I went here once and was told my insurance would be accepted. They proposed a bunch of work, I told…read morethem I wanted it pre-approved with my insurance provider. When I came back to have the work done they said everything was in order. After the work was completed they told me they didn't even accept my insurance! I was stuck with a huge bill. I would never go back!

Noel has helped me multiple times as well. She's so calm and helps coach you during your process. She's got a great sense of humor and puts a person at ease. Dr. Thien was absolutely amazing. He cares about you, the integrity of your teeth and talks with you about options. He was the first doctor ever (out of 6 dentists) to extract my tooth under 45min. (Long/curved roots unfortunately) This was by far the best extraction experience I have ever had. So incredibly pleased and already healing well! Like I stated, I don't care what anyone says, I trust their work, the prices are fair and they've always been polite and professional. 10/10 My daughter also had an extraction in 2025 and was so anxious. She was fit in within an hour and they had her in and out of the office within 20 minutes. She was pleased as well and grateful for them getting her an appointment quickly!

Terrible scheduling! They have canceled my appointment twice in a row. The first time I had…read morearranged all of my appointments in the same area on the same day because I drive an hour to get to Baxter. OK so I call and get the appointment rescheduled, I was assured that this would not happen again and that it is an issue within their scheduling software noting there is only one dentist available on certain days to accept new patients but guess what I just got another text. Have to call to reschedule. I called, and go through the prompts only to hear the office is closed. Leave a message. Will call you back in 1 to 2 days. This is very poor Customer Service.

I broke my tooth!…read more It was extremely easy to setup the appointment and get a place in their busy schedule. The visit was fantastic. My appointment was at 8am; I was welcomed into the office at 7:50, filled out my first time visit patient information online with ease (light-years better than the old paper and pen version), and the dentist walked me back to the chair promptly at 8am. Zach (Dr. Hazelton) quickly noted that I would requir a filling for my broken tooth. Without leaving my chair they took a digital x-ray (a much less intrusive process than the old x-rays -- a small camera was stretched out of a neighboring closet on an arm and the photos were showed to me on a screen in above the chair a minute later). The photo confirmed that a filling would suffice and the procedure was underway. I went in with a broken tooth and left 30 minutes later with everything repaired. I am used to going to a doctor with a problem, getting an examination, and then needing to schedule a follow-up appointment a week or more later for the remedy. This was an in, repair, and out visit that was just what you would want it to be. Thank you Zach and staff! Randy
