I'm surprised by the negative reviews! I had a lovely first-time experience at Riley Family Dental…read more The front desk staff had already processed my new patient paperwork and insurance information before my appointment, so I didn't have to do anything at check-in. The dental assistant was very sweet, and did a thorough and efficient cleaning. Dr. Riley came in shortly after and was very kind. On another note, I usually dread going to the dentist for fear of being "sold to." I've been to other practices in Charlotte that have tried to scare me about the condition of my teeth in order to sell me a $500 night guard or Invisalign. I really appreciate that this office didn't do that. Simply told me what I needed to know about my health and sent me on my way. I had a really great experience and highly recommend this office!

SCAMMERS!!!! Don't treat here!!!!!…read more Treated here once in December 2018. Now I'm getting collection notices from a date of service already paid by my insurance and billed incorrectly by this place!! I work in insurance had I not caught this they would be double paid!! I feel bad for anyone who has been ripped off by this place. Also, I find it odd I've never had any dental issues and go every 6 months for routine cleanings and exams, my first visit here all of a sudden they need to refer me to an oral surgeon... I haven't even had a cavity since I was 16. Go somewhere else so you're not dealing with their errors over a year later! Finally received a call back and they confirmed the error in which I STILL need to work out with collections. DO NOT LET THEM ROB YOU AND SCAM YOU!!!

Dr. Schmitt herself is good at what she does. Appointment scheduling is very easy. I have never had to wait for my appointment time. More often I get in early, if I show up early. I have also had to make a last minute change and they were more than helpful and understanding as well. On my first visit, I had to get a root canal and she referred me outside of her office. However, the doctor she referred me to specialized in root canals and did the job very fast. Much faster than she would have she says since she doesn't do them as often. And even though she referred me outside of her office, it wasn't some expensive office either. It was very affordable and much more affordable than other offices in the area. Since my first visit I have introduced the rest of my family to her. My son was introduced to the dentist recently and she made his visits always very comfortable. He is not scared of the dentist and actually works harder at taking care of his teeth because of her. My child needed to get a couple of fillings and she has this great machine that numbs the mouth and the gums without having to use a needle. Amazing!!! If you are looking for a new dentist in the Northlake Area I highly recommend Dr. Schmitt and her staff.

As a retired Healthcare professional raised in NYC my standards are quite high. From the moment you enter this high tech amazing dental center you are blown away. Not only is it a dental facility but it's a teaching program for Doctors who want to obtain a higher level of education and learn the newest and most sophisticated dental medical procedures. The office staff are extremely professional but yet friendly and welcoming. The facility is spotless and shines. They truly love what they are doing. They have compassion and understand your needs and work with u and your situation including finances and life situations. They make it affordable and go out of their way to pay it forward for those who cannot afford treatment elsewhere. They do this by using the tuition they receive by the Doctors in their educational programs to help pay for patients who are in financial hardship. They are doing this for me. I have been to many Oral Surgeons as I have serious and life altering issues and could not afford any treatment. I now will have the treatment I so desperately need and look forward to being healthy again. I cannot say enough about Engeldental Center. I would like to thank Candace for everything she has done for me as she has made it possible for me to get well. Many don't realize how important oral health is. It is so important in sustaining health and well-being being and having homeostasis and complete balance. Dr. Habishi is incredible and top notch. I just can't say enough. I highly recommend this dental center. I live in Asheville and I drive 130 miles to come here. It's worth every mile. The Universe is smiling down on this center. This is how the world should be.

