I had an absolutely phenomenal experience with Dr. James, and her team. I went in for my annual…read morecleaning, and walked away feeling empowered. Erica, my hygienist, educated me on my gum health, and noticed signs of wear on my teeth due to clenching; which I imagine I do when I'm sleeping. Erica took photos of each tooth, measured my gums, and validated that my oral hygiene practices at home are on par. During my examination, we saw signs of decay, and there was enough time in the schedule for me to start the process of placing a crown on my tooth. From the moment Dr. James numbed me to the moment my temporary crown was placed, I was treated with the utmost care. The team remembered my son, who visited not too long ago, and were as joyful and relatable as can be. They even offered me a cozy blanket during my procedure! I mean, who does that? Pecan Park Family Dentistry does! All in all, though it was my first time at their practice, I was made to feel like family. Like I was being taken care of by my girlfriends, and I am beyond grateful to have crossed paths with them!

After more than 10 years with this practice, I'm incredibly disappointed to be writing this…read more I'm autistic, and like many neurodivergent people, I struggle with scheduling and making it to appointments. I want to be clear: I am already deeply aware of this, and I feel embarrassed and awful when it happens. Nothing feels worse than standing at the garage door with my keys in hand, frozen, shaking, overwhelmed, and filled with guilt. This isn't carelessness or laziness, it's something I actively work to manage. I also understand that missed appointments affect a business, and I am willing to accept financial penalties when appropriate. I appreciate that Pecan Park Dental has waived some missed appointment fees for me in the past. However, my most recent experience felt shaming and dismissive of my disability, and I left in tears. The morning of a scheduled appointment, I was called and told my insurance would not cover the visit because I had hit my maximum. I was told I would need to pay $540 out of pocket for a routine cleaning. I could not afford that and chose to reschedule for a future date when my insurance would cover it. At that time, I was told I would still be charged a $100 late cancellation fee, even though this cost was only communicated to me the morning of the appointment. When I returned months later for the rescheduled visit, I tried to explain that this situation resulted from an insurance and communication issue. Instead of working with me, I was repeatedly pressured in the waiting room to pay the $100 fee. I explained multiple times that I did not have the money that day. I was asked for credit card information over and over, in front of my daughter and other patients. It was humiliating. I ended up crying in the office while still being asked for payment. When I later tried to explain the situation, I was sent a chart of my missed appointments. It felt less like an attempt to understand and more like an effort to reinforce guilt. That approach isn't helpful, it adds to the shame and makes it even harder to access care. Experiences like this are exactly why many neurodivergent people avoid healthcare altogether. It becomes easier to avoid appointments than to face anxiety, shame, and financial penalties. I don't believe this is about bad intent, but it reflects a system that prioritizes policies and revenue over patient-centered care and basic compassion. After more than a decade as a loyal patient, and bringing multiple family members to this practice, I expected more understanding and professionalism. Because of this experience, I will be moving my care, along with my family's care, to a different provider. I hope this practice reflects on how it communicates with and supports patients, especially those with anxiety, autism, or other neurodivergent needs. No patient should be made to feel this way while seeking care

During the appointment, one dentist examined me in a way that was painful and told me I had gum disease. I was then referred to a periodontist within the same practice. After examining me, the periodontist told me my gums were absolutely fine. Getting two completely different assessments in the same office was confusing and concerning. At one point, I was asked to pay even though my appointment was nowhere near finished, and there seemed to be no end in sight to the waiting. The office itself feels dated, crowded, and extremely busy. There seemed to be a large number of patients scheduled at the same time, with staff rushing from person to person. I was left waiting for long periods and genuinely felt like they had forgotten I was there. During the hours I spent there, I was never offered water or asked if I needed anything. This was genuinely one of the worst dental experiences I have ever had. I understand that affordability may be one of the reasons people choose this practice, but after my experience, I cannot recommend it. If you have another option for dental care, I would take it.

They are always warm and seem to remember tiny details of past conversations that I have forgotten, and ask me specifics about what's going on with my life (in a good way). Plus, they email you when you have an appointment coming up, which is a service not every doctor offers, but I find it just peachy. Also if you go for a cleaning, give the dental hygenist (Tim) a really hard time. Tell her Jeff put you up to it. I mean, she's never seen Fight Club. That's insane.
