I worked at Team Dental of Joplin for over two years and in that time I was treated with so much respect and shown so much love. Team dental became a second family! I now drive three hours to return for my appointments because i wouldn't want to go anywhere else! Dr. Lemus goes out of his way to make sure you're comfortable and that you understand what is going on. You can't find a better dental office!

After a deeply traumatic and painful experience at another provider, I reached out to Joplin Oral Surgery hoping they could help. Initially, there was a nine-day wait--but once I explained the urgency of his situation, they found a way to get him in the very next morning. That alone speaks volumes about their compassion and responsiveness. From the moment we arrived, the team was calm, professional, and efficient. They listened to the full story without judgment, and while they never badmouthed the previous provider, they clearly knew how to handle the situation and quietly guided us through the steps to make everything right. They performed the extraction of the remaining wisdom tooth fragment (left behind and mishandled elsewhere) and completed the two upper extractions without incident. Everything was explained clearly, handled with grace, and done with the kind of care and integrity you always hope for but don't always find. This was not our first positive experience with Joplin Oral Surgery--both of our daughters had their wisdom teeth removed here, and it was seamless each time. I've also recommended them to friends, and every single person has come back with glowing feedback. Now I can add my son's story to that list. If you're looking for oral surgeons who are not only highly skilled but deeply professional and trustworthy, this is the team to see. They restored our peace of mind--and that is priceless.

A friend of mine recommended Dr. Sheffer at Joplin Oral Surgery and I am so glad I listened. Dr. Sheffer explained the procedure very well and the whole experience was as good as a tooth implant could be expected. From when I walked in the door Dr. Sheffer and the staff were professional and caring from beginning to end. Very little pain and the aftercare was explained very well and I had no trouble at all healing from the procedure.

Lisa has been my hygienist for almost 20 years; she is thorough, gentle, and patient, making sure that both my child and family are comfortable throughout our cleanings.

The range of services offered at Joplin Family Dental by Dr. Kirk and Dr. Paustian is impressive, catering to all ages and needs--from routine cleanings to more complex procedures. It's incredibly convenient to have a one-stop dental practice for the entire family. We are so thankful for Joplin Family Dental and always recommend them to friends and family.

My only complaint is that they always require you to pay substantially more than the co-pay is expected to be with the understanding they will reimburse you. The problem is it is like "pulling teeth" to get the reimbursement. My insurance processed the claim the day after my visit, and that has been about 3 months, and still waiting.

They sent over the x-rays but when I went in to get the work done they said they had to do "their own x-rays" costing me another $200 out of pocket. And even though I have insurance they want to charge me more up front for the work "just in case my insurance didn't cover their part". What? The lady at the counter was very pushy about having to get this done asap. I never went back. Just seems like a real lack of integrity here and I found another place doing the same work for $500 less out of pocket.

He and his staff thus far have been completely painless. This alone is something I am not use to. They are also very friendly and did not take a big chunk out of my wallet when I went. I recently had a crown replaced and a filling. The wait time was almost nothing. Dr. Patterson is a military man and is very organized and structured. Not having to wait in the waiting room is also a new experiance for me when going to the Dentist. His Dental Hygienist Candy (I love that she's named Candy) is so nice and friendly. She also understood that I have very sensitive teeth and was just great a doing a job that needed to be done that I just am never going to be fully comfortable with, but she was wonderful. I highly recomend Dr. Patterson and his staff to anyone. They have changed my negative thoughts about Dentistry into positive ones!
