    Wonderful man. Brilliant, kind, friendly (if you need that). Again they took me right away and…read moretreated me so kindly. No extra charges. Just great people.

    My initial review of this office was very positive. I had been a patient elsewhere, and upon coming…read morehere, I was immediately impressed with the technology. Fast, non-invasive x-rays, the ability to fabricate crowns in-house, huge staff...felt like it was a step in the right direction. Fast forward to now, and I feel differently. I had one crown done, as a tooth had cracked. I was given a $1,000 estimate with the standard disclaimer that I'll be responsible for the actual amount. No problem, I know the drill, as I have had dental work done in the past. The problem was their "estimate" was 100% off, and now I'm being asked to pay $2,000 for a crown that was supposed to be $1,000. From my perspective, if my job was to deal with insurance companies on a daily basis and I had hundreds of patients and thousands of EOBs, I should be able to get closer than being half-way to the actual price. I can't help but feel like I was taken advantage of. Had I known the actual price, I likely would have shopped around and had the work done elsewhere. On my next cleaning visit, the dentist told me I needed something like 6 or 7 MORE crowns. How many of those are medically necessary, and how many are to add billable income, since they cost so much more than insurance covers, AND can be done in-house?

    I have been very impressed with Brightwood Dental; this was my third visit, and it is one of my all…read moretime favorites. The staff are all so professional and friendly. Most recently, I had a cleaning with Olivia and I was very impressed with how well-informed she was, and also how painless the cleaning was; I don't think I've ever had a cleaning that was so carefully performed. A lot of times while they are scraping, they nick your gums, but on this visit, I came home with absolutely ZERO gum reaction. The same holds true with the filling I had performed by Dr. Milch - She and a technician worked in lock-step, and everything went so smoothly and perfectly, I was extremely impressed. I did have a billing glitch with them (related to x-rays) but they refunded the excess. Overall, I am very happy to have found Brightwood!

    What an awful experience I had at this dental office. I…read moredrove to my appointment today and paid my copay. The hygienist was late and I had a busy day. She offered to reschedule me for the next morning and to waive the $50 appointment cancellation fee. However, as soon as I left the office they started messaging me asking me to pay the fee. When I communicated with them about this fee being waived, they refused to honor what the hygienist had told me. When I politely questioned this, they promptly dismissed me as a patient. I am in shock and deeply upset by this whole situation. I will attach our communications as an image, to warn off potential future patients.

    Wow. Have read some of the critiques on Doc Burbach's chairside manner and I think that is part of…read morehis charm. I definitely would rather have his stories than the sound of the drill and just silence. I guess to each his own... but it kind of made me sad to read the judgment. I look forward to the chats. He is one of the good guys!

    I found Dr. Burbach by reading his reviews and visiting his informative office web page. I'd just…read morehas an unfortunate time with my last dentist. Dr. Burbach's reviews were great except for one lady who thought he talked to much to his office staff but his work itself was fine. I decided to give him a try. I had no problem at all. Dr. Burbach is a very robust person and does love a good conversation but he kept me feeling entertained and included while I was in the chair. There's a real camaraderie in the office that I love. His hygenicists were cheerful, calm and seemed really informed. They told me that short of a cleaning, a few fillings and a root canal found on the X-rays I had no real need of the expensive deep cleanings my former dentist was advocating. The office staff gave me the overall cost which was thousands of dollars less than what my previous dentist wanted to charge me. Dr. Burbach did my root canal expertly and is working to help me keep my bridges rather than replace them. He worked with and saved what was there which I really appreciated. If I do eventually need to replace them. I am happy he'll be there to do it. He also fixed up a slight discoloration in one of my front teeth from an old bonding and did not charge me. I think he did it out of the goodness of his heart because he could see it was bothering me. The office is comfortable.. homey, with pretty views out the windows. I'd recommend Dr. Burbach to anyone but be prepared for a fun and funny dentist who really knows his stuff and can talk about anything under the sun. He does all procedures that can be done in the office himself and doesn't farm you out to other specialists. When I called after hours one day, I got Dr. Burbach's voice and a personal number where I could call him if I needed to after hours. Dr. Burbach gets my vote. Best dentist ever.. 5 Stars!!
