    Honestly was a little scared when I saw the reviews for tenncare patients but I think this office…read moreand the people who work here have been absolutely wonderful. I always usually have my son with me too and they have been nothing short of wonderful for me. I finally am getting the care for my teeth I've been desperately needing for so long. and they have done a wonderful job thank you!

    I have never been so disrespected as I was today at Quality Dental in Cookeville tn by Dr Jonathan…read moremims... Anyone who's known me for a long time knows.... ive had a lot of oral surgeries and a lot of dental work due to an accident which knocked my teeth out on my 18th birthday. So naturally im scared to death of Dental work, then my last surgery they over dosed me on ketamine.... so im very cautious and I tell dentists before they work on my mouth. WARNING TO ANYONE IN COOKEVILLE WHO HAS DENTAL ANXIETY. Today I experienced something that left me completely shocked, embarrassed, and in tears. I had an appointment for a tooth extraction and to receive a new partial that I had already paid for. Like many people, I am terrified of dental work. My heart was racing before the dentist even walked into the room. I was sitting in the chair staring at the anesthetic that had been prepared, trying to mentally prepare myself for what was about to happen. After about 20 minutes, the dentist walked in and greeted me. I smiled nervously and said, "Hi! Do you happen to offer nitrous oxide here?" He replied, "No. Let's get you numb'd." I pointed toward the injections and said, "I'm not sure about those. I'm really scared." What happened next completely caught me off guard. Instead of reassuring me, explaining the procedure, or acknowledging that I was scared and vulnerable, he immediately started gathering up my things throwing them aggressively in the trash and told me to leave! I just sat there for a moment, stunned. I remember thinking, "Wait... what just happened?" I tried to explain myself. "I was just telling you that I'm scared." He responded that I didn't want treatment and needed to leave. I said, "I promise i do want treatment! I want my teeth fixed. I'm just very scared." Again, I was told to leave. At this point I was genuinely confused. I wasn't refusing treatment. I wasn't yelling. I wasn't being disrespectful. I was doing what anxious patients do every single day--telling my provider that I was afraid. I said, "As a paying patient, it's concerning that I told you I was scared and your response was to tell me to leave." He replied that we could go back and forth about what was said, but it wouldn't change the situation because, according to him, I didn't want treatment. I looked at him and said, "But I really do want my teeth fixed. Trust me, I want my teeth fixed. And as a Christian, I would never treat you the way you're treating me right now." For a brief moment, his expression changed. I can't know what he was thinking, but it seemed as though what I said registered with him. It was one of the only moments during the entire interaction where I felt he might have understood how hurt vulnerable, and scared I was feeling. Then he looked at me and said, "How do you want me to treat you?!" And honestly, my answer was simple. "Like a human being who just told you she was scared." I explained that I had only grabbed my keys because they were sitting on the chair and I needed to move them to prop my leggs up. I wasn't trying to leave. I wasn't refusing treatment. I was trying to explain that I was nervous and afraid to my dentist. Instead of helping me feel safe, I felt like I was being dismissed and pushed out the door. By now I was fighting back tears. When I asked if I could at least receive the partial that I had already paid for, I was told it would be returned and that "I could seek the treatment that i didnt want elsewhere." I was in disbelief. As I stood up, trying to compose myself, I continued attempting to understand how telling a dentist I was scared somehow turned into being removed from the office. He grabbed at my arm, I jerked away and began walking. At one point, as I was heading toward the lobby, I asked what I felt was a reasonable question: "So, when young girls come in here and tell you theyre nervous and scared, your response is to throw all her things away and tell her to leave?" I wasn't trying to be difficult. I was genuinely trying to understand. Because that's what I had just experienced. As I continued toward the front, tears rolling down my face, I was still being told to leave. I understand that dentists have difficult jobs. I understand patients can be challenging. And had i of been impolite i would of understood his actions and barbaric behavior. But fear is one of the most common emotions people bring into a dental office. Compassion should never be optional. I walked into that office scared of getting a tooth pulled. I walked out feeling humiliated, dismissed, and completely blindsided because I admitted I was afraid. This was not my first interaction with this provider that left me feeling discouraged, but it was by far the worst. To my friends and neighbors in Cookeville: if you struggle with dental anxiety, please do your research on this place before choosing a provider. Read reviews. Ask questions. Find someone who understands that
