THANK YOU DR. FARST!!…read more I went to Rose Dental in Round Rock last year and was told that I had $2800 worth of dental work that I needed. I couldn't believe that I would ever need 4 crowns, a two-step deep cleaning, and that I had a cavity on top of all that. I just felt like something wasn't right. Unfortunately, I had to wait several months until my insurance changed before I could see an out-of-network dentist. It was so worth the wait. I went to see Dr. Farst thinking that I had atleast a few issues going on with my teeth. the hygenist took my digital x-rays, then only recommended a regular cleaning on my teeth. She promptly cleaned my teeth, and the polished them. Dr. Farst came in and evaluated my x-rays, and said that I looked fine, and only recommended that we keep an eye on one tooth in the future for a crown, and I did not have a cavity. I was so grateful. I am going to keep going back. It is a great office with great staff. I couldn't have been more pleased. I thank them for their honesty!! DON'T EVER USE ROSE DENTAL. THEY ARE OUT TO DRAIN YOUR CHECKBOOK.

Dr Farst has been my dentist for over 14 years. He has always been so pleasant, gentle, concerned,…read morepreventative and he personalizes his care; he even suggested they only take XRays every two years instead of once a year as I am fortunate enough to have no dental issues. His staff has always been pleasant for the most part and appointments are easily made or changed. I have however moved on to a new dental office - in part because Dr Farst is so far away from where I live now and also in part because IMO Dr Farst's office is a bit behind in the high-tech advancement department.

Jeff was my dentist for maybe 30 to 35 years. Never once did he do a procedure, xray, or work he…read moredidn't feel he could do or deemed necessary. He also didn't jump right in to do one either. He took a "wait and see" attitude and kept an eye on it. The if it needed it, he took care of it. He preferred to refer you to highly qualified experts which I find an asset rather than having someone fumble their way through a procedure and perhaps do more harm than good. No, Jeff isn't for everyone. He doesn't suffer fools gladly, and he didn't want to do children of any age or adults with past dental traumas. But there is a very, very good reason why. He served as a medic in Vietnam during the war, and was there on the day of the famous evacuation of families and children. Beyond that I cannot say because he is a man of integrity, respect, and intense privacy. Once when I asked Jeff to treat my then 8 yo son he told me to take him to a pedodontist when my son cried upon seeing the needle. It was only later that I could guess why. I miss him, and it hurts not to be his patient anymore. I have yet to find a dentist I know I'll stick with. Jeff wasn't in it for the money. A living yes, but not the money it would take to dress up his office with remodeling, plush furniture, paintings, and decorations. That can help or hurt a dentist. Those who "judge a book by its cover" may find the "70s" decor with cinder block white painted walls, and mementos of his life and framed collages of his time in Vietnam off-putting. And yes some of his major equipment showed wear and tear, but it worked just as well as the new 2016 showroom floor models. It also meant it kept his overhead down, way down. I don't know how much less but my cleaning earlier this year cost at least four times the $69 for cleanings Jeff charged and Jeff did the cleaning. He would say several times over the years, he'd rather keep his prices low so people would get dental care, than not and suffer through worsening conditions. Yes, Jeff is and was becoming a crusty old man, but the situation that caused his retirement wasn't the only serious condition which he had to fight. He never let on about it. Sometimes, after he knew you well enough and a relationship had developed, he let little snippets out. I can safely say, he was an Aggie of the Brigade through and through, with a backbone of steel to take him through the dark times, and love of humour, and every corny Aggie joke out there to share. For a number of years he donated his time to nursing homes, telling jokes, and doing other things to bring laughter to those who are forgotten, the elderly. For those who feel going to a dentist in a well decorated, plush, elegant office, with lots of staff, and lots of the newest, latest tools of the trade, then that is where they should go. It doesn't mean the quality of their work is better or necessary. It means there's a big budget to take care of those things. The same for offices with multiple dental specialist for just about everything. The practice's fees pay for it, and when your insurance runs out, it comes from your pocket. It's going to take time to find a new dentist, one who has just some of the same qualities as Jeff, a no frills skillful dentist with commensurate fees to match. The only good thing to come from his retirement is I take better care of my teeth now than I did before. Jeff is a good man and a good dentist who cared more about his patients than his bottom line or how nice his office looked. I miss him.

I was calling around and what made me choose to make an appointment was the absolutely charming lady who is his receptionist. She was extremely accommodating with the scheduling, very pleasant and easy going with everything that we wanted to have done.

