I want to first make clear that Dr. Trey Swinney is great. Personable, helpful, considerate and…read moreremembers his patients. This review isn't about him. 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!!!

I had the pleasure of being Dr. Stansbury's patient for 13 years before I moved to the Dallas area. Both he and his team are dedicated to providing top notch patient care and strive to make every experience comfortable and as pain free as possible. As a testament to this, he calls his patients every evening to see how they are doing after that days procedures. I would highly recommend Dr. Stansbury to anyone who wants technologically up-to-date dental care with a personal touch. In fact, many of my friends and extended family are patients in his practice.

When I finally saw a dentist, the numbing injections were so painful my eyes watered & I literally started raising up in the chair. He pulled the tooth, said "we're done", and walked out. Never even made eye contact with me! All the staff are focused on $, not on patient care. They are emotionless, devoid of feeling, and care nothing about the patients! They shove a portable card reader at you for payment & greet you with "your payment today will be $XXXX. I am still having trouble with swelling of lip on side of extraction, and it has been nearly a month since the procedure. I would NEVER recommend them or use their services again! They are nothing but a money hungry corporation. They have NOTHING in common with a dental practice! Stay away. far away!
