Pleasant staff initially. Well decorated office. I had 2 visits with Dr. Alex in 2022 for a second…read moreopinion. Everything seemed fine, until they told me they wanted to replace every tooth in my mouth. Surprised because I had been going to more than 1 dentist every 6 months, for years. At almost 70 years old, I wasn't looking for a Hollywood smile nor could I afford it. I continued to see a soon to be retired dentist that had been practicing in Athens for 40 years. I found out a couple months ago; my dentist sold his practice. Anxious to get a crown placed on my now year-old dental implant, I called Dr. Alex's office on 06/10/2026 and was told the doctor would look at it in the morning, and they would call me back. No return call. I just called back today, 06/15/26, and spoke to Dr. Alex's wife. She explained he was either out of the office last Thursday or didn't have time, and he doesn't work on Friday. She stated he wasn't comfortable with placing my crown on my now signed off implant. Also said Dr. Brett Gray, {Oral Surgery associates}. Dr. Gray holds 3 medical degrees and has been my doctor for over 20 years. Board certified Oral Surgeon. Maxo facial degree, and a medical degree. Emory University trained. Dr. Alex's wife stated he isn't educated in crowns. I argued. " I had 2 follow up visits to evaluate my implant at my oral surgeon. Received the green light for completion. Evidently Dr. Alex's wife knows better. By the way I was told that Dr. Alex hadn't even looked at my situation and was told to go to my current dentist that sold his practice, and is in his 70's, to place the crown. Basically, refused to see me. Very disappointed.

I have been a patient close to 10 years. I love this practice. All of the dentists are professional…read moreand highly skilled. The dental hygienists are top-notch, and the staff are always kind, friendly, and efficient. My two little boys had their first dental experiences here, and the dentists put them at ease and they both had good experiences and were excited to receive their balloons. My favorite thing about this practice is that they are receptive to your discomfort and if something isn't quite right, they will correct it right away. I also love how Dr. McRae's practice makes a point to give back to the community. I would highly recommend this practice.

Get a second opinion before stepping foot here…read more I was told I needed eight fillings and was encouraged not to worry about the cost because I could write six reviews in exchange for $20 off each. Offering discounts for reviews is already questionable--but using that to offset unnecessary dental work is a major red flag. I got a second opinion from my regular dentist over Christmas break and was told I have zero cavities. There is no reasonable explanation for that kind of discrepancy. Being told I needed extensive dental work that I did not actually need is extremely concerning and unacceptable. I would strongly urge anyone considering this office to be very cautious. Do not agree to treatment without getting a second opinion. No patient should feel pressured into procedures or be incentivized to leave reviews in exchange for discounts.

Wow, what a place! I've been in Athens for only 3 years now, and I'm so glad I found Dr. Rice…read more Things I love about the practice: 1- Professionalism of the staff and team. 2- Knowledge of current dental trends and new procedures. Dr. Rice reads medical journals and takes interest in new findings in dental health. 3- Patience with people who are phobic of dentists. Dr. Rice, although somewhat "dry", is an excellent dentist. He will only recommend procedures if you need them to be done, and takes the time to explain his reasoning. For example, i had a tooth with some of the dentin exposed and he explained that although filling the chip in is unnecessary, in the long run it would be wise since exposure of the sensitive part of the tooth to bacteria could increase the probability of decay. He allowed me time to consider if I wanted to do it, pressure free. Dr. Rice is a very calm dentist. He will talk you through each step of what he is doing if you have fear or anxiety about dental work. He is very logical, and most importantly I trust him as a medical professional. In my experience, he cares about his customers and takes pride in his superior craftsmanship. I go to two of the hygienists, and both are awesome! You won't get a better cleaning anywhere.

I recently received a boilerplate letter announcing they are dropping my Humana Advantage Medicare plan. They sent a letter filled with outright lies about maintaining a "commitment to providing compassionate, high-quality dental care". There is zero compassion in dumping the established patients who built this practice in the first place. It is blindingly obvious what is really going on here. They are kicking loyal patients to the curb so they can squeeze higher fees out of people to fund Dr. Lindsey's practice buyout and pay for their expensive new office renovations. They are prioritizing greed, profit margins, and new drywall over human beings, and it is entirely shameful. Everyone in town needs to know that this practice puts profits before people. If you want a dentist who values loyalty and patients, look elsewhere!

I have never had any dental work needed on my teeth (cavity or braces). This dentist said that he needed to dig out all of my back teeth and fill them in because this beeping machine said I had low enamel and that if I didn't get it done now I would need it in 5 years so it was better to do now. I believed him but got a second opinion from my regular dentist. Regular dentist said that I did not need any work done. It has been 5 years and I am still cavity free!

Originally, I had a great experience here but I had informed them I have extreme dental anxiety. I…read moredon't like to talk during exams, and I am often fighting back tears. I went for a cleaning and was very anxious. The hygienist kept talking, and I told her I was not able to talk at the time. She did the cleaning, then told the dentist I was "Not a right fit", and they told me over text message I would have to find another. I apologized for having a panic attack (I was literally fighting tears during the procedure) and they refused to respond. I can't say what went wrong exactly-I was probably a bit short, but also was trying not to calm down. I had previously told them I wanted to have headphones on during the appointment and the hygienist didn't seem to be happy with that. I'm not sure if they were uncomfortable having someone of a different race, but they seemed to ascribe me to a stereotype rather than ask why I was upset or panicking.

I originally found her while searching for a dentist local to my second home. Athens is actually halfway between both homes. That works out fairly well. Her staff has always been kind and friendly to me. I am a bit anxious when it comes to my mouth, but she is no nonsense but thorough and gentle. I believe it helps her practice that she was a hygienist first. In fact, my husband and granddaughter will also be seeing her this year.
