Dr. Wiley has been my dentist for several years. I've been to many dentists in the past, including…read moresome that have told me I had problems only to get more money out of me. Dr. Wiley is definitely not like that. He is one of the most honest dentists I've ever been to. He only takes care of the problems that need to be focused on. He is thorough and straight to the point. He's more than happy to answer any questions you may have. He's also not afraid to send you to a specialist if you need it either. His staff is also fantastic! They've always been very friendly and helpful. I've never had a bad experience with the office workers or the dental assistants. When making an appointment, the staff gets you in quickly. And while there are patients going in and out all day long, I've never had to wait more than 15-20 minutes in the waiting room for my appointment. The entire process-from checking in, getting a cleaning, and paying-has never taken long for me. Dr. Wiley definitely doesn't seem like he likes to keep people waiting. A few years back, I went in to have an abscessed tooth check out and, after seeing how bad it was, they immediately fit me in the same day for a root canal. It was surprisingly painless! The best part was that evening, he called to check up on me and see how I was doing. He cares that much about his patients. Couldn't recommend enough!

Bit of a rocky start with my Motto aligners. Also a bit of a rocky start while they were having…read moreissues with their front office secretary. Have continued to have communication issues with the Motto Aligners representatives. Admittedly, my frustrations with Motto boiled over onto the Aspen Dental team. After I expressed my frustrations, they explained all the complications they have been having as well as their understanding of my own. Even with the rough start, I would recommend Aspen Dental Farmington. With that being said, while getting work done the vibe is super chill. The Dentists played alternative rock (which I love) and was just having a great time. The hygienist is super informative and straight forward with how you need to continue your care. The motto worker in office has been my saving grace. She has been incredibly patient and helpful. She even contacted other offices and found a better way to keep my attachments from falling off. With an unsteady start, this office has been super accommodating and helpful. I would recommend this office to anyone.

I took my 76 year old mother to the aspen dental in Farmington Mo. She broke a tooth and is a…read moregreat deal of pain. She went In for her visit and was told by Dr Makhdom that he would not just pull a tooth. He had to treat the whole mouth. I understand that, but not removing the broken tooth and trying to hijack her into a bunch of implants she doesn't want or need does nothing for her pain. If being rude and not helping is what you guys are trying to accomplish, well done! We will not be back to Aspen. I just wanted to let you know that the dentist at this location needs to have some kind of attitude adjustment.

Okay, this is a long post, but I want everyone to be aware of these types of scams:…read more Before I went to Farmington Family Dental, I called and asked if they accept Medicare (I am 70 years old). The person on the telephone said yes. I was elated and loved the office employees. They were kind and gentle. I decided to get Invisalign in order to improve my smile. The same day, one of the associates told me that my insurance would not pay toward this process. I said I understand, trusting that they would not lie to me. I, while watched over and guided by an associate, applied and received $6000 for the Invisalign which went straight to the office. I received my Invisalign trays and went for cleanings monthly, thinking, all the while, that they were not charging me because it was part of the $6000 plan. After 6 months, I received a text that said if I didn't sign a form stating that all insurance issues are between my dentist and me. I didn't understand why I was suddenly asked to sign this form. When I questioned this, the associate stated that it was just something new that they were trying out. I complied. The hygienist then asked if she could take X-rays. I stated that she should do whatever is necessary for my dental health. After, about 10 x-rays, the dentist came into the room and looked at my teeth. He then asked the hygienist if she noticed anything when she cleaned my teeth. She responded, "No". He then stated that I have a cracked tooth. I thought that it was odd that the hygienist did not notice a cracked tooth when she was cleaning my teeth. Before I left, my "case manager" called me into a room to discuss payment for the x-rays and cap for my cracked tooth. She told me that she was concerned because my insurance was not going to pay and she went to talk to the insurance representative. She then came back in and asked me if I could go back in the next day, so that they could look further into the insurance situation. When I went in, the next day, she stated that the charge for the x-rays was $298. Of course, the cap was going to be much, much higher. She wanted me to sign a contract and pay. I burst into tears and asked why my insurance was not paying. She went to get the office manager who told me that she has a recording of a telephone conversation where I stated that I knew that they were out of network. This is a lie. Of course, she never played any recording for me to hear. I paid the $298 and stated that I would no longer be visiting their office for dental work but would continue to come for orthodontist appointments because of the $6000 loan that they had me take out. When I returned home, I called my Medicare provider Delta Dental. The representative told me that they lied and Delta Dental would have paid $1500 toward the Invisalign and for my x-rays and cleanings. So they were scamming me to take my money. I completed my Invisalign visits about a month later and still owe over $5000 to the loan company. I am working toward recourse action.
