    I wish I would've read all these reviews (Google etc) before going here. The only reason I did was…read morebecause the dentist that I REALLY wanted (and still do) is Dr. Greg Ware. Dr.Ware is HANDS DOWN the BEST, and a good person all around. Authentic. Unfortunately its too far from where I live. 2 issues: 1. The front office staff is beyond terrible. Rude, ignores patient needs, whispering (about patients) argumentative, disruptive (office manager eavesdrops on conversations, interrupts patients when talking, at times won't allow employees to speak for themselves always needs to be in control. This behavior is very noticeable and if I notice it I'm sure some of the employees do as well. 2. Expensive. After reading other relevant reviews, I'm concerned that they may be recommending unnecessary procedures. I'm going to compare my treatment plans from LifePoint Dental to my new one from my new dentist. Why is LifePoint Dental not accredited (BBB)?

However I when I got there, they said that they were just going to take X-rays, and talk about what work I needed to have done. And that my next appointment would be a cleaning. They told me that I had bone loss. Also I needed a crown for a back molar. News to me. Then we discussed Invisalign. When I went to the front desk to make a cleaning appointment, a young woman asked if I wanted estimates of the Invisalign and crown. I said just the crown. Then she stated let's go ahead and schedule that. I replied let's schedule the cleaning, and I'll get back with you on the crown. I went home, and researched other local dental offices, and made an appointment with a different one. BTW- the new dental office said that I don't exhibit any signs of bone loss, and a crown right now isn't necessary. Lifepoint seems to be commission driven in pushing so many services and multiple appointments.

    Get a second opinion before stepping foot here…read more I was told I needed eight fillings and was encouraged not to worry about the cost because I could write six reviews in exchange for $20 off each. Offering discounts for reviews is already questionable--but using that to offset unnecessary dental work is a major red flag. I got a second opinion from my regular dentist over Christmas break and was told I have zero cavities. There is no reasonable explanation for that kind of discrepancy. Being told I needed extensive dental work that I did not actually need is extremely concerning and unacceptable. I would strongly urge anyone considering this office to be very cautious. Do not agree to treatment without getting a second opinion. No patient should feel pressured into procedures or be incentivized to leave reviews in exchange for discounts.

    Extremely unprofessional front desk lady. I called front office and someone answered then hung up…read more Called back instantly and of course sent to voicemail. I leave message. 20 minutes go by so I call again and some young lady answered who was fairly nice. I explained the situation and she transferred me to front desk. In the middle of explaining the situation the front desk woman rudely cuts me off asking my DOB and name. I tell her that info then she tells me only thing she can do for me is extract the tooth but I was explaining I was currently away for Easter weekend and was wondering if I could get a prescription to relieve the gum abscess and she basically says no you can get it pulled or there's nothing I can do for you. Then says "Okay have a great day" as if she were ready to get me off the phone. You should really make sure you have the best appropriate people working where they will be greeting your customers. Absolutely lost a patient because of your front desk lady's lack of compassion. It's one thing to not be able to do it but it's another to simply act like you could care less that a patient is in pain. Disappointed but not surprised.

    I was in search of good dentist after my previous dentist Destroyed my teeth and friend of mine…read morerecommended Dr. Alla Brown. I schedule the appointment with no hassle and they did the exam and gave me multiple options to get me fix back to normal. I am so exited that I found Lanier Family Dentistry and I definitely know who's going to be taking care of me now. Also the hygienist Nadya R. also did an outstanding job cleaning all those stains off. Thank you guys and will definitely recommend them to someone who is looking for good dentist as I was.

