I went to get two teeth pulled and was told it was a biohazard to keep my own teeth. Even though I…read morekeep them for religious purposes. Was told that kids can keep their baby teeth but I couldn't keep mine because I could drop them in the parking lot and he could get into trouble. He told me he didn't want to argue or have any problems first thing in the morning. Like I was trying to cause an issue even though I was just trying to ask questions and tell him my preference. He didn't care and acted like I was lying to him. It didn't make any sense as other dentists have done it before without any issue.

My only complaint is that they always require you to pay substantially more than the co-pay is expected to be with the understanding they will reimburse you. The problem is it is like "pulling teeth" to get the reimbursement. My insurance processed the claim the day after my visit, and that has been about 3 months, and still waiting.

Do not go here. Way over priced on their dental service, and just a terrible experience overall. I…read morepaid for x-rays at my dentist office who then recommended these people for root canal. They sent over the x-rays but when I went in to get the work done they said they had to do "their own x-rays" costing me another $200 out of pocket. And even though I have insurance they want to charge me more up front for the work "just in case my insurance didn't cover their part". What? The lady at the counter was very pushy about having to get this done asap. I never went back. Just seems like a real lack of integrity here and I found another place doing the same work for $500 less out of pocket.

I hate going to any Dentist. I have had some bad experiances with other Dentists in the past…read more That being said, after my wife talked me into seeing Dr. Patterson, I have a different outlook on going. He and his staff thus far have been completely painless. This alone is something I am not use to. They are also very friendly and did not take a big chunk out of my wallet when I went. I recently had a crown replaced and a filling. The wait time was almost nothing. Dr. Patterson is a military man and is very organized and structured. Not having to wait in the waiting room is also a new experiance for me when going to the Dentist. His Dental Hygienist Candy (I love that she's named Candy) is so nice and friendly. She also understood that I have very sensitive teeth and was just great a doing a job that needed to be done that I just am never going to be fully comfortable with, but she was wonderful. I highly recomend Dr. Patterson and his staff to anyone. They have changed my negative thoughts about Dentistry into positive ones!

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.

He hung up on them, called another dentist, who will get him in on Wed. Smiles refused to take a half payment last year when he offered to pay something until the insurance reviewed a poorly written letter. Stated it messed up their billing.
