My elderly father, a 100% disabled Vietnam vet, was in excruciating dental pain. After being turned…read moreaway by another local clinic and facing a long, complicated VA referral process to an oral surgeon hours away, I was feeling desperate. On a whim, I called Fort Bragg Family Dental. After two missed calls, Dr. Nate Poenaru himself answered the third. I explained the situation and he said, "Can you come in now?" Within 45 minutes of arriving, my dad walked out--treated and on the road to recovery. What would've taken weeks, travel, and red tape, Dr. Poenaru handled with kindness, urgency, and skill. He didn't have to answer the phone. He didn't have to help us. But he did--and made a huge difference in our lives. We are beyond grateful. -- Charlotte & Tim Hawley

I spent thousands of dollars at this dental practice but I am having an emergency and they are non…read moreresponsive. I have a tooth infection and waited for three hours before someone called me. They wanted to schedule me about 32 hours away with a dentist who is not Nate or Jeff and claimed they could not prescribe an antibiotic without an exam. I am on the phone now trying to get some help today--Monday, not a weekend, not a holiday, with a dentist I have never seen because the ones who took my money and have my x-rays and records are not willing to help me. A woman staff person named Erica is not kind or empathic but defensive and dismissive. I would go anywhere else for dental care before I would give these people more money. Their rates are among the highest.

Today it was the same kind of atmosphere in person. The dental nurse that took my X-ray was extremely helpful and made me feel at ease while clearly showing her expertise in how she explained every thing she was doing. And the Dentist himself was fantastic. Not only very kind and easy to talk to, but again just extremely informative. Went in great detail at everything we were looking at, reassured any concerns I had with a very transparent and candid manor, and gave me easy to follow tangible advice on follow up care. Not once did I feel pressured into any unneeded treatment, or judged for having not been to a dentist in so long. I'm so happy I found them and can't recommend them enough!

I recently had a problem with a broken tooth which I asked him to try and cement back in its original position. Although it probably wasn't his first choice, he listened to my wishes and tried to oblige. After several attempts we both finally decided that the tooth needed to be pulled. I was apprehensive and slightly nervous about the procedure, but it turned out to be very easy. Doctor KB even called me at home over the weekend to check to see how I was doing. He is a first class dentist !!!!!
