I was blown away by Dr. Hayes and his staff at Joplin Dental Care. He is an exceptional dentist,…read morewho takes the time to explain every procedure thoroughly, is very supportive and understanding about any fears or concerns, and best of all, his work is phenomenal. I have been treated by several dentists over the years, and never have I felt so comfortable and at ease as when I visit Joplin Dental Care. The office staff were very knowledgable about all questions that I had, his hygienist treated me as a friend, rather than just "another client" to see before the end of the day, and Dr. Hayes truly cares about his patients. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone!

My experience was not positive. I chose this dentist because of the technology but it was not…read morenecessarily a plus. I found his energy very chaotic and there was never enough time to properly evaluate what I needed. Everytime I was at an appointment it was rushed. I had a filling done and was in pain for months. Everytime something was being "Fixed" it just made things worse and more costly procedures were recommended to me. You are meant to have fillings for years but the doctor can't even totally focus on you while you are there for an hour. This lack of attention caused a lot of problems for me. 8 months later I am still in pain and can't eat properly. I have had to go to another dentist and spend thousands of dollars to attempt to fix all that was done to me. I was not even given the courtesy of having my questions answered. He has never had any fillings done, so the doctor does not even know how it feels to have tooth pain and does not have a good bedside manner. I would ask alot of questions and if they are not answered, choose someone else.

Absolutely the worst experience. Don't be fooled by the games and the fun waiting room atmosphere…read more This place is a full nightmare and potential traumatic experience for your child. I only write this to save other parents and children from having to the same experience. Be warned. He was very abrasive and has absolutely no patience for children, especially special needs children. First, I pointed out a brown spot and he said it was a stain, next visit he talked down to us as he pointed out that it became a bad cavity. Second, he was impatient, down right mean to our child and us, only because our child was scared. Instead of calming him down, he just yelled at him. Our child didn't do anything wrong, just said he was scared. I would understand some reaction if perhaps we were jerks, our child acted up or something. But we were very cooperative and our child was just an Autistic kid that didn't feel comfortable around this man. I've never seen anyone in any medical/Dental field act like this, but as this man pitched his fit (yes he pitched a fit), the entire staff were so apologetic to us, expressing embarrassment and you could tell they were ashamed of his behaviour. They whispered to me "I am so sorry". We went to a different pediatric dentist and even found out that those fillings weren't even necessary! Now, our child has never been scared and is completely chill and enjoys going to the dentist. Take them ANYWHERE else.

Our four year old had a little black spot on one of her teeth despite brushing every night…read more When we first got there the receptionist was very nice as was everyone the whole time we were there. They have full arcade games. They have everything from the simulated car arcade games, full size too not just some cheap or smaller version, to sit down and choose from over one hundred games like pac man, miss pac man, and gallega. They also had play station and cob with multiple controllers hooked up to HD TV's. Best of all every game was FREE! ( excluding your co-pay of course ). Needless to say the worst part of the wait was it wasn't long enough. I never thought in a million years I would say that about a dentist waiting room. When we saw the Doctor everything was very clean and new. Everyone was so nice and professional. They entertained my four year old so well that even getting a filling for her cavity, she was all smiles the whole time. I have never seen anything like it. The insurance picked up all except our co-pay which made this very inexpensive as far as my out of pocket. After my experience here I will be using this place for both of my kids as long as possible! The next day my daughter even ask if she could go back and see Dr. Rosenberg again instead of asking to go to the park like she usually does. This was the best experience I have ever had with any dentist and I can not recommend him enough for anyone with children! My three year old will be seeing him soon for her first visit and I couldn't be happier.

Today I was told we did the best we could but it was recommended for immediate hospitalization & toe removal (Dr. Sedberry, who I've never seen, broke the news). I just wonder if they did all they could do... why tell me (today) that they will admit me & start strong IV antibiotics. Couldn't that have been done sooner to try to save my toe? Were there other solutions to try? Don't get me wrong... I really like NP Morris, Sarah, & the other nurses but today was not as enjoyable with Dr. Sedberry.

She went on the word of the receptionist with no verification and caused me to lose my Dr. who I had been seeing for over a year. Dr Haste is a great Dr. but I would avoid Dr. Sedberry like the plague. Sad part is if I walked up to her and said Hi she wouldn't know me from Adam! It wasn't my fault her billing company made a mistake, Her office even sent me two of the exact same termination letters all sealed up with tape on same day. Really two termination letters? I would give her minus 5 stars if I could.
