Trip to dentist leads to unexpected diagnosis!…read more The wife and I left Macon 10 yrs ago. Dr Shah had been our dentist and helped my wife with gum issues. Well we just got back to town and my wife saw Dr Shah again after a decade. Of course Dr Shah remembered her condition vividly. After the examination Dr Shah stepped back and said "whooaa." The issue had come back but more aggressively than before. She had seen advance periodontal disease but what could explain such rapid deterioration? She started asking my wife questions. Some that had nothing to do about teeth at all. Long story short.... She told to follow up with an MD. At first the doctor's office did not want to schedule us because we would not have insurance for another 6 weeks or so. I had called several doctors in Macon and not a single one would see us with out insurance. You know what my dentist did? She called, spoke with the doctor, would not take no for an answer and got us in. An MRI later a tumor was found wrapped around my wife's pituitary gland. That is going to be addressed soon and we are hopeful for a bright future. Dr Shah and that staff are simply the best at what they do.

I was in-between insurance plans but needed a dentist. One of my crowns had fallen off. It was…read morebecause of online research that I choose Dr. Shah - Macon Smiles. The cost to reattach my crown was very reasonable and they also did a general exam. I now have dental insurance and still visit this practice. Everyone is so nice, genuinely polite and cares about your well-being. I have never waited over 10 minutes to be seen. The reception area is immaculate and usually decorated for any upcoming holiday. The treatment rooms are also pristine. If you stop by the ladies room, there are free toothbrushes and mouthwash should you need to rinse before the dentist is in your mouth. There are a lot of dentists between my house and Macon Smiles, but I will gladly travel the 30 minutes to get this professional, kind and experience service.

We made appointments for teeth cleaning. One of us was self-pay, the other had coverage with…read moreMedicare Advantage/United Healthcare that covers cleanings 100%. In advance we took an antibiotic required for teeth cleaning due to medical conditions. When we got there, the office-quoted cost for self-pay doubled to over $400.00 because of added x-rays. That was declined by the patient. For the Medicare Advantage patient, a bone density probe was done and multiple x-rays; then they presented us with an estimated cost of deep cleaning for around $140.00. No cleaning was given. Antibiotics taken for nothing! We never had this kind of experience under the previous owner of North Macon Dental. Very disappointed - feels like a bait and switch kind of experience.

Although it wasn't an emergency or anything I really appreciated the quick appointment. Walked in and was greeted by the receptionist and Dr. Othman, himself. Very nice staff and make sure you print out the paperwork from their website and have it filled out prior to arrival. Dental Hygienist was very very thorough in explaining each step of the teeth cleaning process. She worked very efficiently (though it took about 45-50 minutes due to my stains)! Very informative and reassuring on diff. Issues I had noticed with my teeth. She was also able to provide a lot of suggestions on sensitivity paste and teeth whitening. Dr. Othman was also very reassuring and very profession with exceptional bedside manner. They make coming to the dentist enjoyable! Highly recommend.

SEEK AN OPTOMETRIST ANYWHERE ELSE. At my appointment, I was told I had to get a special test done…read morebut have to drive an hour to another location, as they can't do testing at their office in Macon. When I called to ask Dr. Earls more questions before scheduling the exam, I was told she was with a patient - she never called me back. I called back a week later to ask for Courtney, who never seems to be in the office, and again was told Dr Earls would call me - she never did. After 3 phones and tomorrow being THREE WEEKS, I STILL have not heard from their office AT ALL. Today I called a final time and was told by the receptionist that it wasn't "a doctor day," that Courtney isn't in, and then told that Dr Earls would be out ALL week for Spring Break (NOT what the receptionist originally said). I'm obviously being given the run around, and after spending close to $1,000 for their overpriced glasses and sunglasses at my last appointment. Dr Earls is excellent...IF you can see her in person. She doesn't return phone calls, neither does Courtney, apparently, and the receptionist doesn't seem to want to help pass on messages, as she gives the run around when explaining where the two primary employees are at any given time of the workday. After years with this company, and already being frustrated with the high prices, this was the final straw. Our family will be finding an optometrist and eyeglass company that respects and corresponds with customers in a timely fashion. I DO NOT recommend DePoe for these reasons.
