| - If these guys were working out of the back of a pick-up truck, I'd still give them four stars just for getting my tooth out of my head.
The pain I was in for a three days straight was so terrible that I wanted to drive my vehicle into an embankment or a semi. No joke.
I was referred here by my own dentist and the process was smooth. The only thing that was inconvenient was having to waste one day for just a consultation instead of getting that friggin' tooth out that day. But that's just procedure I guess.
As far as bedside manner and the front office warmth...it was great. The girls in the front were all very friendly and courteous in that 'required' sort of way. But they were all very cute, too.
The doc's assistant was great and very conversational.
The doc himself was informative, patient, and friendly enough. But most of all, he was good at what he does - pulling evil teeth out of your head.
They made sure I was well informed of how to prep myself for surgery the next day. And more importantly, they went over my financial options and responsibilities quite thoroughly. I was completely prepared and knew what to expect in all aspects of everything.
The surgery went great. I got the anesthetic pumped into my arm painlessly, and the whole process was done in under 30 minutes. I got wheeled out to the car and my escort was given proper instructions.
A lot of people are afraid of the dentist. But its really the things that are wrong with our teeth that we should be afraid of. The dentist is just there to fix the problem. And yeah, it can hurt. But that is what the difference is in a good dentist and an ok one - the way they put you at ease. And this one did a decent enough job at that. And like I said, I got anesthetic so there wasn't any pain.
They seem to take most insurance...mine is United Health, so... The prices was under $300 for 3 extractions and the anesthetic, but of course that has to do with what your insurance covers and how much of it.
So why not 5 stars?
Because its the dentist.
