This review is about the office management and more specifically the office/finance manager. I'd been to Dr. Swinney's 2nd office in November for emergency tooth pain. He started a root canal that I needed to come back another day to finish. I DO NOT like going to the dentist so I put off until I found myself in lain again in April. I work a couple blocks from Dr.'s other office so I called to book my f/u there. The person on the phone asked when if started the treatment and when I admitted November, her tone changed and judgment entered the picture. Regardless, we set an appointment for the following week. A few days later while eating dinner, I experienced high level pain! I looked online and found a message (text) function. I sent a message letting them know I was having high pain and that although I had an appt scheduled the next week for a root canal, I really needed to see about getting in sooner. No response. I messaged again the next morning following up on the previous message. No response. I called the office and mentioned I'd messaged a couple of times. The same woman I'd made the appointment with replied they have several people scheduled for a root canal and she didn't know who I was. My thought was...so you got my messages but couldn't just ask "who is this?" in order to help a patient? She was able to get me in sooner than my original appointment date. I filled out paperwork and was taken back to a room and prepped for the procedure. The same woman I'd talked to a couple of times now (can tell by her voice) came into the room, told me the total for the visit and that half would be due same day, then walked out. Upon completion of the procedure, I again met with this same woman to check out. (At this point t you probably see I don't remember her name but she's about 5'3", jet black hair with extensions, heavy makeup. I looked on their website for her name but she's not one of the three posted under Our Team.). She had a younger girl give me details and for each printed price per procedure, she'd mark out the expected insurance portion and lower it. I asked what the difference was also she turned to the older woman (point of this post), she told her to tell me that my insurance just isn't good about paying and doesn't pay for a lot of stuff. As I asked more questions, the younger girl would turn and ask the older woman so finally the older woman came over to me. She told me I had to pay $500 before I could leave. When I told her I couldn't do that, she said "I came in your room and told you this. That was me discussing it with with you ahead of time". She continues to stand over me while I'm sitting at the counter, demanding payment. She said if I couldn't pay with a debit I needed to apply for Care Credit on the spot so she can get some money. I let her know I'd make a payment then subsequent payments until paid off, before scheduling the appointment for my crown. She continued to demand payment, getting more visibly angry with me. She then demanded I sign forms giving my debit card info and agreeing to large automatic draft payments. I refused and told her I'd already signed papers regarding financial responsibility for my account so I'd make payments as I stated before. At this point I was done with her attempts to bully me and told her I will no longer be a patient there if that's what she'd prefer but that I wasn't going to give her my debit information or permission to charge it. I made my payment and left. I later called my insurance to ask what the coverages were and what the difference was between what was printed and what I was told. My insurance said "that office is out of network, did they not tell you that when you asked?" Of course they didn't!! At this point I'd already decided not to go back, which is unfortunate because the Dr. himself is GREAT!!! Toward the end of April I needed to get an itemized bill for my services to turn in for a claim. I filled out their contact us form on their website TWO different times/days. I have yet to hear a peep from the office. I have to believe Dr. Swinney has no idea how this woman is representing he and his practice. She's outright rude, demanding, attempts judgement, has the ability to make someone never want to visit his office again, gives opinions rather than facts and gives inaccurate/incomplete insurance information. The other staff I encountered were very kind and considerate but it only takes one bad seed to ruin the experience with the rest. If you'd like to experience a GREAT dentist, I highly recommend Dr. Trey Swinney but I'd 199% suggest you go to his office behind Lowe's and NOT the office on 5th Street!! His office manager there is next level terrible!!!

One final thought. . …read more I continue to sit here with tooth pain. Even the Air Force dentists take better care of their own than KayCare. Here's the story. I showed up to a 3 p.m. appointment at about 2:45 p.m. for several procedures. The receptionist said I was an hour late. I said that I was not late; I was early. She said that their system showed my appointment to be at 2 p.m. I showed her the appointment card given me by them on my last visit that showed 3 p.m. She continued to insist that I was late. She told the dentist I was late. I continued to inform th dentist that I was not late and that my appointment card showed 3 p.m. The dentist continued to say I was late and that they would not be able to fully take care of me that day since, as she asserted, I was late. Most businesses who make such errors strive to make things right for the patient or customer. Not her. She continued to say that since I was late, she could not get all the necessary procedures done. It's as if she was not hearing my concern and really didn't care. I live more than an hour from their offices and had to sacrifice other important tasks to get to KayCare on time only to be told I was late when I WAS NOT LATE!! KayCare is the closest dentist that takes my dental insurance. I do not recommend any business who does not put the customer, let alone patient, first and foremost. In this case, I think the dentist puts other aspects of her business ahead of her patients. This is unacceptable.

You can tell he genuinely cares and wants to help. Also if you have anxiety, they are so accommodating. Part of the signing up process they ask you "are you usually nervous at the dentist?"

One of the things I said is I just feel more comfortable with my husband in the room during operations, and now every time I go there they have a seat ready for him to sit and be near me. They also have TVs to watch while they work on you to distract you from what's going on. If you or your family has any type of anxiety or hesitation, I highly recommend them!!

The left side came unglued and was springing up and poking me. Very painful!! I guess 28 years of the glue holding was a good long time, but time was up! I called my regular dentist and they could not help me, instead referred me to an orthodontist. I went there, and upon leaving I could tell what they did was not going to last, as it felt very thin for some reason. I was right, the very next morning, the retainer sprang loose again and I was in the same boat. I called Dr. Coker's office and spoke to Mary, who had me come in right away. I should have called Dr. Coker in the first place. I went in, and his assistant thoroughly applied the best adhesive ever and got my retainer back in place. I imagine it will hold another 28 years or better! I would highly recommend Dr. Coker's Smile Studio for any and all tooth situations and especially emergencies with your adhesive glue! They are a wonderful group and do terrific work. I will definitely go back again and again. Highly recommend!! Kim Harden
