I definitely would not recommend this place. I walked in there with a toothache.

He never even asked me how I felt, I showed up in pain and I left in pain. I had to end up going to another dentist to have some pain medication prescribed to me. He did not seem the least concerned about my current condition, but was more interested in what they could do for me down In the future. I felt like I was at a seminar with somebody trying to sell me a timeshare. The staff was nice and courteous just like some of the reviews say but the bottom line is they are more interested in upsell Ing you dental work that is not necessary. I left there with a bad taste in my mouth. They will never see my face there again. Beware, don't let their reviews fool you. I am almost sure that their Google reviews are all AI.

We both had excellent hygienists that were knowledgeable, personable, and gave us great suggestions for better flossing, brushing, and maintaining our teeth, gums and smiles. Dr. Bailey was so nice, friendly, and clearly exemplary in the field of dentistry. For a small cavity, she used a new sandblasting technique (at least new to me) where numbing is not required, the cavity is sandblasted, sealed and it only took about 5 minutes ~ amazing. I highly recommend Dr. Bailey and her staff for your dental and oral health ~ you won't be disappointed.

The office is tastefully decorated, modern, and easy to find. The fresh flowers at the front desk are a nice touch. I never thought I would say this but I enjoy visiting the dentist. Thank you Dr. Bailey and staff!

Backstory to My Review: Roughly 16 years ago, I had my two…read morefront teeth knocked out from an accident, and as a result, I ended up with two dental implants. Current Day: I moved to Knoxville 2 years ago, away from my old surgeon and my family dentist who have guided me through this my entire life. So, I decided I needed to find an oral surgeon who could potentially help me with my current implants or assist in any future issues I could come across. I wholeheartedly regret ever coming across the phone number of Dr. Whittaker. I called to inquire about their services and had the misfortune of speaking with Patty, the receptionist. She was condescending, rude and just horrible to deal with. She made uneducated assumptions about my current dental implants and then proceeded to insult my past surgeon. Mind you, I have not been seen here; they have no history on me as a patient and know virtually nothing about my case. Overall, I'll end with this: it's truly a shame for such a forwardly negative person to work in healthcare. As you can imagine, my past surgeries are an incredibly sensitive topic to me--having any major dental work is a painful, awful, expensive mess. So, when I'm confronted with an unqualified individual talking down to me on the phone, enough to bring me to tears, I'm certainly not one to be silent about it. I'm looking out for you, the potential patient. Find an office that is compassionate, helpful and understanding. If just speaking with this woman on the PHONE instilled me with enough fuel to post a review, I can't even imagine what it'd be like to work with her one-on-one. I'll pass. Good luck to you, and I hope your journey proves better than mine.

I had an appointment with my regular dentist, who informed me that although they were not causing…read morepain yet, that my impacted wisdom teeth had to come out sooner or later, so...better to get them out as soon as possible. This is where Dr. Whittaker comes in. Everyone at the office was super friendly and helpful, from the receptionists to the nurses. One nurse actually dealt with me all three times I had to come in, and while I don't remember her name, she was awesome! Really quite friendly, which helped quell my fears on the day I actually got the teeth removed. Dr. Whittaker himself is the man. He was very nice, but also very professional and wise. Pretty much what you want in an oral surgeon. I have to admit, I was really nervous even during the first visit since I am a complete pansy, but the kindness exhibited from both him and the staff made me feel at ease. For the wisdom teeth removal itself, I was treated very graciously by everyone, and even given laughing gas almost immediately, just so I wouldn't be so nervous. The procedure seemed like it took a total of one second; according to my mother, it took thirty. Which, I don't know how long it usually takes, but surely this is pretty fast. I was out of there within an hour (after recovery and all) after being wheeled to my car by the nurse. I've heard many horror stories from friends and acquaintances regarding their personal wisdom teeth experience, however, I had none of these complications and I am almost certain it's because I chose the right oral surgeon. Pain was pretty much nonexistent after the first day, and I was even at work two days afterwards with little to no exhaustion or discomfort. I wasn't given dissolvable stitches in this case, so I had to go back a week after to have them removed. Dr. Whittaker seemed genuinely concerned with how I felt the whole week, making sure I had had as little pain as possible.I really can't express enough how his (as well as the one nurse's) demeanor really just made the whole experience as pleasant as it could be. If you are particularly nervous about getting your wisdom teeth removed, or if you want to have pretty much one of the best oral surgeons in Knoxville, I highly recommend this office!

