They told me we need extra dental work and all I had to pay was $19.00 out of pocket. Well, since they cancelled my appointment due to being short staffed and it went into another calendar year. Then insurance would not pay and I was left with a bill that was not what I agreed too. They never answer the phone and have a lot of turnover with the staff. They charged me $50 on top of my insurance that would typically cover an entire appt (I didn't even SEE the dentist), saying it was a "special" cleaning (there was nothing special about it, and I have clean teeth!), and told me I needed to come back another day to "finish the appointment." My hour time slot wasn't even over. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else.

Once the dentist came in too super friendly, I booked my six month out appointment for my next cleaning as well due to this amazing experience. I will say so many people have jobs because they pay the bills but Andrea really was passionate about her work, keeping me comfortable the entire time and was so friendly.

I've been a patient with Dr Hunter years back along with my children. I recently returned in 2024,…read moreand I continued to give Dr Hunter my business being I knew her from the past and despite she is out of network provider with my insurance. I've always taken off from work to make sure I'm on time and because I knew an appointment for cleaning would be a 3 hrs or more. Yes I continue to endure this the entire year of 2024 hoping it would get better. Well I went 4/22/25 for my cleaning and yearly X-rays...the wait was horrible. I was not happy with my cleaning as well. I refuse to continue to literally give my money away when all I get is we are behind. That's the excuse all of 2024 and on my appt yesterday. Scheduling patients on top of patients with only one hygienist to clean teeth makes no sense. My appt was at 9am I didn't leave until 12:15. I was not happy with my cleaning. Not liking the rushed feeling and treatment I got when I expressed my concern/issue. But today was it for me. I will have to find another provider at this point. I feel like me taking a day off from work and not be happy with the service after the wait is pointless. It was never about the fees because I paid knowing she was not in network when clearly I could have went someplace else where my preventative dental service are covered at 100% vs 60. Dr Hunter is a nice person, but she has got to make changes on scheduling and staffing. The facility is always clean and her assistant's in the back are very nice. Her billing office manager is always come off with a nice nasty attitude which I don't care for at all. And her tone yesterday almost set me off, but I refused to come out of character. My review is based on my past and recent experience and it's based off of my services and treatment of my time. I will find another provider, and gladly pay for exam and another cleaning. I work too hard and pay too much on insurance not to be happy. I was literally be overly nice in continuing business, but I'm done. I wish them continued success. AG

Walking in Ms. Alyssa and Ms. Marie welcomed me and got me checked in. Then Ms. Lacey came and brought me back she had me take a seat and explained what was going to happen. The purple napkin and the silly jelly with some gauze. That sat on there for a few minutes and then Doctor Yarborough she came in and said good morning and talked about what was gonna happen before it did but like in a way that I could understand. Then it was time to have the numbing shot, which unfortunately, for me is the worst part, thankfully this is a place with amazing people where they don't see it as that instead they see it as someone being a brave person that's just really nervous. And they find ways to help people get through that whether if it's with laughing gas, it's with iv sedation it's with medicine or in my case with turning on the TV and having somebody stay in the room and just talk and hold your hands. And that's exactly what happened for Me , Fuller house on the TV, and Ms. Gabby just talk to me while holding my hands, helped me while Ms. Lacey and Doctor Yarborough fixed my tooth, they all were telling me that I was doing a great job. She told me everything she was going to do, so there were no surprises, and before I knew it, I was done. Everybody was super supportive, kind, caring, even with some tears. They helped me with my tooth. Ms.Marie was able to check me out upfront and I was on my way with a half crooked smile on the account that my face was still numb from it being fixed! Don't worry it went back to normal. This isn't just a dentist's office. This is a dentist, family who really cares about their patients, takes the time to help them feel comfortable, confident, and brave, even if they're a little scared and walk out with an awesome smile! All the people that work here are amazing!!!

