called to schedule my son an appointment over a month ago - he couldn't get in until March so I…read moreunderstood that and said that I would make him an appointment some where else since he wouldn't be home from college in March - I was told that if he went somewhere else then he couldn't come back to white knoll dentistry - so I did just that. Got my son and myself a new dentist in Lexington now. My advice -this is something u should not say to a patient, if that is your policy i understand but i think a different choice of words should have been used...just something to think about By the way ...he was only coming to get a teeth cleaning so if someone else cleans their teeth and he comes back to White Knoll Dentistry what would that have hurt??? I really liked my dentist at White Knoll Dentistry too - hate she will lose our business because some of the ladies upfront are told to tell patients they can't come back if they go somewhere else ....

Ok so with moving you always have to start over and finding a good dentist for me is always so…read moreimportant because your smile is the first thing people see. So I always ask others who live in the area what dentist they recommend and elite smiles off course came highly recommended. Staff here were friendly but the highlight for me was my hygienist Andrea- literally felt like we were besties we talked the entire time, my dentist visit felt like it went so fast but I had a good deep cleaning with X-rays lasting an hour. Once the dentist came in too super friendly, I booked my six month out appointment for my next cleaning as well due to this amazing experience. I will say so many people have jobs because they pay the bills but Andrea really was passionate about her work, keeping me comfortable the entire time and was so friendly.

Deciding whether a dentist is "good" or "bad" often goes beyond technical skill--it can be a matter…read moreof ethics, too. I'm 81 years old, living with poor health, and I made sure to inform Dr Crocker about my challenges, including Auditory Processing Disorder (APD), which makes it hard for me to follow directions or conversations. My health conditions include multiple sclerosis (MS), chronic back pain, and heart failure, all of which make everyday situations more challenging. Unfortunately, my appointment turned into a nightmare. Due to my health issues, I asked to remain seated in a chair until the dentist arrived. After receiving a numbing shot, I waited over an hour for him to see me. As my pain levels steadily increased, I noticed he seemed upset and even blamed me for his running behind schedule. Despite my confusion, I told him I was willing to wait as long as necessary. At some point, I asked a fair question: if he was so behind schedule, why spend so much time blaming me when I had already agreed to wait? That's when he revealed his real concern: I learned later he was going to be late picking up his daughter. I explained that I was already numb and preferred to proceed with the treatment, but this only seemed to frustrate him more. He abruptly stormed out of the room, declaring the appointment over and instructing me to leave. Feeling confused and hurt, I asked a nurse to help mediate. I said we weren't understanding each other, and surely, as adults, we could work it out. Still, the dentist refused to return. I remained calm, never raised my voice or acted disrespectfully; I only asked for clarification about why he had decided to stop the treatment when it had already begun. His response was to have the police escort me out. The stress of the situation, combined with my heart condition, ultimately landed me in the ER. I prayed for him to reconsider and find a compromise, but instead, he blamed me for making him late to pick up his daughter. I reminded him that this was his issue, not mine. He had the power to dismiss me as a patient, but his actions became an ethical dilemma. I noticed that he continued treating other, healthier patients without issue and only forced me to leave--an 81-year-old with significant health challenges. To me, his motives weren't pure. He used his authority to bully a vulnerable patient instead of treating the situation with compassion and professionalism. I was willing to compromise, but he insisted I couldn't make him treat me. He was right about that--I couldn't force him to do anything. But I left without understanding what I had done wrong. This was an ethical failure. A dentist who chooses to work with elderly patients or individuals with disabilities has a responsibility to treat them with dignity and care. My time and health were of no concern to him. His priority was elsewhere, and his dismissal of me felt less about scheduling and more about the power he held. While I could have simply walked away, I believe he must be held accountable for his actions. He got flustered when I continued to tell him I didn't understand and I would wait the extra time . What a terrible situation for all including his staff who had more compassion than he did.

Alil disappointed but ok. My appointment was at 1 o'clock so I set my alarm clock at 11 o'clock because it's about a 55 minute drive to the dentist. I wake up at 9:45 to go to the bathroom and realized that I got a missed call and a text from them for me to call them as soon as I can. I call and they tell me to cone in at 11. Mind you it's almost 10 o'clock with a 55 minute drive and if I miss this appointment they're gonna reschedule my appointment even further. We'll I rushed out the door in less than 10 minutes and made it there right before 11. Get in back only to be told that it might be a long wait because they had people ahead of me. So why in the hail y'all call for me to get there 2 hours early. Get in my room 30 minutes later and tells me that they couldn't pull out the two teeth that needed to be pulled that I can make another appointment to get them both pulled out another day. I say oh hail no, I'm not driving here for nothing wasting my gas and time. You need to do something today. Gets in my mouth to pull a tooth and takes between 20 and 30 minutes and I'm like do you really know what you're doing?

