The initial phone call was very simple and I was able to schedule an appointment for an initial visit and cleaning and they also emailed the documents to complete prior to my visit so that I could be prepared beforehand. When we arrived, there was plenty of parking available outside. We were greeted by a friendly woman at the front desk and were able to quickly check-in and hang over our paperwork. The kids were able to play with the toys and they lit up once they saw the gaming space (one tv had Minecraft and the other had a Super Mario game.) Every single dental assistant and hygienist was VERY friendly and just so sweet and welcoming. They were so kind to my 3 year old daughter who joined me for the appointment and even included her (she has never been to a dentist just yet). Dr. Shoemaker is awesome! So bubbly and friendly, he came in and greeted us, started chatting with my son and instantly made him feel comfortable. We never once felt rushed or out of place. It was very warm and happy experience for both of my kiddos! My son's cleaning and exam was successful, then they allowed both kids to pick out a prize and even gave them balloons. They were ecstatic! Check-out was very simple and I was able to schedule our next appointments. They provide both text reminder and email reminder about appointments. Absolutely recommend 10/10. What a wonderful dentist office!

I raised concerns multiple times about my daughter's cavity, and it was not handled with the urgency it clearly required. Now her condition has become severe--she has developed a cyst on her gum, and the tooth is badly damaged. This did not happen overnight. This was something that should have been addressed sooner. As a parent, it is extremely upsetting to see your child suffer when you trusted a provider to do their job. This experience has completely broken my trust in this office. I would not feel comfortable recommending this dentist to other parents. Please advocate for your child and consider getting a second opinion.

This guy is an unprofessional dentist & more importantly a CROOK. On my 7-year-old daughter's first…read morevisit yesterday, he tells my wife she needs to have 4 teeth pulled. Why on earth does a 7-year-old need teeth pulled that are going to naturally purge themselves from her mouth anyway? My child heard his unscrupulous recommendation and scared her to tears! Not only are his recommendations questionable, his conduct was very unprofessional as my wife shared with me he acted like he and my wife were best friends--I guess this was his attempt to woo her into trusting him. Furthermore, you are a REGULAR dentist dude--not an oral surgeon, not an orthodontist--a PLAIN OLD REGULAR dentist who probably graduated bottom of his class. What this fool doesn't know is, my daughter saw a highly credentialed orthodontist before coming to his office, & she didn't recommend teeth being pulled! Our son is ending his time with braces on and didn't have to have a single tooth pulled. In fact, this orthodontist recommended, "my daughter have some more teeth come out, and bring her back for a second evaluation." It seems he & his practice like to prey on Medicaid recipients. My assumption is, he doesn't think people on Medicaid are very bright. Stay far away from this unscrupulous piece of s--t. Just because somebody has letters in front of or behind their name or they brandish a degree on the wall of their office doesn't mean they're knowledgeable or trustworthy. Stay far away from this person. In my opinion, he needs his license revoked--he doesn't deserve to be called a doctor.

I am giving this office one star due to concerns regarding due diligence and billing integrity…read more After checking my daughter in for a routine cleaning, I was informed that there was a $51 balance remaining from her previous visit for a sealant. I explained that I had not been told at the prior appointment that the sealant was not covered by insurance. Because the receptionist was new, another staff member stepped in to assist. I was initially told that insurance companies sometimes list services as covered on their websites when they are not. I was then told the $51 was part of my deductible and that my insurance only covered 80% of the sealant. After receiving multiple explanations, I requested to review the actual paperwork to verify the information being provided. Once the paperwork was printed and reviewed, I was informed that the previous information was incorrect. It was clarified that the office is only permitted to bill my insurance a certain contracted amount, and the sealant was, in fact, covered. Had I not asked to see the documentation, I would have paid a balance that my insurance had already covered. Additionally, I never received a copy of the paperwork I requested. I strongly encourage parents and patients to review their billing statements carefully and request documentation when there are discrepancies. Transparency and accuracy in billing are essential, and patients should not have to advocate this hard to ensure they are being charged correctly.

He is very professional, polite, again all questions answered. I did not feel like one of many patients. I never felt rushed. I felt as though I was given all the attention needed.

We chose Orthodontic Care of Georgia (North Georgia Orthodontics on the building). When we departed Maryland, my son's orthodontist stated he only had a month or two left for treatment. Fast forward to May 2018, we asked the North Georgia orthodontist how much longer, as we have been paying monthly for two years. When asked we were told another 3 years!!! What?!? Why would it take 6 years for braces? No thank you, his teeth look the same as they did in Maryland. To have them removed, it cost us $998 ($600 of that amount is the fee to break the contract) and no that amount doesn't include the retainers...that's another $600. Our advice, find another orthodontist! I used McClendon Orthodontics and I started my braces 4 months after my son and got them off in November 2017.
