Going to the dentist used to be fun when I was a kid. But then I had a couple of really scary visits where I didn't feel heard or understood. After that, I started thinking every dentist appointment was going to be like that, but then that changed when my mom found Peak Dental. She came home saying everyone was super kind, and I decided to try it after switching insurance. Right away, it felt peaceful and good. It wasn't scary or overwhelming. It was easy to make an appointment. I also sent a note I use for all my doctors, so they know how to help me better. Marie emailed me back fast with an appointment and said my note was super helpful and that she would share it with everyone else. That made me feel lots better before even going. The office is easy to find and has lots of parking. Inside, it's bright and really welcoming. Alyssa and Marie at the front desk were super kind and made checking in really easy. There's a comfy waiting area too, which helped because I was kind of nervous. Lacey, the dental assistant, brought me back, and she was really gentle and went slowly. We did X-rays first, then went into a room with a really comfy chair. She told me what was going to happen before she did anything, which helped a lot because it felt less scary. If you look up at the ceiling, they have TVs too. You can bring a comfort item if you need it, which helps a lot when you're nervous. Then Dr. Yarborough came in. She was so kind and helped me be calm and made me feel much better. She had read my note and said it was super helpful. We just went step by step, and she explained everything in a way I was able to understand. What I liked most is I didn't feel rushed at all. I could ask questions, and I didn't feel silly. I actually felt empowered and that I was not going to be judged for asking something or needing extra help. When I was done, I checked out and walked out with a smile. I was not just in a dentist's office, but instead, it felt like a dental family that really cares about each patient. I think I am going to be okay. read more

I have had horrible experiences in the past with dentists. Dr. Yarborough and her team are amazing! They did absolutely everything to put me at ease...from offering me a blanket due to being chilled in the waiting room, to holding my hand while having a tooth extracted. Dr. Yarborough was completely professional and nonjudgemental. Her staff was top notch. They came highly recommended to me and I was not disappointed... actually impressed and looking forward to getting on the right path with dental care. If you have any hesitation or anxiety about dentists...I recommend you go to Peak Dental!!! They will take care of you. read more

I would NOT recommend going to this dental office. The care is average at best. The dental work is subpar. The office staff will not return telephone calls. I have called the office weekly since receiving a bill with a question about dental work I received over two years ago. I received the bill in question the beginning of December for additional money for a procedure over two years ago that I paid the insurance estimated cost. The irony: I had to get the procedure redone earlier this year by another dentist because the fit was incorrect. I am very disappointed that no one will return my calls. I sent the additional money to them and still have not received a phone call. Please do not go here if you want quality care by people that care about the patient. This practice believes only in the money. If you go, you will notice the dentist has very expensive taste. Your bill will reflect that taste not your dental care. Go to a dentist that cares for the patient. Your teeth and oral health will thank you for it. I learned my lesson with this dentist and this office. read more

BEWARE OF THIS DENTIST!!!! My daughter went to get 3 small fillings which should have been easily done. Nope. This appointment took 3 hours and at one point my daughter said she was left in the chair for an hour. My daughter has extreme anxiety about going to the dentist and asked twice if she should be given nitrous oxide, she was told she didn't need it they were almost done. Dr Yarbrough's bed side manner is less than desirable. I have heard many stories about how "gruff" she is. Gruff is an understatement, she is mean. Not only was she left in the chair for an hour while the dentist ate lunch with her husband, but she was charged $277 for extra chair time. And they would not let her leave the office until she paid. This is ridiculous. Beware of this dentist!!! read more

I've been in Healthcare 30 years. My goal is to influence every Care Team, we were created by God to serve others. Dr. Yarborough knew how to build her Team Because Dr Yarborough's Passion isn't dentistry, it's Serving Others through Dentistry. I had a surgery related procedure yesterday which went smoothly to say the least. I left with a satisfaction knowing everyone on Staff was committed to making my experience the best. 24 hours later, I'm even more satisfied I made the right decision with Peak Dental. My three children are scheduled for their 6 month cleaning. Dr Yarborough is a Great Choice. Jim Coutsos read more

