To begin with, I'm a difficult patient. Seriously, I.Am.Difficult. To start with, I'm a 20% coward,…read more20% hypochondriac, and 70% just plain introvert (I'm also horrible at math). Dr. Yallourakis and his staff were lovely and incredibly patient with me. My scale of going to the dentist is from 1 to 'bring a tractor and chains 'cause you're gonna have to drag me there'. I had been to multiple dentists and oral surgeons before Dr. Yallourakis. No one, and I do mean no one, would help me with the pain I was in. I'm pretty sure part of the reason is because as soon as they pick up an instrument, my eyes start to water. Some may call that crying, I call it a horrible allergic reaction to metal in my face. Anyway, I read the reviews and was really nervous. I expected to deal with someone, well, you read the other reviews, you know what I expected. I couldn't have been more wrong. Dr. Yallourakis was kind and very matter of fact. He was also incredibly caring about my previous dental experiences and reassured me that I wasn't over-reacting and my 'metal too close to my face allergy' was fine. He looked things over, told me what needed to happen and gave me a plan to make it happen. It didn't hurt my paranoia that his office is in the hospital. I reasoned that I was at least close to serious help if something went completely sideways (sorry, Doc but I didn't know you then). As far as the wait time, they told me beforehand that I would be waiting a while for the first appointment. After seeing him and how thorough he was with me, I know that I would want that same treatment for others. I'm okay with waiting because I know he's providing all of us with a quality consultation. If he was rushing me out, I probably would not have gotten him to do my procedure. The day of the procedure and the follow up were right on time and even a little early. His staff were kind and so considerate, especially after I told them that I would rather be thrown into a live volcano than come back to have my teeth pulled...yes, multiple teeth. They assured me that it wouldn't be as bad as I was thinking and I don't have a passport to get to a volcano anyway. The day of the surgery, it was so smooth and easy. I went in, the ladies comforted me with small talk (I was not a good conversationalist...sorry ladies). Dr. Y came in and I was out. I can't tell you how easy the whole process was. The anesthetic didn't make me sick and, as they poured me into the car, I don't remember much before, during, or immediately after. I do remember someone telling me to open my eyes and me asking, "Why?". She said so that they would know I was okay. I told her I couldn't sleep anyway because I kept snoring and waking myself up. Did I mention that I'm like a cultured pearl or a delicate flower? My recovery was with over the counter meds (he offered something stronger but I refused) and my follow-up was just as welcoming and pleasant. Everyone was, well, just nice. It really doesn't get much better than that. I even have pleasant, although fuzzy, memories of the care I received after the surgery. So, overall, a great experience for what it was. A fantastic oral surgeon that I felt cared about what the experience was like for me, and a staff that were concerned and personable. I already asked if they could come and do my anesthetic for any future surgery I may have to have. If I break a leg and need bolts and things, I'm requesting Dr. Yallourakis' office people to come put me out. I'm serious about this. Don't go by what people say online...even me. Find out for yourself. Dr. Y is blunt and forthright but he's not mean and he genuinely cares about your procedure and your recovery. His office staff and assistants are fantastic and if and when I become toothless, Dr. Y and his staff will be the ones sending me and my naked gums out into the world.

My wife had an appointment on Sept 24 so I call and asked if I could see someone on that date. They said someone would get back with me, no call. I went with my wife to her appointment and asked to reschedule my appointment that they had cancelled for Sept 11. I was told they could see me in FEBUARY. They had previously tried to do an implant for me last year but told me there was not enough bone. My dentist told me to get second opinion. I went to Kingsport and now have two good implants. I didn't want to go back to Kingsport because of the distance but this place has left me no choice.

Dr. Foulk's practice is located in what appears to be a converted residential home which helps put you at ease. From the moment you walk into to door you are greeted by a pleasant environment with a fireplace. When called back to be seen, you are placed into one of several available chairs each of which has it's own flat screen television that not only allows for your entertainment , but also acts as an instructional tool so you can be as informed as possible about what they wish to do for you and your teeth. They can project your records, x-rays, and picture onto the screen and walk you through any procedure or questions you may have. Dr. Foulk is incredibly skilled at giving the best treatment while causing the minimal amount of discomfort possible, which also includes having the most up to date technology and procedures for making your visit as care free possible. All of this combined with having the most pleasant and professional crew of hygienists and assistants makes Dr Foulk the only dentist I will ever call on for my dental needs.

I saw "The Kingsport Team" last month. After saw DDS, she advised plan for OVER $6k work!…read more Week later, my orthopedic surgeon said needed a thoracic vertebrae replacement. Unbeknownst to me...I was required to have my personal physician AND my dentist sign off on neck procedure. My dr (having been seeing him regularly for over 4 years) signed off with no trepidation. Aspen DUNTal - MY ONE & ONLY VISIT there - said FOR THEM to sign off - would require the $3k cleaning PRIOR to surgery. Would not sign off until that procedure was completed. So very typical of a bunch of ne'er do wells!! I do NOT disparage AT ALL the competence of the dentists. What was so shocking was the business practice put in place ("for my safety."). Went to another practice on (3/14). Two in office signed off on it - a dental surgeon and hygienist. Teeth cleaned...& very well too - to boot. I had gone to office with singular purpose: to seek permission for surgery. Although I had to travel out-of-state for the office visit - it was well worth it. They not only granted my request...they faxed the paperwork to my surgeon's office - twice - line busy. They didn't even charge for the faxes! MY ADVICE: STAY FAR AWAY FROM ASPEN DUntal - UNLESS MONEY IS NO ISSUE - ever!!! Suggestion to any: perhaps investing your time & money in a "hometown dental practice." It sure may be more rewarding than aligning with the "super, chain-store mentality." I will not waste anymore time on this site...but am really curious about how the "corporate spin" on this will be. Someone...at EVERY Aspen DUntal site has "the job" of addressing (or...hopefully reading) patient issues and concerns. Am sure position is very lucrative and time-consuming!

A week later, the disk was retrieved due to the fact of no one calling from the office to schedule an appointment.

She also replaced the lower partial that was not seated properly. It was high in the middle and when a bite was taken the front would go down and the wires would scrape the adjoining teeth in the front, when biting in the back to chew the back would go down scraping the attaching teeth destroying the enamel.
