    I cannot thank all of the staff and especially Dr. Iseman and Annie, for taking such excellent care…read moreof my wife. What can you do if you're in Myrtle Beach and your from out of town and you have a dental emergency? Call Myrtle Beach Dental Associates. Hands down this was an outstanding find and experience. My wife's entire front tooth broke and fell out and we were in town for a family funeral. I called numerous dental offices, all were nice, but only this dental artist could immediately see my wife, he fixed her smile in only a few hours and were extremely fair with the price. The facility is brand new too. I cannot say enough nice things about our experience. Highly highly recommend.

    My appointment was at 9:15 a.m., and I arrived early at 9:05 to fill out the paperwork. At the…read morefront desk, a guy told me the X-ray and exam would cost $290, and he repeated it several times. However, when I was taken to the room, the assistant said it would actually be $309. When I asked why, she said, "It's just a $10 difference," which is not true -- it's $19. I told her I would be paying cash (no insurance) and that I didn't appreciate the price changing before we even started. She said she would go check the price and never came back. After 40 minutes, I went out myself and found her just standing there. She said they had increased the prices and that the front desk "didn't know." Then the doctor, Robert Huggins, came in and said prices were higher because I made the appointment "a month ago." That's not true -- I scheduled it three days before. He apologized and agreed to honor the original $290 price, and even said he'd do it for $280. He gave me anesthesia at 11:10 a.m. and said he would start in a few minutes. But he didn't come back for almost an hour -- until 11:55. By that time, the anesthesia was already wearing off. When I told him this was unacceptable, he said, "You're right, I should've told you to come next week, because I'm too busy today." Then he gave me two options: he said he could either start right now and finish everything in 15 minutes, or reschedule me for another day. So basically, after sitting in that chair for three and a half hours, hungry, numb, and ignored, he suddenly decided my treatment could be rushed in just 15 minutes. That's not normal, and it's absolutely unacceptable. Even though it was an emergency for me and I decided to let him fix the tooth that day, I left the clinic completely drained and disappointed. No one offered water, no one apologized. At the end, he gave me a $50 discount, and I ended up paying $618 in total. I will never come back to this place again -- and I don't recommend it to anyone who expects respect, honesty, and professionalism

    I called as soon as they opened the practice because of a painful molar which had bothered me for a…read morefew days. Several dental offices, to include my former dentist, could not accommodate me until the following week. Dr. Whalen was ready to see me within the hour; I walked into a welcoming, clean, comfortable waiting room providing books and magazines for an eventual wait, but was invited to an examination room right away. Dr. Whalen is a smiling, relaxed, friendly gentleman who makes you feel at ease, is approachable and patiently listens to your concerns, then performs a thorough exam ( including X-rays) and explains the reason for the issue and the steps to address it. I was sent to an endodontic specialist the same day, and returned to Dr.Whalen for the oral surgery the following day. The entire staff reflects the same smiling, friendly attitude and it is a relief to know that we have a dental office nearby we can rely on. Five stars, well deserved!

    After my last visit with the new hygienist, I'm not entirely sure how I feel. She was rude and…read morerefused to do my cleaning. I wasn't comfortable with her diagnosis and questioned it being that I have never heard this from any of my previous hygienists. I'm now having to seek a second opinion and despite the fact I was willing to sign off on her recommendation, she refused to clean my teeth due to her own personal morals. I've literally never dealt with a situation like this before and I am floored that this even happened. I just received a phone call a few days before I was supposed to go in for my cleaning with Dr. Whalen stating that they are dismissing me and my family from their practice because they don't feel they're a good fit. I'm feeling my feelings on questioning the hygienists diagnosis didn't settle well and I'm grateful that I have an appointment set up with another doctor for a second opinion. I fully plan on sharing those results when I receive them. Extremely unprofessional of this practice to treat people so badly and be so dismissive. Not a good look for a new practice and I'm sure as time goes on, we'll be seeing more reviews like this. Not a good practice if you have any sort of dental anxiety, don't blindly believe a diagnosis and expect to be treated with kindness, respect and compassion. Dr. Whalen went as far as comparing my diagnosis and doing my cleaning to "painting over termite damage"! This was awful, embarrassing and uncalled for.