I had big hopes for my daughter's experience but it turned out rather unfortunate. Originally we went in for 1 cavity from a previous dentist that we were unable to get fixed before we moved. After having new X-rays we were informed my daughter had 4 cavities that needed taken care of. On to the actual appointment. My daughter wanted me to come back to the room after they had started the gas and the kind assistant came out to get me. I asked my daughter is she wanted her ear buds to put music on to help distract her from her obvious nervous state and she said yes. I ran out to the car to get these and was back in less than 2 minutes. The doctor has already began giving shots and didn't allow the couple minutes it would have taken to get my daughter the little distraction and possible help of easing her nerves. I was finally able to get back in to hold my daughter's hand, as she had requested but it was a struggle as the doctor wouldn't pause so I could get back easily. I was a bit put off by this because my daughter was sweaty with nerves and an occasional tear would come out. None of this was acknowledged by the doctor however the assistants were quite kind and comforting. Upon leaving I had to ask for a print out of the billing and charge breakdown. After I paid I realized they had charged for 6 cavities! So I questioned why for 6 when we had been told 4 at the initial exam. I asked to speak with the doctor about this and she came out after a little wait so I could get clarification. Unfortunately it was quite an uncomfortable conversation as the doctor was clearly on defense when I began asking why the change in plan and I wasn't informed of the additional 2 fillings prior to completion. The whole conversation went downhill from there. By this time the doctor was quite upset and said I was questioning her ethics, which I wasn't, I was just trying to get a straight answer to the change from the original plan we had been given. The doctor was barely composing herself and was so upset she said she was refunding the whole appointment and dismissing us from her practice! NOT at all what I was asking for or expecting. The doctor then left the room we were in and I was in complete shock for the lack of professionalism and bedside manner from this doctor. I really did have high hopes for this dental office because the staff had been so kind and supportive to my daughter and her anxiety with her dental needs. read more

New patient from out of state and have not visited dentist in years. All staff was very kind and informative in finding and supported explanation with visual aids like xrays and photos of my teeth. My little girls ages 2 and 4 had their visit as well and it was an excellent experience for all of us! Highly recommended! read more

Dr. Yarborough is very nice and has gone above and beyond to communicate with me. I appreciate her kindness and patience.

My son had a tooth extracted. He was charged for a surgical extraction. The tooth was not surgically extracted. The gum was not compromised and no sutures were required. It was a simple, single root extraction. Outrageous to charge for a service that was not performed. read more

My daughter had her wisdom teeth removed on 4/20/22 from Dr Gretchen Yarborough. She was in extreme pain from the time the numbness wore off. I took her back on 4/ 26 and Dr Yarborough numbed her up and flushed the sockets out claiming it was food buildup. She was instructed to double the opioids and given another prescription for them. The pain became so bad that she could not stand it, she was sick from the opioids, in horrible pain and begging her Professors to give her an extension on her end of semester assignments. I took her to my Dentist on 5/2 who X-Rayed the sockets and found a broken tooth with exposed nerves left in her socket and she had a pretty bad infection. On 5/5 an Oral Surgeon removed the tooth and nerves. She is still very sore  and avoids chewing on that side. Her GPA also fell due to being unable to concentrate on her work. Dr Yarborough was made aware of this as I sent her X-rays and a picture of the piece of tooth with nerves attached. NOT EVEN AN APOLOGY!! Like she does not EVEN CARE!! read more

Friendly staff, efficient office, excellent customer service. Very pleased with my recent cleaning.

At first, I thought this was a great practice with genuine, caring staff. Now that I've been there a few times, my mind has definitely changed. I needed minimal work done which, unfortunately, led me to have more work done because of the inferior hasty job originally done. I was treated coldly as if the reason for returning with a problem was my fault. I was always charged more out-of-pocket costs than what I should have after the insurance processed my claims and then I was very nastily questioned about it. My very first visit was great, my very last visit was terrible. I will not be returning. read more

Peak Dental is amazing!! The staff and atmosphere is so welcoming! The waiting area was very pretty and clean. I have never had any dental hygienist thoroughly clean my teeth like I had done at Peak Dental! When it came time for me to see the dentist, I knew this was the place for me! She was so energetic and focused on providing the best quality care for me. Peak Dental is in a convenient location and not far from my house! I feel like my dental care is now in the right hands! Thank you Peak Dental for your top notch service! read more
