Prior to seeing Dr Magruder, my daughter phoned the office to ask how much it would cost for a…read moredental cleaning. The lady that she spoke to took her insurance information, and said she would contact the insurance and then call back. She phoned back and said the out of pocket cost would be $25. But later when it was time to pay, my daughter was charged $118 -- that's in addition to the $145 that the insurance was expected to pay. When we phoned Dr Magruder's office to discuss the unexpectedly high charge, the lady said that she would not have given any cost estimate since they are out of network, which was simply not true. The visit itself was fine, the staff were nice, and that's why I am giving two stars instead of just one. My complaint is solely about the bill.

They got me in that day, took xrays, gave me a pain prescription and got me in the next business day for a root canal. I'm traveling, so I could not stay for the Crown procedure, but I was advised to get it done when I return home back in Wisconsin. The Dentist here in Galveston did such a great job by repairing the remaining part of the tooth and building it up, and filling the holes. Zero pain throughout the procedure, zero pain now, and a perfect bite. I give the Galveston Mint Dentistry my highest recommendation. I wish they would move or open an office up by the Wisconsin Dells.

Every single visit, I'm told I owe some deductible or extra charges that end up not being correct…read more I have repeatedly had to call my insurance company myself, and then insurance has had to contact the office to explain that I did NOT owe what they were trying to charge me. A major issue seems to be their insistence on unnecessary X-rays. They push for X-rays at every visit even though many insurance plans only cover them once a year, and depending on patient history they may not even be medically necessary that often. It feels more about billing than patient care. I also had a filling done by another dentist recently, and this office tried to tell me I suddenly needed additional filling work on that same tooth, which immediately raised red flags for me. Combined with seeing charges of around $600 billed to insurance for a basic cleaning and exam, the whole experience felt extremely questionable. Patients should double-check their insurance benefits and recommended treatments before agreeing to additional services here.

I called with a problem, which I had been ignoring for too long. Hoping it would go away, right?…read more By the time I finally called, it had become quite painful. Dr. Blankenship and his staff worked me in that morning, which was a pleasant surprise. He diagnosed the problem and referred me to an endodontist for a root canal, which --amazingly--I was able to get done that same day. I went back to Shoreline for a crown, and was amazed at how quickly and painlessly that procedure was. Overall, my experience with this office has been superb. It is very clean.

May 15, 2026 Friday…read more Been going to this dentist since 2021; no issues until this year. Love Dr Pickering but she now only works part time, Wednesday and Thursdays, so it's become harder and harder to see her therefore, I decided to find another dentist. On May 4th, I spoke to office staff, Heather and requested my dental records be sent to another local dentist. She said she would email them digitally. As of today, May 15th, the new dentist still has not received my records thru the mail or thru an email. Secondly, I got a bill for $120 so before calling dentist, I call Delta Dental insurance only to find out that Dr Pickering is out of network, wait...WHAT? I wasn't ever informed of that. These two services (X-rays-teeth cleaning) have always been FREE and covered each year with Delta Dental. And, I've had DD since 2012. Soo, now, it's time to call Pickering's office. I call during off hours, to leave a voicemail. However, on that VM, it states you can text a 346 number, so I did. I sent a text on Monday May 11th hoping they'd get back to me on their open days of Wednesday or Thursday; they did not. I texted again on Friday, May 15th, still no response, so I CALL Pickering's office to leave another voicemail but a man answers so, I apologized because I thought I had the wrong number. I redialed. He answers again and says, you've got the right number, but it's my wife you need. I said, oh ok. And I hear a lady in the background say "gimme the phone, this is Heather," i said, hi this is Melissa but she cut me off and proceeded to defend herself as to why she hasn't gotten back to me; she's busy, she's got 3 small kids etc... Because she sounded agitated, I told her (calmly) that I was concerned over the lack of communication regarding getting billed, because it's been 5 business days since I texted, AND secondly, the new dentist has still not gotten my dental records requested on May 4th. She became loud saying that she snail mailed my dental records the same day i requested them and she doesn't know why they haven't gotten them, etc I said, you told me you sent them digitally, she denied that. I asked if I could come by and get them? She said she doesn't have them because they were mailed but, she's going to write off the billing charges because she's tired of dealing with me. Ooh-kay! You sure right, lady. I said, thank you and hung up. I'M DONE with this dentist office because of Heather. I'm done because of the limited business hours. No longer recommend it.
