    Smiles of Warrensburg is what it is called now. Denise Hamlin is my Dentist. In today's world, it…read moreis so hard to have trust. I can tell you they have earned mine. When you walk in the door Matt is so genuine when he greats you. Denise is comforting and transparent at the same time. When I started coming here I had to take my anxiety meds just to come. Now I don't. That treat you like they have known you forever. Denise has saved my teeth! That keeps me smiling. They get me right in! There is a reason I drive an hour to this Dentist family and when you find one you trust, you can sit in that chair with confidence and walk out with a smile. Maybe a bit sideways while numb but on the inside I'm smiling. They have no clue just how precious they are to me. Now, if they could corporate a family Dr. attached to their building ran the same way that I trust in the same way, THAT WOULD BE GOLDEN!!! This last visit i was supposed to come in for a cleaning but i had a tooth bothering me so bad I couldn't eat anything. They got me in right away. (One hour drive) they weren't upset about me having to cancel the cleaning that was actually supposed to be the next day, actually suggested it, and then she told me she would call me the next week on her lunch break or after her work day to see how my tooth was doing!!!! THIS is care, and going the extra mile because she cares. This made my heart smile. It isn't just the obvious things they excel at, it is the compassion that many Doctors today sadly are missing probably because of stress and chaos in the world. But I can see she hasn't lost the love for what she does. Remembers why she wanted to become a Dentist and must enjoy helping others. It shows in her leadership with her staff and her outpouring confidence in knowledge and caring touch with her patients. I am so blessed that my husband's friend suggested us to come here. ~forever grateful~ ~Lana Jones~

    Dr. Hamlin and her staff are the absolute best!!!! I have never had a better dental service…read moreprovider. That I can no longer go to her makes me very sad because our company swapped insurance and so now I have to find a dentist in Network, I wish I could stay here because they are always on top of their game with providing care, extremely helpful and polite, caring and professional!!!!! TOP SHELF!!!!!

    This has been my 6th dentist I've ever been to. By far my favorite I could rant and rant about how…read moreamazing dr Cleveland and his assistants are everyone is very friendly and dr Cleveland always makes sure he gives everything his all. You can tell his love and dedication for his jobs and it makes me happy to keep coming back. Highly recommend for anybody.

    My experiences with Cleveland Dental have been an absolute disaster involving questionable billing…read morepractices, unnecessary treatment recommendations, and some of the most unprofessional office behavior I have ever encountered. On my second visit there, I was overcharged by roughly $400 and only received reimbursement after a check randomly showed up in the mail nearly a year later. More recently, my wife went in for what should have been a routine cleaning after simply missing her 6-month appointment window. It had only been about a year since her last cleaning, and she has excellent oral hygiene. Instead of receiving a normal cleaning, a hygienist informed her she would need FOUR separate "quadrant" cleaning visits. This immediately raised concerns because there was absolutely no indication she had severe dental issues requiring that level of treatment. To make matters worse, multiple employees within the office openly contradicted each other when my wife questioned it. We were told by staff that one hygienist "doesn't clean like she should" while another is "super picky." Hearing employees openly criticize each other's standards does not inspire confidence whatsoever. My wife eventually went to one of the four appointments, which conveniently would no longer be fully covered by insurance because it exceeded standard cleaning limits for the year. After feeling uncomfortable with the situation, she sought a second opinion from another dentist and was told there was absolutely NO legitimate reason she should have been pushed into quadrant cleanings in the first place. Then came the billing chaos. She later received a $46 bill, called the office for clarification, and was told they would "resubmit it to insurance." After that, we heard nothing else. Fast forward to my recent cleaning appointment, where I was suddenly informed I owed over $200 on an "outstanding balance." No explanation was provided whatsoever when I asked what the charges were for. When I returned for fillings, I was sitting in an otherwise empty waiting room and overheard employees behind the desk discussing how "he'll have to pay it because he's getting services today." Whether they intended me to hear that or not, it was incredibly inappropriate and unprofessional. After my procedure, I again asked for an explanation of the charges. At that point, the insurance employee, Callie, approached with an openly rude and confrontational attitude from the start. Instead of professionally explaining the situation, she immediately became defensive and dismissive while I calmly attempted to explain the history behind the billing dispute. The moment I started speaking, she literally threw her hand in the air to cut me off, turned around, and walked away from me mid-conversation like a child having a tantrum. I then stated I would pay for TODAY'S services and they could bill the disputed amount separately. As she walked away, she turned back and yelled across the office, "I'VE SENT THE BILL FOUR TIMES!" Not only was that completely unprofessional behavior from someone working in billing and customer service, it also was not true. We never received four bills, and more importantly, those charges should never have existed in the first place considering the unnecessary treatment recommendations and contradictory information we were given from the beginning. Between the overcharging, questionable treatment plans, lack of transparency, internal staff contradictions, and unbelievably rude billing department behavior, I have completely lost trust in this office. There are too many good dental offices out there to deal with this kind of incompetence and disrespect. What makes this more disappointing is that I actually liked Dr. Cleveland and had no issue with his work. Unfortunately, the billing department and front office staff completely ruined the experience with poor communication, unprofessional behavior, and constant confusion.

    I used to really like Ridgeview Dental, but they have really changed after Dr. Young retired and is…read morenot in charge anymore. There were several things in my last visit that indicated that the quality of service is not good. I had an appointment for my regular cleaning and exam, and when I got in the chair I was told that I would only get an exam, no cleaning since that was what was on the schedule and they didn't have time to do extra cleanings. Then the x-ray machine didn't work, so for about 10 minutes she went around to other rooms trying to find one that worked. Once the bitewings were done, she did a panoramic xray. Then I waited for the dentist to do an exam (didn't have a cleaning). He was rushing around the hallways looking for something he needed, and finally came in flustered and quickly looked in my mouth. Then I went out and was told that even though my insurance was in-network, that it doesn't cover the panoramic x-ray that they just automatically did (I found out that insurance doesn't cover that over the age of 19, and I'm 46) and they needed payment for that, so I paid it. I asked for a statement, and it showed the amounts sent to insurance, and the amount for the panoramic paid in full. I was frustrated that I didn't even get a normal cleaning, and that they did things that insurance didn't cover without asking me first. Now a few weeks later, they sent me a bill for a bunch more money in addition to what I already paid. My insurance has paid them for the preventative exam and bitewing x-rays. They used to be very organized, professional, transparent about charges and what insurance covers, and the equipment worked, but not anymore.
