After years of debilitating headaches and many incorrect diagnosis I was finally correctly…read morediagnosed with TMJ. An oral surgeon referred me to Dr. Herre. I was immediately impressed with Dr. Herre's knowledge of TMJ. He also teaches other dentist how to treat this condition so I would consider him an expert. Dr. Herre made me a bite splint and at first, I will be honest, the expense was really hard to swallow. However, when you consider that the hour long follow up visits (all included) for weeks and weeks afterwards, it really makes the cost more understandable. Anyway, I have had my bite splint for 5 weeks now and the proof is in the pudding. I went from someone who spent probably 10 days a month in bed with migraines to being nearly headache free. Before I also had other symptoms like not being able to chew foods, ear pain, facial pain and all of it has disappeared. My husband is thrilled that I'm not tired all the time anymore. I cannot say how pleased I am with the results so far.

I have had the same Hygienist, Fern, for as long as I can remember, Louise has greeting me since I started going there and I appreciate the family atmosphere of the practice. Their staff is obviously loyal for a reason. They are a great bunch of people. My entire family sees the Herre's. Over the years I have gotten sealants, fillings and broken teeth removed on top of my regular visits and I have always felt at ease. I am never intimidated and as Dr. Scott will tell you, I never cried! It's a nice treat to go to what is usually a dreaded experience and actually sort of enjoy myself and feel cared for.

I found this dental office while searching for a holistic dentist a few years ago. I was looking…read morefor someone who would help remove all the amalgam fillings that I received as a child. What I found was a dentist unlike anyone I have ever met before. Dr. Shane Nelson is one of the most compassionate and caring people I have come to know. He always listens attentively to all of my concerns, He is honest and patient always making me feel like his top priority never leaving me feeling rushed. It has been such a blessing to find a dentist who is as genuine as he is. Beyond his noble character, he has a true gift of the healing arts of dentistry. His work is exceptional, he is generous beyond any measure, and truly has a heart for his patients. A real artist of his craft his talent shines through his work. His office is comfortable and clean with the top of the line advanced equipment for precise work. His assistant and hygienist are the friendliest, most loving people you will ever meet. They too are talented making every visit a pleasant experience. His office manager Joy couldn't have a more fitting name. She radiates joy when she is around. She is very wise to her profession and does a fantastic job of managing the business side of things always willing to assist when needed. This office truly makes me feel like I am family. It is worth the hour drive I make to receive such exceptional care. I highly recommend Shane Nelson DDS to anyone who wants to partner with a team of such skill, integrity and kindness.

Not only is their social media on point, but it has been the most pleasant experience I have ever had at the dentist. Their office is so open and modern and clean. The entire staff is very welcoming and they offered me water or coffee to drink while I was waiting. Dr. Humphrey is super friendly and makes you feel very comfortable. He walked me through what work he would be doing and answered all of my questions. I also really appreciate that he takes a holistic/modern combo approach to his practice. He was super supportive of me removing my silver fillings, which some dentists may steer you away from. KC Dental Works also has some of the best technology in the city to safely remove amalgam fillings, from what I've been informed. They use several different techniques to ensure that no mercury enters your body from extraction, which is obviously appreciated! I live downtown but it is worth the drive to Lenexa to see this dentist!