    I have pretty good teeth and typically just pick a dentist based on convenience to my home and as a…read moreresult my previous relationships with dentist has been purely transactional-- I go in, get my teeth cleaned, get an x-ray and move on. But the staff at this practice is so incredibly personable, professional and pleasant you can't help but feel like they're extended family! Dr Alla Brown is the perfect combination of technical dental skills AND artistry with her cosmetic procedures. She explains all the procedures clearly, their benefits and drawbacks as well as the costs. When my decade old implant started failing, she noticed it and referred me to the best dental surgeon in the area. She also makes it a point to match your teeth shade color perfectly- giving you the very best in a movie star smile. If you are considering any type of dental cosmetic procedure, she is the dentist to see north of Jimmy Carter Blvd! Dr Brown is very friendly and her office is modern and nicely decorated. It is a very nice place to come and get your teeth up to speed. Can't say enough nice things about this practice, this dentist or this staff.

    Let me start by saying that this review has nothing to do with the Doctor that was treating me, my…read moreshort experience with Dr. Fabiola Palacios was amazing, she's very professional and very thorough. She was able to effectively find and treat a problem in one of my molars. My review has more to do with the office policies and the staff. So, I went for my first appointment and I was very happy, then I was referred to an endodontist and he was also very professional. I was scheduled with Gwinnett Family Dentistry (GFD) for a second appointment to finally get a crown in my molar, so they call me (GFD) and schedule my appointment, very nice lady, never mentioned any of their policies regarding changes or cancellations. On a Thursday, i receive a confirmation call from GFD and again, the nice lady never mentioned any of their policies or how long the procedure will take. So I confirm that I'm attending to my appointment, thinking that the procedure will take about an hour like in my first appointment, but what do I know??.. I'm just the patient who's never ever had a crown treatment before. So I call the day of my appointment, which was Monday, around 7:30-ish... I get Ingrid on the phone and I ask her how long is the treatment going to take? and she says "2 hours", and obviously I had no idea of the length because I was never informed. So I panic and I tell her that I can't make it because of work, I didn't know it would take 2 hours, and I have to reschedule..... I understand that I'm calling at the last minute, BUT.. Aren't they (GFD) supposed to inform you of these details before your actual appointment?? Anyways, she tells me there is a cancellation fee, and I tell her that I'm NOT cancelling, I'm rescheduling because I was not informed that the procedure would take that long. So she insists that is the same because is in the same day, less than 48 hours before my appointment. I get very upset, and I tell her that if they charge me a cancellation fee I will go to another dentists, obviously Ingrid doesn't care. She tell me that the administrator will be at their office the next day and she will call me... After a few minutes I call back and ask Ingrid how much the cancellation fee is?.... And her answer????.... " I don't know, the admin will call you tomorrow"... that never happened.... A week after, I receive a bill from them, it's only for $15, the original amount was $50 but after some credit they made I only "have" to pay $15, NOT my point... So my problem is..... Ingrid, works in that office, SHE tells me about the cancellation fee, but she doesn't know the amount.... So, how am I supposed to know about their policies if they never ever EVER mentioned them to me, the policies are not in their website and I was never informed by any of their staff, not when I scheduled my appointment and not when the nice lady called me to confirm my appointment.... But I have to know them????? Can someone please tell me what is the logic here????

I originally found her while searching for a dentist local to my second home. Athens is actually halfway between both homes. That works out fairly well. Her staff has always been kind and friendly to me. I am a bit anxious when it comes to my mouth, but she is no nonsense but thorough and gentle. I believe it helps her practice that she was a hygienist first. In fact, my husband and granddaughter will also be seeing her this year.

I went for a cleaning and was very anxious. The hygienist kept talking, and I told her I was not able to talk at the time. She did the cleaning, then told the dentist I was "Not a right fit", and they told me over text message I would have to find another. I apologized for having a panic attack (I was literally fighting tears during the procedure) and they refused to respond. I can't say what went wrong exactly-I was probably a bit short, but also was trying not to calm down. I had previously told them I wanted to have headphones on during the appointment and the hygienist didn't seem to be happy with that. I'm not sure if they were uncomfortable having someone of a different race, but they seemed to ascribe me to a stereotype rather than ask why I was upset or panicking.
