    Very upscale Dentistry
    Michelle R.

    Who likes to go to the dentist??? Who likes to get a crown?? Who likes to get a root canal??? No one ever!! But, it is part of getting old and it has to be done at some point. So you want to make sure that you go to a dentist that cares for you, listens to you and accommodates your needs the best that they can. Fairview Dental Care is great!! I am very skeptical when I go to the dentist but, they put me at ease with their bedside manner and great customer service. Dr. Robert Griffin and Hygienist Jenny were top notch! I recommend them to my family, friends, strangers and even my dog if they did dental work on pets!

    Top picture poor, unacceptable chiclet crown. Their cosmetic dental work is inferior and third world quality.

    Overall, I am happy with the cleanliness and friendliness of the staff who work there and the Dr, Goyal although now they have a new Doctor.

    Avoid Dr. Miller at all costs…read more Long story short - his work will not hold up and can lead to serious health problems, details below. Received a couple of fillings, crowns, and a root canal (from a filling he did wrong) from Dr. Miller over 1-1.5 year period about 3 years ago. At this point, all work he placed in my mouth had to be replaced and some of them have led to serious issues and oral surgery. First, my last treatment at Columbia Center for dentistry was a root canal. The root canal was on a tooth Dr. Miller did a filling on 2-3 months prior. At the time of the filling I said that it didn't feel like it was in my tooth all the way. He told me that it was just my tongue and the anesthesia, looked in my mouth and said "looks perfect to me" I insisted it wasn't in and he told me that he was the dentist and I wasn't and said I should purchase a warranty plan on it if I was unsure. 2-3 months later I'm back in the chair, filling wasn't in all the way and debris got into it, more decay, needed a root canal. After the root canal I said "good thing I bought the warranty" - was told the warranty only covered another filling and I had to pay for the entire root canal. I said that was ridiculous because I pointed it out prior and even bought the warranty. They ended up refunding me the warranty after the complaint and I got a letter that I was kicked out of the practice because I "disrespected him and his time". What about my (correct) opinion about the bad filling? And my time and money I had to spend getting his mistakes fixed? But that's not where this root canal ends. Today, I have just left an emergency surgery after having a CT scan on my head revealing a massive abscess resulting from his root canal. Something about him not putting posts in and the roots breaking off from the main tooth, leading to a gigantic infection that (not exaggerating) ate completely through the rear portion of my upper jawbone. I had to have multiple bone grafts just to keep the rear tooth from drifting away and to have a chance at an implant in the future. Doesn't stop there. After columbia, I lived in St. Louis for one year. The dentist there had to repair a crown Dr Miller had done that fell off. The dentist remarked how the tooth was almost completely ground away and that "usually dentists have a plan when they make crowns". Then I move to Chicago, the first dentist I see asked the same question as the stl dentist "who was your previous dentist?". One of the other crowns Dr. Miller did, he had ground all of the tooth away to a tiny nub and cut my gums, and then attached the crown while they were still bleeding which led to a leaky seal, allowing bacteria into the tooth which had spread down to my jaw. Had to have a portion of my jawbone removed and that crown extracted as well. Had to have all the other crowns and fillings replaced too. Same story with every crown, tooth ground to a nub. I got a second and even third opinion before I had all of this done - with the exception of todays emergency surgery. Last night and this morning were the most pain I have ever been in amongst surgery, broken bones, anything. Pure agony. I also never knew that root canal specialists existed until leaving Dr. Millers practice. Not only did he not refer me to one before botching mine. He did not even suggest or mention it. Now after 2 oral surgeries and 3 trips to my new dentist, all of his work is finally out of my mouth. It has cost me tens of thousands of dollars, a lot of pain, a lot of time, and portions of my jawbone that will hopefully recover with the cadaver bone grafts. Missouri has a 2 year statute of limitations against malpractice so legal recourse is limited. He might be able to do one or two fillings fine or a sloppy crown but I cannot begin to describe how much misery Dr. Millers sloppy work and arrogant attitude have brought to my life. I can't even eat solid food for 2 months now because of the extractions and missing jawbone. Other 1 star reviews have disappeared but email me if you want evidence.

    I'm surprised this Dentist office doesn't have more reviews. This place is hands down the best…read moredentist office I've ever been too. Everyone is super kind from the receptionist to the hygienists. Dr. Miller is great also! He's very personable, and very attentive to your concerns. The hygienists are very gentle when cleaning your teeth, and if you are curious about teeth whitening they will go over everything in detail for you. Love this place!

