Dr Atkinson travels from his office in Hot Springs to do work in different offices around Northwest Arkansas. He happened to be the only perio that my insurance Metlife would cover and he did my dental implant at the Monarch dentistry office in Fayetteville, AR. He is pretty nice and very thorough, but most of my communication was with his nurse Carol who is AWESOME. Very empathetic,very good bedside manner, spends time with you,and very good at giving you lots of information and answering questions. She kept in touch with me via phone and mail. During the actual procedure they were really able to put me at ease. I was getting a tooth implant up front because I had been born without an adult tooth there. Everything was easy -- they placed the IV without any pain at all. In minutes I was floating away to sleepy land and then I woke up and almost everything was done. I did hear some drilling at some point but never felt anything. The procedure was much easier than I expected and I don't have a whole lot of pain at the moment. Time will tell how things go as I heal for the next 6 months. I have another appointment scheduled with them in 1 month just so they can check things out, then I will be handed to my regular dentist to eventually get the abutment and crown. All around, it was a good experience and I shouldn't have been terrified.The only reason they didn't get 5 stars is because scheduling is a little tricky and slow just because they only come to this location about once a month. Other than that, I highly recommend! read more

I just received by 3rd implant from this periodontist over approximately the last 15 years (3 different locations in my mouth). The whole experience was once again perfect. I had all procedures in his private office in Hot Springs. Scheduling an appointment is very easy. The office is very accommodating. The staff are happy and knowledgable. Dr. Atkinson is a periodontist, but he places an IV better than any phlebotomist I've ever encountered. I have no recollection of the procedure. Recovery was quick (complete in a week), and the office provides close follow up to make sure your pain is controlled and healing is progressing. If you need an implant or any periodontal work, this is the place to go. read more

I received my second dental implant from Dr. Atkinson (my first was in Shreveport, La). Heard great things about him from a coworker and decided to make the two hour trip in hopes of a better experience than my first. I was impressed from the beginning. Scheduling was painless and they were able to get me seen quicker than I anticipated. The entire process was well worth the trip. Dr. Atkinson and Carol Jo were able to explain the entire procedure from start to finish in a way that was insightful yet comforting. Following the procedure, I received multiple phone calls, even over the weekend, to follow-up regarding my healing and pain. I will have to receive two more implants in the future and can't imagine going anywhere else! I cannot say enough about Dr. Atkinson and his staff. read more

Before moving out of state I noticed a bump on the roof of my mouth. Turned out to be an infection where I'd had a root canal. After treating the infection Dr. Atkinson performed a bone graft, a procedure that was surprisingly pain free. A few months later when the implant was completed again the procedure went smoothly. Follow up after both procedures was very thorough. The hygienist gave me more pointers on keeping my teeth cared for than any hygienist ever. Even the front office staff helped make an anxious situation easier. If you need an implant this is the place to be treated. read more
