In my role as an HR manager, many new employees ask for recommendations and I always recommend Dr. Howell. Every, single referral I have given, has been pleased and continued seeing Dr. Howell after their initial visit. My hygienist is Debbie, she is so personable! I actually get excited to see her and talk to her for my bi-annual cleaning. My husband thinks I'm weird, but he likes Debbie too.

After moving, I saw this dentist for a checkup and was told I needed seven fillings, even though my previous dentist had only recommended monitoring those areas. Trusting their judgment, I went ahead with the work. After the fillings were placed, I experienced persistent dental pain. It hurt to bite down, floss, and even eat moderately cool foods --something as simple as room-temperature toothpaste became painful. I returned multiple times hoping for relief, but only minor adjustments, such as polishing, were made, and the discomfort never fully went away. Years later, I finally decided to switch dentists after living with ongoing pain. My new dentist noted that one of the most painful fillings might not be possible to fix due to its size and that another had a shadow near the nerve, meaning I may now need a root canal ("Doesn't it hurt?" my new dentist asked, surprised. "The other ones hurt more" I replied). I can't help but wonder if some of these fillings were unnecessary in the first place. I wish I had questioned the extent of the treatment before agreeing to it, as I am now dealing with chronic dental pain and uncertainty about my health. I may never be able to enjoy food without pain again, and I'm deeply worried about what my future holds in terms of dental work and discomfort. I'm sharing my experience so others can make informed decisions about their own dental care and hopefully avoid what I'm going through. The other 1 star review here mirrors my experience exactly, down to the flippant attitude regarding botched fillings. I wish I had seen it before.

This is a very dishonest dental clinic. They charged over $500 to extract a single tooth and…read morerequired patients to pay upfront before seeking reimbursement from their insurance. Patients have no idea about their pricing beforehand and end up paying out of pocket without understanding the cost. I paid $533 for a tooth extraction, but my insurance only reimbursed $119 because the clinic's fees are much higher than what the insurance company is willing to cover. At other dental clinics, you only need to pay less than $200 out of pocket, and $179 of that is a once-a-year fee that won't be charged again for your next visit. I strongly advise everyone to avoid this greedy clinic.

AVOID THIS SCAM, graduate students! I was looking for a new dentist and spoke with their…read morereceptionist, who assured me that they take graduate students' Delta Dental and have plenty of grad student patients. She warned me that they require payment upfront and then submit the bill to Delta Dental for reimbursement. When I arrived for my appointment, I confirmed this information again with the front desk and my hygienist. A simple check-up with no problems or peculiarities cost me $300!! Delta Dental couldn't cover more than half because of Anderson's exorbitant rate! A Delta Dental representative told me she'd never seen anyone charge so much. It took five weeks of back and forth with a rude Anderson Dental administrative worker, who kept interrupting me, telling me to stop talking, and spouting nonsense about the importance of communication and recognizing that these processes take time (FIVE WEEKS!? Just admit that you forgot or were trying to wait me out) to receive payment from Anderson Dental after they'd acknowledge that they had misled me. These people are scammers and their workers should be embarrassed that they stoop to trying to steal from graduate students. Never going back.

I've gone here for years and years, but I also religiously take care of my teeth and know that sometimes multiple visits can be needed for a crown or cavity-heck even a root canal! The office is top notch clean, great staff and follow through. Take x-rays on time and when I had a whiney unsettled crown tooth they kept seeing me to get it fixed- teeth are like toddlers sometimes they need a good reset, less sugar and multiple opportunities to perform well. Also-pay your bills ppl.

My main issue is that I called prior to going for routine dental work to inquire if they took my…read moreinsurance. I discovered later that they take all insurance. The big issue is whether they are in the network of the particular insurance. I found this out after my work was done and now I am stuck with a bill of nearly $200. I am retired and on a fixed income from Social Security so these kinds of slight of hand are troublesome. I learned a lesson which will help in future conversations with medical and dental providers. The office staff and dental assistants were are friendly and kind--I am just left with a bad taste in my mouth that this information was deliberately concealed from me--since I did not specifically ask the network question. I will from now on. I will not be advising people to go to this dentist however.

(We provided contact info a month before the appt.)Her receptionist told me this is standard for all dentists--in my 62 yrs experience, it isn't. She recommended an extraction that another dentist said may not be necessary. Add to this that the assistant didn't appear to be trained and had to be instructed by the dentist on every procedure, it was not a good experience. My mother will never go back, and I cancelled my appointment. Spend your money elsewhere.

Can't rave about this place enough! The location is a bit tricky to get in to (one way entrance and…read moreexit for parking) but the staff more than make up for it. If you're looking for a dental office with TVs to watch while getting your teeth cleaned, this is not it; if you're looking for a super thorough dental exam in a friendly environment then this is your spot. Scheduling is flexible as they're open a bit later on weekdays and on Saturdays as well. The hygienist I had was terrific, Kathy herself was in and out of the appointment but gave me advice and information for a longstanding teeth/jaw issue that I'd never heard of before. I'm not originally from the area so finding a trustworthy dentist who cared about me as a patient but also wasn't going to suggest unnecessary and costly fixes was important, and I've definitely found that! A great little family owned practice in Champaign!

While I have a wonderful experience with the hygenists here, the office staff have continually…read moremessed up my personal information, even after mutliple calls and reminders to fix this. When I do call, the staff are often rude and abrasive, leaving me feel unheard. They have charged the wrong insurance leaving me with an unpaid balance they say I must pay before scheduling an appointment or before they will submit a claim to the correct insurance, as well as contacted and discussed my information with my parents despite me being over the age of 18. While my in person experience has been great, the headaches I have had due to this negligence often has me wishing to go to another dental practice in town. When I called to attempt and correct my information the most recent time, the office staff began telling me about my brothers insurance and balances. I am concerned about the handling of private information in relation to HIPAA at this practice.

He checked me over, did a quick x-ray, scheduled my procedure, I returned in 2 weeks . . . and twenty minutes later walked out extremely grateful. I felt so much better. Dr. Brunson is a very fine dentist. Nothing hurt. The cost was way reasonable. If you haven't been to a dentist in a while, check this place out. They take great care.
