Due to new insurance and healthcare the way it is, I had to find a new dentist for the first time…read morein 15 years. The past two years has been good but this review is around general check up and cleaning as I am pretty diligent with my teeth. I have seen Dr. Rao both times and she has been good and has taken the time to answer any questions. I see they provide restorative, corrective, implants, oral surgery and emergency services. Most dentists will refer you to an oral surgeon so that's a plus. Location is just off the Pewaukee Beach. They use one tech that I haven't had before which is a very pin point high pressure water for cleaning. Scheduling was easy as a new patient. I called for an opening, they sent me paper work to fill out prior and I was able to get in within 5 weeks. Each time for my appointment I arrive and taken back within a few minutes of my appointment. Very little waiting. I have not had any issues with billing and processing through insurance. I'd recommend ForwardDental and Dr. Rao.

But my last two experiences were very bad. Last time I went here I was waiting (I think over 30min?) even though I made an appt. Fine, it happens. I got in the chair they took x-rays (great!) then sent a hygienist over and she did very, very, very little. They usually use a color coded probe to measure your gumline to see how much its receded, that was not done. They also de-calcify your teeth with a scaler/ultrasonic scaler (the scrapey part no one likes) she only did it on a few front teeth. Then she opened the prophy paste to "clean" the teeth and all she did was tap my four front teeth. That's it. That's all folks. Then they RUSH RUSH RUSHED me out the door. No one was that friendly either...busy I guess? Whatever. All in all very poor experience. They sure did bill my insurance though, of course! I thought maybe a fluke, one off? So I sent my husband in with tooth pan (cracked tooth.) I made him an appointment and everything. He waited FOR AN HOUR still and they looked at it, took a x-ray and sent him on his way. To be fair he didn't have my HSA card for payment so I get that. The real problem is (besides the ridiculous wait time) when I asked him about the experience he said "I didn't feel welcome there." and "They rushed me out so quickly." and "I just didn't feel like they wanted me there." Before anyone slaps back, yes I have very healthy teeth. I still don't see this an excuse to not perform certain tasks; and I do know what I am talking about. I have worked in dental for 10 years and I've never ever seen this level of poor service before. Pass all, find another one. One that prefers quality over quantity in patient car

Let me preface this review with the fact that I had been in severe tooth pain for about 2 weeks straight, living off of Ibuprofen and tylenol. On my journey to figure out what was going on with my tooth, I went to 3 different dentists who couldn't figure out the issue. It wasn't until Dr. Dan Smith walked in the room that I felt a rush of reassurance, trust, and kindness. Dr. Dan has an incredibly caring bedside manner mixed in with the utmost professional demeanor in his responses to your questions. He took his time with my care, listened to my complaints until I was done giving him all the information that was important to me, and he reassured me with confidence in his answers. I cannot recommend this establishment and Dr. Dan enough. For the first time I felt cared about and that I was in good hands. It took Dr. Dan no more than a couple minutes to come up with the cause to all my tooth pain / issues. Their pricing is beyond fair compared to the surrounding dental offices. The entire staff up front was helpful and thorough. It was the most pleasant experience I've had going to a dental office in my 32 years of life. Thank you Dr. Dan and Bark River Dental! You just made a life long patient.

Doctor did not prescribe enough pain medication to make it through the weekend and was not available to provide a prescription refill so I had to deal with the post-op pain 'til following Monday. On follow up visits, he took several photos of my mouth without saying anything. Would not recommend.

This is nice because other dentists I went to just told you what you needed and you didn't really have a say in the matter. You'd think a good dentist would see issues starting and let you know.

With my most recent issue it began to hurt chewing and my OG dentist labeled it a 'problem tooth' and had me come in for X-rays and an exam where it revealed the 'problem tooth' was infected and would either need extraction or root canal retreatment. Since it was a problem, he leaned me towards extraction. However, my gut kept telling me to dig a little deeper and seek an alternative opinion. I took a weekend and researched root canals and retreatments. I came to find out that Endodontists exists and that a significantly high percentage (roughly 80%) of root canals fail when conducted by general dentists (your every day dentist)! In fact, up to 98% of root canals done by specialists (endodontists) succeed! Read those again (and google it yourself). These stats, paired with my gut feeling of a second opinion led me to research endodontists that were both highly rated online and within my insurance's network of care. This led me to Access Endodontics in Brookfield. Calling to make an initial connection was a breeze and the staff was very helpful. They would connect with my insurance and my current dentist to gain a referral and necessary pre-steps. They called me back a couple days later and we set up an in-person evaluation, which was a breeze. I saw Dr. Stover and immediately felt at ease. Her bedside manner was top notch and, paired with her Knowledge and expertise, left me feeling calm and confident in my decision to try retreatment. I also felt connected to her opinion and agreed that it was worth trying retreatment so as not to wonder 'what if'. Flash forward to the retreatment appointment and, while I was feeling nervous, her calmness and thorough yet empathetic approach made for a night and day experience from my initial root canal. Additionally, it was during my retreatment appointment with her that I learned the Dr found 2.5 MORE ROOTS that were completely MISSED the first time!! Of course this tooth was a 'problem' because it hadn't been properly treated the first time. Can you believe it?! Again, so glad I tried. If the options are to try again or pull the tooth, I'm trying again and gee am I glad I did. The procedure was straightforward and didn't last the entire time slot they designated for me. I listened to music in my earbuds the whole time and have since had a follow up to check its progress. It is healing nicely and the root canal seems very successful. I only wish I knew of and had gone the endodontist route the first time around! Both Drs at this location are great and I highly recommend.

My Dentist thought that since the pain was so intense that I was awakened at night and I had a root canal done in the tooth that I felt was hurting, I should go directly to an endodontist. My Dentist referred me to Access Endodontists. I called Access Endodontists on 11/15/2024 and explained that my dentist referred me to them and that I was not sure which tooth was the issue as the pain seemed to move as it intensified. I was assured they could diagnose my issue. My insurance information was requested and given. Later someone called me and explained my covereage was maxed out. I asked how much the evaluation would cost if I paid cash and was told around $238.00. I agreed to the amount and was scheduled for an appointment 11/19/2024. I had a very missable 4 days but survived by alternating Tylenol with Ibuprofen. When I arrived on 1/19/2024 I was given forms to fill out. After filling out all the forms and while sitting in an examining chair, I explained my situation to the person who was helping me. The person helping me told me they could not evaluate my situation because I did not have a referral. I explained over and over that I did have a referral. They said they tried to contact my dentist but were unable to. I drove to my dentists office while in severe pain and asked what was going on. After some back and forth Access Endodontics told my dentist's office they require the dentist to evaluate the situation before sending them to Access Endodontics. This policy was news to my dentist. I made an oral contract with Access Endodontics and agreed to pay them money, then was refused treatment and left in intense pain. No alternative action was presented.