    Finally, a dental place that is good, cheap, and fast. I'm pretty sure that violates some…read morefundamental law of physics, but there you have it. If you are following my dental hygienks (get it?), you've no doubt read about my experiences at the local Pro Dental (http://www.yelp.com/biz/pro-dental-columbia#hrid:DVY2zjS5BuBeVPP0P4kIgA). After that, I somehow got lucky, and landed an appointment at this place. Thank goodness. Let me count the ways. One: Inexpensive and Good. So inexpensive, that, since I am a relatively healthy person without any chronic dental issues, it is actually cheaper for me to pay for the check-ups and x-rays than to pay for dental insurance. Of course, if I get that root canal, I will be wishing I had the insurance but a guy has to have some excitement in his life. As far as the quality goes, I'm no expert, but I am sort of observant, and the hygienists go by every tooth, with the pick-thing and the polisher and the floss, and Dr. Fuchs checks there work every time and even checks my tongue and gums for cancerous things, along with the questions about smoking or chew and such. So he seems to care. Two: Nice folks. From the receptionist who knows your name even though they only talk to you once every 6 months, to the hygienists who are thorough and personable, to Dr. Fuchs himself who is professional and friendly, I'm just not sure you could ask for much more. Three: Quick and painless. I guess dentistry isn't ever going to be the thing you really look forward to, but for the most part, I leave there feeling better than I walked in. If they need X-rays, they take X-rays. If I'm getting my teeth cleaned, they get cleaned. If there are other issues, they ask me and I reply, and things get done. It's pretty straight forward, and they make the whole thing easy. But a review should have something about what is not-so-great, and so I'll include that here... Ah... well, I guess.... um... no, they do give me the free toothbrush.... I guess the AC is usually cranked, and sometimes I'm a little cold, so there is that. Anyhow, go there and judge for yourself.

    Beware - You will be treated as a paycheck, not a patient. Similar to other Google reviewer, we…read morerecently had an issue with billing and rude office staff at Dr. Nick McHargue's office. Dr. Nick overall is a decent dentist - not the worst, not the best. At the end of the day, this office does the bare minimum and it is up to you to find out what your insurance will cover before your visit, as they will not take any responsibility for providing you with accurate information. My wife and I had been going to Dr. Nick for several years and recently transferred our kids to his office from their pediatric dentist. I brought them in for their first appointment, and was told their x-rays would not be fully covered by our insurance. I didn't check with their previous dentist or our insurance company before this appointment (falsely assumed Dr. Nick's office would help with this), and could not remember when the last time they had x-rays taken. I told them to go ahead with the new patient x-rays with the understanding they had checked with our insurance company and it would cost us around $70 per kid out of pocket. At the end of the appointment, I was surprised to find I owed over $300 out of pocket for the x-rays and other procedures, but I figured this was probably more of an insurance company issue, and kicked myself for not contacting their previous dentist to have their records sent over. About a week later, we received a bill saying we owed Dr. Nick another $200. I called the office and was told our insurance company didn't cover everything from our last visit, even though I was of the understanding the office staff had given me accurate information on my out-of-pocket x-ray expenses. I expressed my frustration with being essentially charged over $500 for 3 teeth cleanings because the office did not take the time to discuss their treatment plan or provide accurate insurance coverage information BEFORE the visit. The staff member explained it was my responsibility to contact our former dentist to obtain their records, and I was also responsible for contacting my insurance company to confirm our coverage. Would have been good to know it was up to me to get this information when we booked the appointments 6 months ago. I ended up sending them the money for the additional $200 they said I owed, and included a note with the payment asking them to cancel all of our future appointments. What happened next is why I am writing this review. The office manager called me at 7 p.m. the next week but did not call to apologize, reduce the charges, or try to keep our business. Instead, she literally called to argue and shift the blame for the breakdown to me. She reiterated they had no responsibility to obtain previous dental records or verify insurance coverage before a visit, and this was my responsibility. When I repeated my dissatisfaction with having to pay over $500 for a teeth cleaning and my frustrating that we did not over review any treatment plans before the visit, she told me she reviewed our files the night before our appointment and assured me they were one of the most affordable dental offices in town. No apologies, no adjustments, no regrets.

    Dr. McHargue and his staff are wonderful people! My household goes to Dr. McHargue, and most of our…read moreextended family as well. They get you in as soon as they can, take care of you quick, and make it a pleasant experience (and dentists can be SCARY)! They give the kiddos fun dental care and a prize for clean teeth.
