My wife has had the same level of care. Forget about pain, they don't let it in the building.

Normally I don't ever leave Yelp reviews. However Dr. Cosgrove and his staff surprised me and…read moredeserve a 5 star review. I have had the same dentist for all 23 years of my life. However he retired and I moved to Birmingham. I was putting off looking for a new dentist because they are often hard to trust and I feel try to do more work then needed. But, I needed a dentist ASAP because by I cracked my front tooth! I called the next morning and they were able to get me in same day. I was in and out quick, he gave me a great consult and did not overcharge -even undercharged- he also did not do more work to my tooth than necessary. My tooth looks great and I scheduled a future appointment for cleaning! I'm glad I found a new dentist and will recommend to anyone who asks!

Short story: one of my best dental experiences ever…read more Being new to the area, I didn't have many personal recommendations, so I went on yelp, Google and my insurance website. I found another dentist and got a lot of work done on my teeth. Since I don't have a dental degree, I generally trust what dentists tell me I should do. I ended up in Dr. Cosgrove's office after all this work and immediately wished I had started here. The staff was kind and went out of their way to explain my insurance coverage and costs before I visited. Dr. Cosgrove took the time to explain the risks and benefits of the treatment he suggested. He did most if not all of the work himself, undercharged me for work he performed, and conversed in a very down to earth way with everyone he interacted with. I think I will switch to his practice: I was very impressed.

I work between AL and TN and after having a horrible tooth extraction out of TN I obtained a dry socket while working near this dental office. I called knowing the office was closing in twenty minutes and without hesitation they told me to come right in and they would gladly pack the socket for me. Everyone within the practice was polite, nice and worked very quickly. The practice itself was beautiful inside and out. The Dentist was thorough, knowledgeable and very nice. Even though they were closed by the time he finished packing my extraction the Dentist was nonetheless friendly and patient and took the time to explain my situation with me. This practice is how a dental office should be and I could not be more grateful for the sense of urgency they felt because I was in pain. Thanks again Chace Lake Dentistry!!

Staff was so helpful and accommodating to her and gave her resources. Most would have turned her a way.
