Dr Smith is terrific with a keen therapeutic touch and does all he can with diseased teeth to take…read morethe pain away in doing the work (for me a root canal) that was later packed with resin (light hardened) by the referring Dentist. I stay away from Mercury-Silver fillings. With that said, it was necessary for me to take about 12 to 14 individual x-rays (including a full skull scan). This was done by the dental tech (one of 7 other staff ladies varies in age, all pretty and petite). There is one person to greet patients, another to check them out, another to answer the phone, another to work insurance, on and on it goes - how many staff are there - just for one doctor who can only put his hands into one mouth at a time. Some of the x-rays were duplicates as they were not placed in the correct anatomical tooth location to begin with (she claimed) and then the follow on x-ray was also identical. The next one was crooked (she claimed) and had to be taken again. Then the next one had to have a darker contrast per DMD request. I lost track of the excuses for the - what they considered necessary diagnostic tools - to be sure the root canal was properly done. If you LOVE x-rays this is the place for you. I do not have that love for being radiated with a poison repeatedly .. and would see another highly trained DMD if I was paying for it. This was a required visit by my insurance provider so i had no choice in the matter - except to pay for it my self .. which if I had to do over again .. I would make the medical intervention at my own financial hardship. My caution is not for the professional performance of the Doctor but of the support staff .. their profession performance is lacking. As is the Human Condition .. every one is neurotic (sad sickness) - addicted - and in dysfunctional relationship issues. Though it is rare there are Psychiatrist Medical Doctors who have sex with their patients and make up the 1 % of therapists who do that behaviour ... replicating the injury of the patients childhood and driving the disease deeper into the Defense Structure making it harder to come out for healing ... as they find a therapist who will not violate that therapeutic boundary. Dental tech -- Inhalation therapy -- physical therapists -- nurses -- EMT -- Paramedics -- all of them have to do the work like every one else in fixing the Human Condition in being neurotic - addicted - and still in the prison of their fears having dysfunctional relationship issues. Since they are working in healing .. and with Patients .. the OATH .. 'is to do no harm'. Which a clumsy heavy handed blind mistake prone intervention on a patient is suppose to be a clue .. hey - you still screwed up babe.

I had a bit of a phobia about going to the dentist, however Dr Stratton looked after all my concerns. I even had a laugh with Dr Stratton and Kelsie whilst getting treated.

This dental practice was recommended to me by another Redding dentist who was fully booked. I would recommend Riverbend Family Dental to anyone. Give them a go you'll be looked after.

Honestly, this is a tough review to write. I have seen Dr Crummett in the past, and have had no…read morecomplaints. And the folks there have been nothing but friendly and courteous during my appointments. But this last visit was one of the worst dental visits I have ever experienced in my almost 60 years on God's green earth. I went in to get a crown. After the doctor had "numbed" me up, he began working on me and whatever he used did not do the job. The procedure was causing me pain. So I let him know, and he administered more anesthesia. However, that didn't help. I could still feel the work he was doing, and it was causing me a lot of discomfort. I decided just to grind through it and get it over with. Unfortunately, at one point he got me so bad I yelled out in pain. I was stunned at Dr Crummett's reaction. He got angry. I am the one who just got hurt, and he's the one fuming about it. No apology, just a furrowed brow. Soon after my appointment, I began experiencing pain in the tooth he worked on. Just couldn't bring myself to go back. That last visit was brutal. So scheduled a visit with my wife's dentist. I'd suggest looking elsewhere if you are in need of a dentist. It might be time for the dentist to call it a career.

I have seen Dr. Wilson both with dental insurance and without. When you have insurance, he is obligated by contract to charge your copay. If yu pay cash (not debit or credit card) he (as of 06/26/20) offers a cash discount. His relationship with his staff is priceless (code for funny and special) and he gets away with stuff I am sure other employers wouldn't but he has truly happy staff. And as far as I am concerned, he has happy patients as well. I would also like to add that Dr. Wilson doesn't shy away from difficult cases. I have periodontal issues which required a referral to Dr. Blasengame, and I am in ortho with Dr. Shoff. Doing a crown prep on a patient in braces is challenging at best and Dr. Wilson has never once shied away or made me feel like the particulars of my case made his life difficult (which I know they have!). Also, Dr. Wilson has pointed out that because of my teeth being crowded and twisted, it is much more difficult for me to keep them clean until I am out of braces. Dr. Wilson has NEVER ONCE made me feel bad for the challenges I have or the condition of my smile. I can't say the same for previous dentists. So when you are ready to be treated with respect and compassion by a dentist at a fair price, go see Dr. Shawn Wilson!