Deciding whether a dentist is "good" or "bad" often goes beyond technical skill--it can be a matter…read moreof ethics, too. I'm 81 years old, living with poor health, and I made sure to inform Dr Crocker about my challenges, including Auditory Processing Disorder (APD), which makes it hard for me to follow directions or conversations. My health conditions include multiple sclerosis (MS), chronic back pain, and heart failure, all of which make everyday situations more challenging. Unfortunately, my appointment turned into a nightmare. Due to my health issues, I asked to remain seated in a chair until the dentist arrived. After receiving a numbing shot, I waited over an hour for him to see me. As my pain levels steadily increased, I noticed he seemed upset and even blamed me for his running behind schedule. Despite my confusion, I told him I was willing to wait as long as necessary. At some point, I asked a fair question: if he was so behind schedule, why spend so much time blaming me when I had already agreed to wait? That's when he revealed his real concern: I learned later he was going to be late picking up his daughter. I explained that I was already numb and preferred to proceed with the treatment, but this only seemed to frustrate him more. He abruptly stormed out of the room, declaring the appointment over and instructing me to leave. Feeling confused and hurt, I asked a nurse to help mediate. I said we weren't understanding each other, and surely, as adults, we could work it out. Still, the dentist refused to return. I remained calm, never raised my voice or acted disrespectfully; I only asked for clarification about why he had decided to stop the treatment when it had already begun. His response was to have the police escort me out. The stress of the situation, combined with my heart condition, ultimately landed me in the ER. I prayed for him to reconsider and find a compromise, but instead, he blamed me for making him late to pick up his daughter. I reminded him that this was his issue, not mine. He had the power to dismiss me as a patient, but his actions became an ethical dilemma. I noticed that he continued treating other, healthier patients without issue and only forced me to leave--an 81-year-old with significant health challenges. To me, his motives weren't pure. He used his authority to bully a vulnerable patient instead of treating the situation with compassion and professionalism. I was willing to compromise, but he insisted I couldn't make him treat me. He was right about that--I couldn't force him to do anything. But I left without understanding what I had done wrong. This was an ethical failure. A dentist who chooses to work with elderly patients or individuals with disabilities has a responsibility to treat them with dignity and care. My time and health were of no concern to him. His priority was elsewhere, and his dismissal of me felt less about scheduling and more about the power he held. While I could have simply walked away, I believe he must be held accountable for his actions. He got flustered when I continued to tell him I didn't understand and I would wait the extra time . What a terrible situation for all including his staff who had more compassion than he did.

If you're searching for the best dentist in town, look no further than Crescent Prosthodontics…read more After reading their glowing online reviews, I decided to make an appointment for a consultation. Although they were booked out for a month, when I called with tooth pain, they managed to fit me in the very next day. From the moment I walked in, I knew I was in good hands. The staff was warm and welcoming, and Dr. Nick Ruggiero was an absolute delight. He was not only professional but also incredibly genuine, which immediately put me at ease. He took care of my tooth pain with ease, and then spent time going over a treatment plan with me. What I appreciated most about Dr. Ruggiero was that he took the time to answer all of my questions and concerns, and made sure I felt comfortable with the treatment plan before moving forward. By the end of the appointment, I was excited to come back for my next appointment - something I've never felt leaving a dental office before. I've already recommended Crescent Prosthodontics to multiple people because of the excellent care and genuine staff. If you're looking for a top-notch dentist, look no further than Dr. Nick Ruggiero and the team at Crescent Prosthodontics. PS: The dental hygienist is nothing short of a miracle worker. I had cleanings before but never had this great of a result with no pain. I added photos even though the before is embarrassing.

If I could give this practice NO STARS I would. First of all their office is in an old building…read morebasement that REAKS of mold which is why they have an air purifier to try to mask the smell (which does not eliminate the problem) which is a major long term health hazard. Second the office manager is rude, condescending, aloof and dismissive. Third I had made the appointment with Dr Ruggiero to go over a dental situation that several dentists were at odds over treating vs not treating and I was simply there to get his opinion. I had given him/his office all the information ahead of time AND brought it with me, but they still weren't prepared and Dr. Ruggiero blew it off stating that he would look at the things I sent after I left! The whole point in me sending them was so that he could view them and then look at my mouth to compare! The first frustration was the fact that Dr Reggerio was late for our appointment which he then rushed through telling me he didn't have much time to talk to me even though HIS tardiness cut into our appointment time! The only call I received from their office after that visit (for a separate issue) was to ask if I was going to allow them to make me a mouthguard which was astronomically expensive compared to other practices and when I said I couldn't afford it (because I don't have health insurance and had just lost everything everything in a flood which they also knew about ) I got dismissed! They completely ignored the most important time sensitive reason I was there for a potential tooth abcess that another doctor stated had spread into my sinus cavity and could kill me if it wasn't removed immediately yet nothing about that at all! Fast-forward almost a year later I get a notification from a collection agency that I owe them $420! No itemization of the bill whatsoever just $420 after spending under 20 minutes in his office with no clear direction on what to do about my potential tooth abscess which was the most important reason why I was there! I called the office to speak to the office manager about the collection threat and she was extremely rude, condescending, aloof and dismissive stating that "the doctor had to speak with another doctor about my case for 3 OR 4 hours"! First of all it's one or the other not "OR"! Second of all I know this to be a FALSE statement because I know the doctor he spoke with BRIEFLY very well, and the conversation did NOT last HOURS, it was MINUTES and he took that upon himself to do without having any discussion with me about pricing ahead of time. When I calmly tried to address all of this including the collection notice with the manager, she completely ignored the facts and continued to lie about the charges and then hung up on me after stating fight it with the collection agency when they were the ones that sent it to them in the first place and had the authority to withdraw it knowing full well they are being dishonest about the charges! If they do not resolve these charges, I will take them to small claims court and gladly pay the $75 fee because no judge will award them the rest of the money knowing it was a fabrication of time and bogus charges which I will have proof and witnesses for. I would definitely not go to this practice because A. You will put your health at risk and B. will get treated unfairly/rudely and C. they will greedily exaggerate the bogus charges, ghost you then threaten you with collections!
