Jim S Gardner Ks I…read morestarted seeing Dr. Strutz in 2006. My Dentist recommended that I seek out a periodontist to treat my gums. I work in Shawnee, KS and I found Dr. Strutz and made an appointment. I found him to be very informative as to my options regarding treatment. I elected to have the surgery done and follow up with maintenance twice a year. I see my regular dentist also twice a year. Dr Strutz keeps my dentist updated to my condition which he finds very helpful in maintaining the on going oral health of my teeth and gums. I would strongly recommend Dr. Strutz if you are in need of this procedure.

I always appreciate how flexible he is with his appointments as I travel quite a distance and sometimes have to reschedule. His office is always very pleasant and the conversation is always great. I know going to the dentist is not anyone's favorite thing to do but it certainly makes it a lot nicer to work with such a wonderful professional. Thank you doctor Strutz and I'll see you in 3 months

This practice was not recommended by my dentist but was on an approved in-network list by my…read moreinsurance. I visited for a consultation and a treatment plan was made. However, it took months of back and forth with me calling my insurance because their office kept saying my insurance had not gotten back to them. My insurance had documented reaching out to them multiple times. I normally do not have to contact my insurance because the service provider who is in-network does that. In addition, I had to call so many times just trying to pay them but for my portion of the initial consultation. They could only accept payments for one location on certain days and if I didn't get through to them we played phone tag again and again. As of today I wasn't able to use my FSA funds I specifically set aside for this type of procedure, lost several thousand because I couldn't line the whole process up with another service provider in time. I know my responsibility, I know my failing, but this is a service provider didn't provide professional service and who made it much harder on me than I usually experience. And their cost with insurance, was commensurate with another provider I'd gone to prior who was out-of-network. So this wasn't a savings, and in the end it was a loss and I still need the treatment. So I wanted others to be aware.

For my scheduled appointments, they have been prompt in seeing me without delay. Dr. Akers is outstanding and in my opinion she goes above and beyond with not only showing care but with providing education about whatever you may be experiencing. I would certainly recommend them.

Following a very traumatic experience with my former dentist, I'm embarrassed to admit that, up…read moreuntil December, it had been at least 5 years since I'd been to the dentist. I take care of my teeth (ok, ok, I don't floss), but I haven't been maintaining them because I was afraid to go back to the dentist -- any dentist. Add to that the fact that I apparently am incapable of picking up a phone and calling to make an appointment, and things were getting rough. Turns out not ONLY is Dr. Carol Akers and the team members at her practice, In Harmony Dental Care, able and willing to communicate via text message, email or phone (whatever works for you), they're also all kind, responsive, courteous, bi-lingual, and just generally pretty amazing. My first visit in December was for a cleaning and check-up. First impressions: clean, comfortable office; state-of-the-art equipment; friendly staff; good, calming music playing; and they paid attention. Before m hygienist brought Dr. Akers in, I had told her that I had a bad experience previously. When Dr. Akers came into the room, she asked about it, validated my concerns, and talked about how we could communicate and work with one another to make sure I always felt safe. Following the exam, it was evident that the 5 years away from regular check-ups had taken their toll (the pain in my mouth had kinda hinted at that). Dr. Akers explained everything I needed to have done and ballparked me an overall cost, but scheduled a brief consult follow-up so that she could work up a full plan to review with me. A week later we met in the office and she reviewed my entire prioritized care plan (can't wait, can wait, let's keep an eye on this) and the estimated price and then we compared that against my dental insurance and my financial situation and adjusted so that we could be sure that I maximized my annual dental plan and minimized my out of pocket cost. We've started working on the plan and every visit has been almost completely pain free and, believe it or not, relaxing. She hums when she works and I always giggle a little and she apologizes. With my mouth full of stuff, I try to assure her that my giggles are in appreciation of the calming that her sweet hums provide. When she can't find another tune to catch her fancy, she turns to Christmas carols. And I love it. I had a lot of visits between December and February, but now I'm done with my work for a bit. Not gonna lie, when I was leaving after my last visit, I felt a little sad and knew that I was going to miss Dr. Akers and her team until I get to come back in for my next cleaning. They take every precaution to ensure the office is safe during the pandemic, including wearing ALL the PPE and having the office thoroughly disinfected every night. If you have dental anxiety, want to be treated with consideration and compassion, and want your mouth to feel healthy again, please go see Dr. Akers and her team. You'll be glad you did.

Great doctor, great staff, ethical billing and collections practices…read more Dr. Daniel Thomas was great, very personable, thorough, and answered my questions with patience. His communication was optimal before, during, and after my procedure, and his assistant was fabulous. Billing: I was quoted wrong (only quoted coinsurance) and (embarrassingly enough) didn't have a valid card with me to pay for the deductible that was not quoted. I was still allowed to check in without paying for my full deductible. I did however have to place my (inactive) card on file for future charges and signed a form stating the date they would withdrawal.
