One final thought. . …read more I continue to sit here with tooth pain. Even the Air Force dentists take better care of their own than KayCare. Here's the story. I showed up to a 3 p.m. appointment at about 2:45 p.m. for several procedures. The receptionist said I was an hour late. I said that I was not late; I was early. She said that their system showed my appointment to be at 2 p.m. I showed her the appointment card given me by them on my last visit that showed 3 p.m. She continued to insist that I was late. She told the dentist I was late. I continued to inform th dentist that I was not late and that my appointment card showed 3 p.m. The dentist continued to say I was late and that they would not be able to fully take care of me that day since, as she asserted, I was late. Most businesses who make such errors strive to make things right for the patient or customer. Not her. She continued to say that since I was late, she could not get all the necessary procedures done. It's as if she was not hearing my concern and really didn't care. I live more than an hour from their offices and had to sacrifice other important tasks to get to KayCare on time only to be told I was late when I WAS NOT LATE!! KayCare is the closest dentist that takes my dental insurance. I do not recommend any business who does not put the customer, let alone patient, first and foremost. In this case, I think the dentist puts other aspects of her business ahead of her patients. This is unacceptable.

I have two adult sons with mental retardation, and Dr Boozer was recommended as a good dentist that…read moredoes sedation. HE IS A GREAT DENTIST! Has fantastic bedside manner and my guys really liked him. However, their first visit was really rushed. It is impossible to clean, examine or do bite wing X-rays in my sons without sedation. However sedation was not scheduled at this time. So the hygienists tried to clean as best they could and Dr Boozer looked in their mouth briefly and said he didn't see anything bad. Well then they were basically escorting us out and I asked "what about a panoram?" The tech answered "you can't see cavities with a pano." To which I replied "it's better than nothing!" So they did a pano and Dr Boozer came in to look at it and said "uh oh... that's bad." My son had a HUGE abscess in his gum above a molar. We were scheduled for sedation treatment and left. Had I not asked for the pano, my son could have had some serious medical issues from the abscess and infection. He had not complained about pain, as he's practically immune to pain due to his disability. The sedation procedure was at an outpatient facility and we waited for two hours before they took us back, no food or water of course. Then another hour on the gurney before they took him back. His anxiety level was MAXED OUT! So I decided to look for a different dentist. I made my other sons appointment at Smith Dental and everything was thorough, not rushed, and all in office. The anesthesiologists came TO the office and all was finished very quickly. Very little anxiety and thorough checkup and cleaning under sedation. Now I'm not saying Boozer is bad place.... but they need to stop rushing through it, consult more with the patients parent or guardian during or after exams, and maybe SUGGEST a pano rather than arguing with a guardian about it! That pano could save a life.

After having heard so many good things & having met Dr. Boozer when he visited the elementary…read moreschool where I taught years ago, I was happy to pay the extra money to take my three-year-old for her very first dental visit at his office. Unfortunately, the visit was not at all what I had hoped. The girl who called us back did not even speak to my three-year-old (who admittedly was hesitant) when she greeted us, and acted annoyed/lost when she did not immediately hop on the scale for her. This first contact would have been the time for her to engage her/offer a little prize or encouragement, etc. but instead she just seemed unsure of how to approach her. When she asked her to sit in the seat (which is a bit intimidating with all of the equipment and bright lights) she basically just pointed at it and told her to get in, rather than making it a game, explaining the equipment, or doing any number of other things that would have put a three-year-old's mind at ease. My LO was a bit resistant, but did not scream, throw a tantrum, or anything of the sort. Yet, the worker seemed completely lost as to how to deal with her. The actual dentist (not Dr. Boozer) was nicer (at least smiled & tried to convince her) but other than offering a new toothbrush, did not seem to have any other techniques for encouraging three-year-olds either. I had been told that Dr. Boozer's office had a lot of techniques for putting children at ease, but aside from the small television on the ceiling and some games in the waiting area, I did not observe anything that really helped the visit to go smoothly. As an elementary school teacher, I know the importance of engaging children, being friendly with them, and using fun/games/rewards to encourage them to do new or scary things. I thought that this office understood these things as well, but I was very much mistaken. Of course, dealing with a three-year-old is always a huge challenge, but I definitely think they could have done more to make it go smoothly. Update: I have added one star because I called the office manager, and she was very apologetic and seemed to genuinely care. Hoping I just caught them on a bad day, & maybe they will come up with some sort of a "game plan" for giving a little extra TLC on first time visits so that others have a better experience.

At first I was agitated with this place. My son was complaining of a hurt tooth, but as a new…read morepatient an appointment was months out. The gal wasn't appearing very sympathetic about it and suggested calling the pediatric clinic in Lufkin. I signed up for the waitlist with Dr. Criss and got a text for a first come first serve cancellation 2 weeks earlier than scheduled. Yes!! This place only takes ERS dental coverage (ie state/college employees) and Medicaid, so if you don't have those it's out of pocket. The wait room is colorful and festive. There are iPads for the kids to play on as well. Check in process was quick. The actual dental staff was SO friendly and knew just how to work with my son (who's had some bad dental experiences). He is very hard to get to sit still and keep his hands to himself. (He'll push away the staff if he feels what they're doing hurts). The dental hygienist (by a miracle) got my son to keep his hands on his belly the entire time for her cleaning and exam. She even went out of her way to check our insurance to make sure he was due for a cleaning and it would be covered. (Confusion with my son having two dental plans previously). The hygienist patiently waited while my son picked out the perfect toothbrush for his cleaning bag. She chatted with him in language he understood about better brushing (which isn't easy with a newly turned 5 year old). I also watched the staff have incredible patience with a special needs client in the office that day. The child clearly had an aversion to being touched and compliant, but the staff rocked it with distractions. Dr. Criss was fabulous as well!! She listened to the problems, asked my son in his own words what was wrong and even helped us with other behavior issues (ie - finger sucking). Dr. Criss gave us tools and gadgets at no cost to take home and try. A plus was Dr. Cross grew up with our prior dentist (who's 5 hours away)! The world is a small place and we were blessed to find Dr. Criss here in Nacogdoches. I don't want anyone else to touch my son's teeth. I feel like she's set a new bar for my son to enjoy going to the dentist now.