They were able to get me in for an appointment hours after calling them. Check in, even as a new patient, was a breeze! They are state of the art here, have all your information at their fingertips and show you instant X-rays in your private room. The waiting area has a flat screen and is very comfortable, but I was not waiting for more than a few minutes. The examining rooms also have cable TV Dr. Roland took lots of time to explain my treatment options and costs and Elizabeth (Technician) was very knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. Dr. Roland was not rough at all, and the whole experience was pain free. While not the least expensive in town, Austin Dental definitely takes time to make sure your treatment plan makes sense and your teeth look good. They spent a lot of time making sure that my temporary crown looked nice. Cost for Exam, X-rays, Root Canal with Porcelain Crown (plus temp), 2 fillings, and scaling was about $2800. They gladly take most insurance as out of network as well as payment plans or Capitol One Health Care Loans.

From the moment I stepped into Dr. Schrader's office I knew it would be different. There aren't a million people in the lobby waiting for their turn. All of his chairs aren't filled up with people while he runs to each one and to quickly assess the problems. No. He spends time with you and talks to you about any problems you may have. He asks about your day, your life and your health. He may gently reprimand you for not flossing, but we're supposed to floss dangit! If you can change dentists, you should. This guy and Cynthia, his wife, are just amazing people that will put you at ease.

She later called me back saying I didn't have it and to call my insurance company to talk to them. After calling my insurance 3 times to verify everything was correct, she still said it was wrong, even though I got the feeling that she only tried once. I repeated my info to make sure she wrote it right, but instead of saying she made a mistake, she told me that I told her my birthday wrong. She even got me to have my HR dept call her and she still was focused on her one wrong attempt at verifying. I later got an appt with another dentist easy in 5 min. and wasted my whole morning with her. I don't know about the dentist, but the customer service alone makes me think negatively about the place.

When I got up to check out, it was 85. I let them know I was told 2x it was 70. I know it is $15 difference, but gee honor the price I was told TWICE. Another thing was that my regular ortho called to say I should bump up one wire (016). I told them this on the phone. When they were putting on the wire, I again mentioned ghis. The tech told me they don't use the 016 there. Why not tell me on the phone so I could go elsewhere? ?? Instead, they bumped me 2 wire sizes. I wouldn't use them again. I will drive the 2 hours to my regular ortho.

Pros: My husband liked the dentist well enough…read more The office scheduled my husband in fairly quickly after he had a crown (done by another dentist) fall out. They recommended us to a good oral surgeon when it became needed. Cons: We showed up for the first appointment of the day and my husband was left sitting for 45 min to an hour. No apology or explination for the wait. Our time has value, some sort of explination would have gone a long way. I had a hard time with the manner of the front desk lady. She was brusk. Poor billing communication. When we got our explination of benefits, it said we owed some money. (Normal insurance stuff, not the fault of the office.) I called and asked if I could just pay the extra before going on a long trip so my payment wouldn't be late. The front desk assured me that their calculations were correct and wouldn't let me pay because I wouldn't owe any money. I came home to a bill for the amount listed on the explination of benefits in my mailbox! Fortunately my check made it in time so I didn't owe late fees!

From the moment I entered his office it was a caring (fun!) and professional experience. Waited no more than 5 minutes until taken back into the treatment room. Dr. Mysse greeted me in a friendly manner asking me general questions before asking me to "open wide". What I respected most was after the initial consultation he fully explained what needed to completed. Extremely thorough and in laymen terms. I just completed my first procedure yesterday. Again, professional treatment with all my questions answered. I can't say enough good things about Dr Mysse and his staff. Highly recommended.

Ok, so my now ex husband needed his wisdom teeth out bad! No dental insurance + lots of pain = big…read moreproblem. Every where we went wanted $2000 - $3000. There's another problem. A friend of mine recommended Dr. Leigh as someone who was known for not recommending unnecessary dental work and as someone who worked with people without insurance. I can't remember the exact figure, but I think we spent around $1000 total for all 4 wisdom teeth. Sure, it is a little hole in the wall shop, now on Palm Valley Blvd. by the way, and not very great service from front desk staff, but the actual dentistry was good, well done with no issues, and I could actually afford to get it done. Needless to say, I will probably be seeing Dr. Leigh soon too, as I now need dental work done and still have no insurance. I know with Dr. Leigh that he understands the concept of "worse things first" and will let me know truthfully what has to be done now, and what can wait. Yes, I love dentistry, but I also love being able to eat and pay my rent. No lectures here, no list of 95 things you need to do and buy, just basic dentistry, flat rates, and fair, affordable prices... seriously, no frills here, but I don't need frills. I need my teeth not to hurt.
