    Some important things to know about this practice is they don't take insurance, which is a telltale…read moresign of a strictly profit-driven office. I have a dentist who is pretty unconcerned with my gum issues, but my gums are receding and I'm in a losing battle with my oral health so I called this office to inquire about being a patient and was told they wouldn't accept me without getting a referral from my dentist. I literally started crying on the phone and she could care less. Then I hopped on Yelp and see all their negative reviews and I guess I dodged a bullet here.

    I paid for a full cleaning and received a partial cleaning. The hygienist said because I did not…read morehave the Cavatron cleaning she couldn't finish. When I signed up for the appointment no one ever said "If you don't do the cleaning with Cavatron, you will only get a partial cleaning. The hygienist was also not very friendly at the start but was nicer as time went by. Not sure why this happened. Dr. Whitley sold me on a procedure to tighten up a larger gap which measured an 8. All my other teeth pockets were much better but he said my larger gap probably was due to the wisdom tooth removal many years ago. He said he thought he could get the gap as small as a 3. When the procedure was done, and I paid my bill, Dr. Whitley walked back his comment and said I might lose that tooth in the near future. I felt I was deceived by him. Finally, Teresa in billing kept filing my insurance incorrectly and it took months to get my claim. I kept telling her she was using the wrong address but I could tell she just did not care about my claim. They don't take insurance but as a courtesy will file your claim and I appreciate that. However, she just did not care and it showed in the extremely long time for me to get it. Overall terrible experience.

    This is my first experience with this business and I couldn't be happier…read more The care I received stated when I walked thru the door. The front desk is kind, provided me with perfect instructions and answered my questions. Getting an x- ray was so easy and she was sweet and patient! I was nervous! The dentist took quality time with me to understand my medical history and my needs. He explained several options, pros & cons, of course giving me the choice but what really amazed me is the way he explained things to me, the care I actually felt for what he is doing and I am able to make an educated decision asto what I'd like to proceed with. And NO PRESSURE AT ALL. I'm very impressed with this practice. Thank you for the excellent visit, it means so much to me.

    I was referred to the Fuquay-Varina location by my general dentist for an 8mm periodontal pocket…read more What should have been a straightforward consultation turned into one of the worst medical experiences I've had. First, they insisted on running X-rays they already had from my referring dentist. Then the real pressure started. They would not let me leave the office without scheduling surgery and putting down a deposit. I was not given a treatment plan until I verbally agreed to "consider" the work. The quote was $10,000, insurance covered $2,500, and they expected the remaining $7,500 out of pocket with no write-off. I have a documented sound sensitivity and specifically asked about sedation options -- what would be used, would I feel anything. No one in the office could give me a clear answer. Despite this, they continued pushing me to commit on the spot. The pressure triggered an anxiety attack, and there was zero attempt to accommodate or de-escalate. After the visit, a staff member named Amber called to follow up despite my explicit request not to contact me by phone. She ignored my boundary and told me she would "follow up Friday" and repeated that I "need this." This practice prioritizes billing over patient care. If you're being referred here, get a second opinion first. I refused the deposit and I'm glad I did.

    Avoid Tar Heel Periodontics at all costs. This place is shady, dishonest, and completely…read moreunprofessional. They tried to scam me into paying over $3,000 for dental work I didn't even need. Thankfully, I got a second opinion from a reputable periodontist who flat-out told me they were trying to take advantage of me. That should've been bad enough, but it gets worse. They told me my procedure could wait until December, then called me the next day saying it was suddenly urgent and couldn't wait -- only to realize they had called the wrong patient and gave me someone else's private information. Huge violation of privacy and shows how careless they are. They'll probably try to deny this, but I have the call logs to prove it: one from Dr. Kathwal herself, calling me from her personal phone admitting it was a mistake, and another from someone at the office admitting they had the wrong patient file open and called me instead of the patient they actually saw that morning. They also fraudulently filed a claim with my insurance for a free consultation, then ignored my insurance company's repeated requests for more information to fix it. When they finally agreed to send a check to correct the false claim, they promised it would be overnighted -- that was a lie too. Their excuse was, "it would've gotten there next day anyways." It didn't. It arrived more than two days later, causing even more delays and frustration. This office is a complete mess -- greedy, sloppy, and dangerous. Do not trust them with your health, your money, or your personal information. I wouldn't send my worst enemy here.
