Well this is the 2nd time I've had an appointment and they didn't have me on the schedule. I used…read moreto go here but the dentist there had blood shot eyes twice and seemed like he was high....I commented on that at the desk. Well then he moved to Texas and this clinic got new dentists. It's not a local dentist office. It's a chain that rotates people through. Lately the dentists have been the same but you never know who your hygienist will be. I quit and went to another office, but Covid hit and that office closed. When I had a crown break off and needed emergency dental care no one would take me as a non patient. Summit Fair took me back in after pleading my desperation. After looking in my mouth the dentist told me how important I be seen and do something right away. She and her hygienist that day were very kind and helpful. Open and honest. She did a great job. Her name is still on the door but I've never been able to get an appointment with her since, and I've never seen her there. Today not only did they never call and cancel, they also didn't have a hygienist in the office. The last cleaning I had was pretty rough and I have had a lot better people do the 6 month cleaning. They also tried to push two more crowns. I might need one, but why does it always seen that they are selling crowns?? Oh and magically after I put it off, they sent me a card saying they were having a sale on discount crowns. Today they wanted me to reschedule, but I already took off work to be here, why would I risk a 3rd time with them but having me on the schedule??

Went to Summit Fair. Needed extractions & partials. Paid out of pocket. 4 visits & $4500 later,…read morelies & shoody dentistry sent me to another dentist due to extreme pain with my remaining front tooth, upper rt. After extensive x-rays & review by Dr. K, he advised there is a large infection around the entire front, upper rt. tooth & the upper front left front tooth shows signs of hair-line fractures. His recommendations were for them to be removed & a New Upper Partial. The x-rays are Obvious. The Dr. at Summit Fair, did Not see or diagnose this or advise me of this. This Should have been recommended & done the first time I saw them. 4 visits & $4500 later, here I am. in pain & looking at more than an additional $4000 to Correct the Summit Fair Doctor's work. At the time of my last extraction, cavities were to be filled. The Dr. even stated the visit before my last, "Since you will be numbed up, we might as well do that at that time". Their Office Staff did Not schedule that. Now I am in pain, suffering. This was Not the first time their Office Staff or (I assume the Doctor), had failed in there job responsibilities. Examples follow: *Lower partial was manufactured incorrectly first time. *Office Staff Not following up for appointments. *Office Staff Not Scheduling needed care. *Office Staff stating 2 different amounts of cavities. First they stated 6, then 5, then told it would. cost me an additional $1500 to fill them. *Not seeing the Infection & cracks in the 2 front upper teeth. *Not recommending &/or removing the 2 front upper teeth & manufacturing the New Appropiate upper partial. * Not seeing that 2 of the 5 cavities are Not in need of attention since they are minimal stains on top of the enamel. Thus there are only 3 cavities that need attention. I am a Veteran without dental insurance. I am retired on limited income. I paid my bills in Full each visit. $4500 later I have a partial that will be no good, pain from frt. upper gum and painful bone spurs from extractions. I asked they consider refunding me the cost of the Upper Partial or contact me and arrange to make the necessary corrections to the 2 front, upper teeth and New Upper Partial by performing the work yourself WITHOUT Cost to me after the Infection has cleared. Three Weeks later No Response. Be Warned. Shoddy dentistry. Unprofessional Office Staff.

If you have a need for oral surgery, and you probably would only know this if you visited an oral…read moresurgeon for a consultation, then I cannot recommend Dr. Oakley enough. I had a fairly involved procedure done near the end of 2024, removing a cyst from my jaw (hey, too much HIPAA!) and Dr. Oakley was extraordinarily thorough with the process. I have been back for follow-ups several times, getting X-rays and consultation with Dr. Oakley. He is always thorough, explains everything at my level, and is available for me to contact him should I have any issues. Absolutely top-shelf doc! His staff is friendly and helps to accommodate your schedule, they take most insurance, and they work with you during the entire process. While I hope that you don't have to have an oral surgery procedure, just know that if you do, this is one of the best places you can go in the Kansas City area.

Then on her follow up the next day we were informed that they hit an artery on the initial surgery and they are having trouble stopping the bleeding. I was told the doctors friend had something like this happen to him so they are calling around for a solution as we are 2+ hours into the follow up visit. All the while I am not allowed to be back in the room at all for either procedure to talk to doctors or my girlfriend. I would never recommend anyone use this doctor or staff for any procedures.

If you've ever experienced dental trauma the kind that leaves you feeling embarrassed, broke, and…read morehonestly a little broken then you understand how hard it is to trust again. That was me. After another dentist destroyed my smile and exhausted my insurance benefits, I was left feeling discarded and financially defeated. I wasn't just looking for a dentist I was looking for someone who would treat me like a human being again. Then I found Dr. Austin Rickabaugh in Lenexa, Kansas. From the very first visit, he walked me through every single step of the process with patience and kindness. No rushing. No delegating the important work. No disappearing act. He personally handled my care and stayed in the room until everything was complete. On time. Thorough. Present. For someone who was terrified and emotionally worn down, that mattered more than he probably knows. Dr. Rickabaugh didn't just restore my smile he restored my confidence. He took a patient who felt thrown away and treated me like I mattered. And let's talk about his staff. Every single person in that office is organized, warm, and genuinely caring. You can tell they were chosen with intention. The entire environment feels professional but safe which is rare when you're sitting in a dental chair trying not to panic. If you are scared... If you've had a bad experience... If you feel embarrassed about your teeth... If you think you're "too far gone"... You are not. And this is the dentist you want in your corner. Dr. Rickabaugh, thank you for giving me back my smile -- and for doing it with integrity, skill, and heart. Forever grateful. April M. Broome

I highly reccomend them. If I could give them more then 5 stars I would!

Had a regular 6-month cleaning appointment early March 2026. I advised my hygienist that my…read morepermanent retainer broke off a few days prior. She advised we could get a retainer made for $250. I said let's go ahead and make a retainer - she then asked if I would be interested Invisalign, they would have to do the same scans either way. If I decide it's too expensive/didn't want it, they would just get me a retainer made. My teeth are pretty straight as I had braces as a child. They came back with $5,000 for Invisalign. I said no thank you to that and would just like a retainer made. They then told me that would cost $650. I said that is not what I was quoted. They told me they would call me back. Three weeks went by with no word so I called back. They then sent me in circles, Maria asked why I would want to retain the gaps in my teeth, I let her know that I do not have any gaps.. she then asked why I would want to retain crowding.. I again let her know I had no crowding and asked if she was even looking at my file. She said she was and that if I had braces x amount of years ago not to even worry about it. I asked why the hygienist would suggest a retainer and Maria said "she's not in orthodontics, she's just a hygienist" and then said she could have a retainer made for $350. I again advised that is not what I was quoted and she said "well our prices went up". I said okay, no thank you and please cancel my next appointment. She called back 10 minutes later and said she was "looking at the wrong file" and they would make me a top and bottom retainer for $250 total. All that said, it just felt very scamy and very much bullying. Not sure if they get commission on selling Invisalign or what but they weren't even looking at my file and asking me, in the same conversation, why I would want to retain gaps and crowding.. overall terrible experience. Would not recommend going here.