Wouldn't do a general cleaning without doing a gingivitis cleaning first. I understand wanting to do due diligence and do these heavy duty cleaning but if your patients cannot afford them, then offer them what they came in for. Don't tell them you won't give them anything. I put in all my paperwork I was fearful of the dentist, hadn't been in 5-6 years because of past experiences. Guess it's going to take another 5-6 to gain the courage again after this. I had to call my insurance after because I cannot believe it. My insurance also told me this is incorrect. The employees I interacted with were all lovely so I can't say anything negative about them. It's just incredibly poor business practices

It is time to get a recent review on here. I'm very shy and anxious. I hate doctors appointments…read moreand mostly dentists appointments. I came in today very nervous the woman at the front desk was very nice got me checked in I was brought back quickly. I got some X-rays and while I waited for the doctor I had a great conversations with Trish (so sorry if I butchered her name) she really made me feel comfortable and when the dentist came it she was so sweet and I could tell she loved her job. Then I met with the hygienist who was very informative and honestly I know my teeth are not in the best shape but this is the first time I was spoken to and not down on. After the doctor literally printed out a plan for me and my care in the order it needed to be done. WOW how did she know I have adhd and need it written in front of me to remember lol. But in all seriousness I felt respected, safe, and for the first time I was made to feel like caring for my teeth is not an impossible task. I know I made the right choice in choosing this location!

Everyone from the front desk staff to insurance verification was quick and easy. My Insurnace was even verified before I arrived for my first appointment. Dr. Godwin was thorough and caring during my new patient exam and the X-Ray tech was gentle and patient with me. After my first visit I had a detailed treatment plan and got lucky and was able to schedule my fillings and cleaning for the following day. Kandiss was my hygienist and was caring and thorough. The assistant to Dr. Godwin ensured that the numbing was complete before I received any shots and for the first time I didn't even feel them. The work Dr. Godwin performed for my filings is amazing. They are perfectly smooth and unnoticeable. Overall I had an excellent experience and highly recommend this practice to anyone looking for a caring and efficient office. This was by far the best experience I've had with any dentist since moving to the Carolina's 8 years ago.

The dentist I saw was incredibly kind and thorough. She conducted a comprehensive checkup to ensure there were no signs of infection or inflammation, and even ordered a CT scan of my teeth to make sure nothing was missed. After discussing the numbness and its progression, she gently suggested that it might be Bell's Palsy. However, to rule out the very slight chance of a stroke, she advised me to have someone take me to the emergency room immediately. The staff were all extremely kind and professional, and they asked only that I call and update them on my condition after my ER visit. I felt genuinely cared for, and I believe that level of care is the best any industry can offer its customers. Oh and it is Bell's Palsy. I should be right as rain in a few weeks to a few months.

Not certain where the quality of customer care has gone, but the treatment I received from Dr…read more Nagel's office manager fell well below acceptable standards of practice. I fully understand that, due to fraud concerns, many facilities now request ID verification--and I have no issue complying with reasonable requests. However, what I will not accept is being pressured or browbeaten into allowing my driver's license or Social Security number to be uploaded into a system against my will under the false claim that "it is the law." There are no state or federal laws that require patients to upload their driver's license or SSN into a medical facility's system (with very limited exceptions, such as certain government-related cases). Office policy is not the same as law. To make matters worse, the office manager openly discussed my insurance coverage in the waiting area, within earshot of other patients. When I respectfully leaned in and let her know I was standing directly in front of her and that there was no need to speak so loudly about my personal information, she continued anyway. That disregard for patient privacy was both inappropriate and unprofessional. Her tone and behavior also suggested that my insurance somehow warranted lesser treatment, which is completely unacceptable. She doubled down by continuing to misrepresent office policy as "law" and insisting again that I provide my license. When I refused, she then demanded my Social Security number, which I also declined. She claimed I should have received documentation about this "law" when enrolling in my insurance. I informed her I had not and asked her to provide the law she was referencing. Unsurprisingly, she could not--because it does not exist. Let's be clear: patients are not obligated to provide their driver's license, Social Security number, or consent to having their information uploaded or photographed without their free will. These practices are often tied to internal policies, not legal requirements. At the end of my visit, I informed the receptionist that the interaction at the front desk had made me extremely uncomfortable and that the office manager should have known better. I also advised that staff should be mindful of how they communicate with patients--you never know someone's professional background. For context, I previously managed a medical facility and am well-versed in the difference between policy and law. If this is how new patients are treated, I would be very concerned about the experience of existing ones. Needless to say, I will not be returning to this practice. I am accustomed to a standard of care that prioritizes the patient, not the dismissive and unprofessional treatment I received today. I am appalled. --Tanya C.
