygienist left to retrieve the dentist. At least 15 minutes passed, maybe longer. Mind you, I saw no other patient in the office and I easily made the appointment the day before; the delay. Honestly, I opined there was no basis for the delay, the time could have been used for the cleaning I came in for, and all this pissed me off. The dentist then made his entrance. Though I was a new patient, he kept interaction to a minimum and was otherwise reserved and unfriendly. Although I like almost everyone, I didn't like the way he spoke to me with a degree of condescension that he barely concealed. After briefly checking out my teeth with a sickle probe - I did not see him use the mouth mirror - consulting the x-ray. he gave me a $3,000 worth of dental treatment that required his immediate attention or else I'd have to get a root canal. His attempt to show me on the screen the location of the cavity - a dark shading that I noticed on other teeth - was unconvincing. I simply did not trust his diagnosis. When I refused treatment, the office wanted me to sign an acknowledgement regarding the same. The whole experience was absolutely horrible and a complete waste of time!

This is the best dental practice I have ever been to. Dr. Washington has been providing dental care…read morefor 6 years (2017) due to problems caused by endodontic (not periodontic) issues. Dr. Washington saved my teeth whereas other providers provided estimates from 15k to 25k to pull teeth and place implants. Again - Dr. Washington saved my teeth. As a long time patient, I can attest that the office staff are ALL amazing. Well trained, caring, concerned and they all go above and beyond in providing dental care. Katie, Ashley, Regina, Kelly, Carolyn, and the rest of the staff are so caring and supportive and go the extra mile to provide excellent service to patients. Katie T. helped me through a very difficult dental situation recently, for which I am most grateful. She is nothing short of outstanding. Severe dental issues can be scary. The dental assistants generously share their wealth of expertise so patients understand the issues, feel comfortable, know what to expect, and know how to best care for their dental issues outside the office. Dr. Washington himself is extremely kind, compassionate, and really looks out for his patients. He has seen me on an emergency basis on multiple occasions. He has gotten me in for emergency procedures. Dr. Washington is always concerned about his patients. He even had his office call and check on patients to make sure they were okay and see if they needed anything before the office closed three weeks for construction. (Ashley said they would have no electricity or water during construction.) Dr. Washington has his patient's best interests at heart. He will tell you the honest truth. His focus is to preserve teeth, with the most conservative approach possible. They have certainly been good to me and I am grateful for all they have done for me. I count myself lucky to be Dr. Washington's patient. I recommend Dr. Washington and his staff 1000%!!