The quality of care at this dentist is spot on. Very personable staff. However, the wait times are…read morea bit long for my taste. Both times I've been on time for morning appointments. They take you to the room almost right away but then you wait at least thirty minutes before a dentist actually sees you. In my opinion, they need to tighten up in that particular aspect. Additionally, the techs have their own style of music playing in the rooms. In my case it was R&B and rap. Drove me crazy. But overall a quality place.

Although they were booked out for a month, when I called with tooth pain, they managed to fit me in the very next day. From the moment I walked in, I knew I was in good hands. The staff was warm and welcoming, and Dr. Nick Ruggiero was an absolute delight. He was not only professional but also incredibly genuine, which immediately put me at ease. He took care of my tooth pain with ease, and then spent time going over a treatment plan with me. What I appreciated most about Dr. Ruggiero was that he took the time to answer all of my questions and concerns, and made sure I felt comfortable with the treatment plan before moving forward. By the end of the appointment, I was excited to come back for my next appointment - something I've never felt leaving a dental office before. I've already recommended Crescent Prosthodontics to multiple people because of the excellent care and genuine staff. If you're looking for a top-notch dentist, look no further than Dr. Nick Ruggiero and the team at Crescent Prosthodontics. PS: The dental hygienist is nothing short of a miracle worker. I had cleanings before but never had this great of a result with no pain. I added photos even though the before is embarrassing.

If I could give this practice NO STARS I would. First of all their office is in an old building…read morebasement that REAKS of mold which is why they have an air purifier to try to mask the smell (which does not eliminate the problem) which is a major long term health hazard. Second the office manager is rude, condescending, aloof and dismissive. Third I had made the appointment with Dr Ruggiero to go over a dental situation that several dentists were at odds over treating vs not treating and I was simply there to get his opinion. I had given him/his office all the information ahead of time AND brought it with me, but they still weren't prepared and Dr. Ruggiero blew it off stating that he would look at the things I sent after I left! The whole point in me sending them was so that he could view them and then look at my mouth to compare! The first frustration was the fact that Dr Reggerio was late for our appointment which he then rushed through telling me he didn't have much time to talk to me even though HIS tardiness cut into our appointment time! The only call I received from their office after that visit (for a separate issue) was to ask if I was going to allow them to make me a mouthguard which was astronomically expensive compared to other practices and when I said I couldn't afford it (because I don't have health insurance and had just lost everything everything in a flood which they also knew about ) I got dismissed! They completely ignored the most important time sensitive reason I was there for a potential tooth abcess that another doctor stated had spread into my sinus cavity and could kill me if it wasn't removed immediately yet nothing about that at all! Fast-forward almost a year later I get a notification from a collection agency that I owe them $420! No itemization of the bill whatsoever just $420 after spending under 20 minutes in his office with no clear direction on what to do about my potential tooth abscess which was the most important reason why I was there! I called the office to speak to the office manager about the collection threat and she was extremely rude, condescending, aloof and dismissive stating that "the doctor had to speak with another doctor about my case for 3 OR 4 hours"! First of all it's one or the other not "OR"! Second of all I know this to be a FALSE statement because I know the doctor he spoke with BRIEFLY very well, and the conversation did NOT last HOURS, it was MINUTES and he took that upon himself to do without having any discussion with me about pricing ahead of time. When I calmly tried to address all of this including the collection notice with the manager, she completely ignored the facts and continued to lie about the charges and then hung up on me after stating fight it with the collection agency when they were the ones that sent it to them in the first place and had the authority to withdraw it knowing full well they are being dishonest about the charges! If they do not resolve these charges, I will take them to small claims court and gladly pay the $75 fee because no judge will award them the rest of the money knowing it was a fabrication of time and bogus charges which I will have proof and witnesses for. I would definitely not go to this practice because A. You will put your health at risk and B. will get treated unfairly/rudely and C. they will greedily exaggerate the bogus charges, ghost you then threaten you with collections!
