Just a rave...it was the most thorough cleaning I ever received. They have so many different tools. I have some cavities and major work that needs to get done....bummer.. but really just a great dentist.

I am not sure if anyone else on here uses him.

We do -- in fact we were one of his first 100 patients. Back when we moved here (9 years ago) there weren't too many around. We love him -- if anyone is afraid of going to the dentist, this is the guy to see. They have something where you put on these glasses and you can watch a movie or TV, which certainly takes your mind off what's going on and the time flies by. One time I even was annoyed because I was watching a movie and they finished the work before the movie was done.

Only complaint is that you have to pay up front, and then send in the form to your insurer. They have the form ready to go, but I'd rather they file with the insurer. They are also expensive -- of course, I'm sure many are but we still stick with him. I think our family has paid a few months of his mortgage

I agree he is very expensive and my poor husband's credit card it taking a hit. My dental only pays for so much and I need a lot done. I am probably paying for his mortgage on his beach house...hahaha!

When I was looking around they all seemed to be like that though. I also wish he had long hours but again all of these dentists have a four day work week--must be nice!

I am glad someone else on here has been with him for awhile. I was nervous to leave my old dentist behind but I feel confident in this drs. work.

Did you ahppen to have any cosmetic dental work done by him?

I couldn't find any dentists in Ballantyne who weren't this way. It's annoying b/c you can't technically use Flexible Spending either until you get reimbursed and I'd rather just use my flexible spending card.

The receptionist is very friendly and remembered me from one visit to the next (about a month apart). She was also very on top of things and knew from the time I entered who i most likely should be so I was greeted by name immediately.

I don't know where their prices rank compared to others, but I did like their practice.

Now, if any good dentist could become a preferred provider for my insurance I might be tempted to leave, but it doesn't seem like anyone wants to be a preferred provider if they don't have to.