I was in Knoxville last week on a work trip when my dental cap unexpectedly came off. Since my…read moredentist is in Florida and my insurance cards were at home, I tried to tough it out, but by Thursday, August 28th, the pain was unbearable. I googled nearby clinics and found Beaver Creek Dental Care. From the moment I called, they were incredibly compassionate. The receptionist was so kind and got me in immediately, even helping me through the paperwork. Since I didn't have my insurance, I was told I'd have to pay out of pocket, but at that point all I wanted was relief. Tevia, the dental assistant, was amazing. For the first time in my dental experience, someone applied numbing gel before even taking the X-ray. She was attentive, sweet, and worked quickly while listening to my concerns. Then I met Dr. Reagan McNerney. She was an absolute blessing. After hearing my situation, she gave me two options: prescribe medication and discount the X-ray so I could wait until I got back to my dentist in Florida, or reattach the cap right away. I chose to have her put the cap back on, and before proceeding, she personally checked in with the front desk to make sure the cost would be reasonable for me. To my surprise, Dr. McNerney went above and beyond--she lowered the cost significantly to help me out, understanding I was just visiting and would continue treatment back home. Within minutes, the procedure was done seamlessly. She even had my prescription ready so I could pick it up right after. Dr. McNerney's kindness and generosity truly restored my faith in humanity. She didn't take advantage of my situation; instead, she cared for me like I was a longtime patient. I left feeling respected, valued, and deeply grateful. Thank you, Dr. McNerney, Tevia, and the Beaver Creek Dental Care team, for turning such a painful experience into one of compassion and genuine care. I cannot recommend this clinic enough.

So I have a significant dental phobia. I don't mean that in a "I find the experience of getting a…read morecleaning stressful" way. I mean a "Xanax the night before and morning of, heart racing, I may throw up on the way in" level phobia. S whenever I make an appointment, I know I need to plan several days ahead to be in a calm enough mindset to make it through an appointment. So when I got stuck in traffic to the point where I was almost twenty minutes late, I had no idea if they would still be able to see me and my whole "Namaste" mindset was out the window. Not only did they see me, they did backflips to make sure I was comfortable. They were fast, diligent, and overwhelming kind. I cannot thank Dr. Williams, Amy, or Theresa enough. I'm a nurse and I truly hope that I am able to show my patients the quality of care that everyone at University General Dentists have shown me.

I have been to this group located at UT medical center and never had any issues up until recently…read more It had been 3 years since my last visit and this time, I was very disappointed with the entire experience from start to finish. One issue that stood out right from the beginning, was the egregious communication skills of the resident dentist. He aggressively questioned me multiple times about why it had been so long since I was there. I gave a general answer because I really didn't want to share with him my personal life story of losing my sister very unexpectedly in 2022. I didn't feel like I owed an explanation for being occupied with her only child who has severe Down's syndrome. I didn't feel the need to explain the amount of grief I have had to deal with over the past few years. I was finally focusing on my own underserved needs and felt like he was scolding me for being noncompliant. When he wasn't able to pinpoint my pain issue, his attitude spoke of unbelief. He questioned me about why I didn't come in sooner if I had so much pain. I explained that this was the first appointment I could get, and I made it 3 months ago. I waited patiently because I didn't want to go anywhere else. I had very good results in the past. I could go on with multiple other complaints about the resident dentist, but it would be several pages long. When I went to check out, I was told I had a past due bill of over $100.00 from my last visit in 2021 and had to pay it along with this visit. I explained that I never received any bills from them. I was told, they sent out 1 statement and they don't use a collection agency. At this point I wanted to get as far away from them as possible for my own mental wellbeing. So I quickly paid the bill and left. I will never go back and will encourage others to go somewhere else.
