If you want a fancy waiting area and crisp rooms, dont go here. If you want a place with experienced doctors and low overhead costs, youve found it! The rooms might be old, but they were clean and bright. Dr. Walker removed all four of my wisdom teeth in one go. I couldnt afford the general anesthesia, so we opted for local and nitrous gas instead. He explained everything he was doing, as he did it, so that there wouldnt be any nasty surprises. They checked on my local anesthesia before doing anything, to make sure I was well-numbed. I didnt even feel him take out the bottom two teeth, and despite having to break the top two because they were so badly impacted, there was just some minor pressure and noise. He checked in and told me to signal with my hands, if there was any pain. I was stitched up thoroughly, and given scripts for meds to prevent infection, prevent swelling, and for pain. Prior to the extraction, I had a consultation visit with Dr. Walker that included xrays to assess what needed to be done. The receptionist then took down my insurance info and worked up an accurate estimate for me, which she called about a couple days later. All the staff I interacted with were very friendly and seemed to know what they were doing. If you dont want to wait, be sure to show up right around your appointment time. Unlike some places Ive been, they seem to stick pretty closely to their schedule. Overall, pleased with the cost and my experience here!

The staff are very nice and the price was very affordable however I had an appointment at 2pm and wasnt seen until 5pm!!! They did not even warn me that my wait could be this long when I booked my appointment. I scheduled for 2pm, so I expected to be seen at 2pm! What is the point of making an appointment at all?? 3 hours of waiting around in a tiny, cramped waiting room full of people with miserable, sour faces. Most of them were talking on their cell phones VERY loudly, airing all their dirty laundry to the whole room instead of stepping outside like they had any sense. The atmosphere of this place was very negative and depressing. Lots of people fidgeting, sighing, and bitching about their wait. Doctor had to give me two shots of novacaine (spaced 15 minutes apart) before I was numb which was annoying. After waiting for 3 hours I just wanted him to hurry up and get to work. The TV in the waiting room was fixed on sports network too. I would have much preferred something neutral that everyone could enjoy...3 hours of watching a freaking golf tournament. Ugh. As if the place wasnt miserable enough already. The place is extremely outdated (wood paneling everywhere) The hallways were very dark and dim, and their tools and machines are very old. They look like theyre from the 80s. Also as I was waiting for the doctor to come in, I watched an ant crawl all over one of the machines, disappearing in and out of a crack in the casing.

Made an appointment for a wisdom tooth extraction for 1:30 pm. Showed up a half an hour early and had filled out paperwork. Despite only ONE other person there in the lobby, they called back multiple others ahead of us after 1:30pm. I stepped outside for a minute seeing as I obviously wasnt going to be seen anytime soon, and when my mother got my attention to com back in because they called my name, they couldnt wait 30 seconds for me to walk around the door into the lobby and started taking others DESPITE US SHOWING UP BEFORE OUR TIME AND WAITING PAITENTLY. In other words, they will make you wait but refuse to give you the same respect. Also, it is blatantly obvious they go by priority, and NOT what you scheduled for. I would give this place zero stars of I could. Do NOT come here. It is a JOKE.

My foster daugter went to have upper teeth and wisdom extraction. She was accused of being a meth addict because her teeth were so, bad. She has 5 children. Everyone knows babies can take a lot out of a woman, including calcium needed for healthy teeth. SHE WAS BUTCHERED! Sent home with NO instructions on how to care for her gums. This Dr. Walker should never have made false accusations he cant prove. My daughter has had drug issues in the past. 10 years ago. She is inconsolable and in so, much pain she cant take care of herself. Someone should report this kind of treatment. I am just in awe that this place is still in business. Her excitement of getting her work done and getting her new smile went out the window after the treatment she received at this clinic.

When I went for 2 filings I wasnt numb and I kept telling them but they said their certified not me and kept going even though it hurt like hell, that dentist is really rude and obnoxious. I went back because it was a different dentist pulling my wisdom teeth and I didnt feel anything and it only took 5 minutes to pull one tooth. If it wasnt for the first very rude guy I would give them 4 stars because they have very reasonable prices and some staff are friendly others not so much. I was also told WE CANT GIVE YOU PAIN PILLS IF THATS WHY YOUR HERE when I went to have my wisdom tooth looked at so like I said some are nice others are assholes.

Ive been going here for 20 years. Ive always been happy with the cash discount. I didnt have insurance for the first 10 years and the cost was always about half what anyone else was asking. I am not bothered by the old building and out dated decor. Ive never felt it was unclean. The surgeon removed my wisdom teeth and when he was done the dental assistant was helping me up I asked when he was gonna take them out. It was so fast and had little pain after. The hygienist has went above and beyond to care for my gums and teeth. I continue to go to this dentist because I trust them.
