    If you think going to the dentist can't be enjoyable, you should give this place a try. It's like a…read morespa experience. Gentle music, calm atmosphere, massage chairs, a blanket if you want - all the things. Everyone is so kind and helpful, and the staff and doctors are so attentive. I've had regular cleanings as well as fillings and, most recently, a crown (same day!) at this location. I have zero complaints about any of these interactions. They develop a care plan with you before treatment, so there are no surprises when you're done. My 5-year old daughter also is seen here and she has developed an early enjoyment of going to the dentist, which I know is uncommon. They are so patient and gentle with her and she has no qualms about going for her cleanings. All-in-all, I would recommend this group to anyone seeking dental care.

    I am writing this review based on my sister's experience working at this dental office, as well as…read morewhat she shared with me about the workplace. My sister is a Black woman, and the way Black employees were treated raised serious concerns for me. She also described what she felt was unequal treatment among employees. According to her, one white employee was allowed to contribute very little to the workplace without facing the same level of scrutiny or consequences as others. This created concerns about favoritism and unequal standards. I also learned about another Black female employee who reportedly passed out after being exposed to blood. She continued working there afterward but was reportedly fired approximately a year later. This raised additional concerns about how Black employees were treated. It seems to be a pattern with Black individuals in general. Seeing Dr. Gooch wearing a "Gulf of America" T-shirt also made me uncomfortable and contributed to my concerns about the workplace environment. Based on my sister's experience and what she shared with me, I would encourage anyone considering this office to carefully consider their options.

    This is the WORSE place I have ever gone to. I paid them over $1900 for dental work than they never…read morecompleted. I am still trying to get my money back. the office manager Regina keeps telling me I have a $210 credit. First of all, I do not want a credit, I want my money back since the work never got completed. The dentist was wonderful, but the staff is the worse. They never call back just keep leaving messages with no return call

    1st off I hate dentists. They hurt and the modern corporate dental practice reminds me of a "buy…read morehere, pay here" used car lot. Sage in Vestavia is a breath of fresh air. Easy to set appointment process. When you arrive, a few forms and you are on your way to the back. Staff is amazing- totally focused on you health and comfort. Highly professional and proficient yet friendly and caring. The dentist, Dr. Shim one is now officially my dentist. Very thorough exam but what was great is the he explains the what and why. You will understand the priority and necessity of treatment. He spends the time to fully explain what is needed. You will meet the office manager Christine. The ultimate professional, she will explain the treatment plan and all costs involved and then she will go the extra mile to make sure you get the treatment you need. What is great is you don't feel like you are being oversold or being given treatments that only help the practice. You get the feeling you can trust her. Short story- Sage is my new dental practice as long as they keep their team intact

    Outstanding doctor and I don't use that very often - she was very attentive to what I had to say…read moreand explained everything to my satisfaction - seemed to have an abundance of education and experience - the only negative is that I'm going to lose my tooth - One month later - Well the tooth is gone and again I have never (in 75 years) seen anyone so professional in their practice, no matter the field. My wife has had the same level of care. Forget about pain, they don't let it in the building.