As I leave a summation here of what our experience was at KC Dental Works, know that I share our…read morestory in hopes of protecting & sparing other families from the experience we went through. Also be aware that our case is not unique- we know other families treated by Dr. John Humphrey with very similar experiences: I have taken my kids to Dr. Humphrey for the entirety of their childhood lives (4 & 5yo). I followed the directions given by him- toothpaste recommendations, floss and even ozone therapies for my older child. He filled several cavities in my older child's mouth over the course of her 4th and 5th years (even re-did some because they fell out). In October of 2022, we went in for a routine cleaning and were told my oldest child (5yo) had two new cavities (we are on fillings number 6 & 7 at this point) and that he would see us back in 5 months (!) to fill them. Two weeks later, part of one of her teeth fell completely off. I texted the office immediately that evening and got a response in the morning from the front desk explaining that he didn't have time to see us for another 5 months, so we would have to go elsewhere. So, mortified that our "trusted" dentist wouldn't see my 5yo daughter with an urgent dental issue, I reached out to numerous pediatric dentists in the area and made appointments over the next several days. We then found out that Dr. Humphrey had missed NINE cavities in my child's mouth- nine. She was sitting there with 11 decaying teeth in her mouth and he was willing to have her wait 5 months before filling the two that he had found. All of the pediatric dentists that we consulted told me that they could see the cavities with the naked eye and only needed Xray's to view the extent of decay. Subsequent to Dr. Humphrey's expansive negligence, my 5yo daughter needed urgent oral surgery, requiring general anesthesia, 8 crowns and several fillings, amounting to $7,000+ worth of work. In addition, my younger child also had the beginnings of 4 cavities which were promptly and appropriately taken care of at our new dentist's office- 4 cavities that Dr. Humphrey did not find just two months prior. Once a child has a small amount of decay in their mouth it spreads like wildfire so you need an dentist who is thorough, discerning and proactive. Dr. John Humphrey is absent of any of these traits. Please take our traumatic experience and use it to guide you- don't leave your child's (or your own) mouth in the hands of KC Dental Works. I too thought I was doing the best thing, looking for a holistic dentist in Kansas City. But in doing so and trusting Dr. Humphrey, more damage has been caused than I could have ever imagined.

An updated Review…read more It has not even been a year, and every single tooth Dr Ferguson worked on is compromised with infection... new dentist says, the work was not properly done. I actually developed an infection in my jaw and experienced rapid bone loss after treatment in this office. I'm now requiring another 20k in dental repairs. it's compromised at least 3 teeth that were previously healthy. So many dental problems arose after treatment here. I don't believe he takes enough time to clean each area. He works quickly and skips steps, which entrapped bacteria and created a major health disaster. Multiple serious infections in my jaw formed since receiving his care. Twice fillings fell out after a few weeks, and they did not rush to reschedule, often telling me it's fine.....it wasn't. Leave an open hole in your mouth and bacteria has direct access to nerves and bone. My greatest regret in life was entrusting this man with my health and dental care.

Dear Dr. Mayes, I am…read morewriting to formally address a serious concern regarding the treatment I received at Gillis Family Dentistry. I was referred to your office by Teraporn Lowe and Spencer Lowe under the understanding that I would undergo X‑rays and receive a detailed treatment plan to improve my dental health. During my visit, I was informed that 14 teeth would need to be extracted, with the assurance that once I had fully healed, I would be provided with a partial denture to restore my smile and confidence. Trusting your professional judgment, I proceeded with the extractions in good faith, fully expecting that the promised partial would follow as part of my treatment plan. After I healed and was ready for the next step, I was unexpectedly denied the partial denture--a decision I was led to believe was influenced by an unrelated personal matter between myself and my employer. This situation has caused me significant physical, emotional, and financial distress. Denying completion of an agreed‑upon treatment after performing irreversible extractions raises serious ethical and professional concerns. I am requesting, in writing, no later than Thursday, July 23, 2025, the following: 1. A full written explanation of why I was denied the partial denture after the extractions were performed. 2. A proposed resolution to fulfill the treatment plan as originally represented to me. If I do not receive a satisfactory response by this date, I will have no choice but to escalate this matter further. This may include filing a formal complaint with the Missouri Dental Board, consulting legal counsel, and pursuing any remedies available under the law. For transparency, I am CC'ing the Missouri Dental Board on this correspondence so they are aware should escalation become necessary. I sincerely hope we can resolve this issue professionally and without further action. Please confirm receipt of this email and provide your response no later than the stated deadline.
