BEWARE OF THE "RATINGS HE HAS ON HIS OWN WEBSITE DOMAIN - THEY ARE EDITED SO EVERYTHING LOOKS ROSEY, DONT FALL FOR IT! YOU HAVE BEEN SO WARNED! Bad Dentist Peete Lewis with Lewis Dental Group in Murfreesboro, Tennessee on Kennedy Drive, is best described as hateful, extremely impatient, easily angered and abrasive. He wanted my anesthesia to "work" in 2 minutes and when it did not, he became brusque, irritated and suggested for me to go to a IV "sleep" Dentist. He was very discourteous. I was scheduled for a time slot from 8 AM to 11:30 A.M. but they had me leave after cleaning only 1 side of my teeth, I was only there for one hour - just 60 minutes! - I was cheated out of my PAID time, $325.00 for cleaning ONLY the right side of my teeth! What he calls "Sedation Dentistry" is a joke, seriously, a valium the night before and another an hour before the appointment. This is NOT sedation. I was jabbed with numerous large needles so HARD and jolted in so SEVERELY that my mouth filled up with copious amounts of blood, making me gag. The experience was revolting. Of all the dentists I have seen in over 40+ years that has never happened. He was forewarned on first visit that I am anesthesia resistant (red heads have lower pain tolerance - GOOGLE it!) It takes at least 10 minutes of gas for me. He was so sweet that first initial visit, but it was saccharine and fake. He said this was not a problem about being anesthesia resistant and a longer appointment scheduled for this reason, not that did any good because he did not give me the time I was promised. A month later (today) he suddenly had a problem with me being anesthesia resistant. I require Nitrous that actually flows freely through nose mask - (Dr. Lewiss machine did NOT, it was weakly coming out) - I was not allowed to breathe through my mouth and breathing through the nose mask gave me no oxygen/air at all - I COULD NOT BREATHE in the NITROUS or OXYGEN through their nose mask and I told them so. In other words, I could not breathe - period - I was breathing in my own carbon dioxide! He stormed out of the room fiercely in a rage. The Dental Assistant (QUINN) went back to cleaning and after about 5 minutes my mouth was starting to get numb and I told her so. She said "good!" cheerfully and excused herself for a moment and I could hear her conversation as she told Dr. Lewis "she is numb now, can I proceed?" Dr. Lewis (IN FRONT OF OTHER PATIENTS!) shouted out "TOUGH, she took too long!" He was mad at 10 minutes of numbing, furious, totally fuming. Quinn, once again told him "but she is numb Sir, she is all set" and she got another "TOUGH!" in response back from Peete Lewis. I wondered what the other patients were thinking with his acerbic attitude. There was quiet for a moment and then he said "Schedule her for next week and clean her left side - then!" Even though I had an allotted time with him today of 3 and 1/2 hours he screwed me out of a FULL 2 hours and sent me home with only 1/2 of my teeth cleaned. I was there for ONLY a mere hour. Quinn said she could do the left side, she WAS trying, she was really making an effort - but Dr. Lewis said "NO!" - He would not let her. My husband had to take a Vacation Day for this, a day that is now lost thanks to an inferior dentist. I was supposed to have other work done today though I guess that too is "TOUGH!" I have made an appointment with a less aggressive dentist, someone I have seen before though I will have to drive a little further to see him, at least he is gentle and does not use domineering tactics on frightened patients. Peete Lewis, I am surprised that Rutherford County allowed you to open up practice here. You should be ashamed of yourself and seek out a professional therapist for your anger issues. You have turned away a GOOD PAYING PROFESSIONAL today (Yeah, GOOGLE my name too Peete) - I would never suggest referring you to anyone. Seek help with your anger problems -- GOOD DAY! -- Sheri Hooper PhD / Writer / Public Relations

I wanted to write a review for Lewis Dental Group for a while, but each time I attempted, I would get so emotional and I couldnt continue. Today I told myself, I would write this review no matter what. So heres my story. It started with me looking for a dentist because I was at a place where I could no longer ignore my needs for dental work. I started my search and prayed to God that I would find a dentist that would understand my fears. When I say I had a fear of the dentist, I think that was an understatement. Just thinking about making an appointment alone had me shaking and crying all at the same time. I finally got the nerve to call and make an appointment and was reassured over and over again by Deann that I would love Dr. Lewis. I even came to the office a day early just to check things out. I couldnt even get out of the car I was so scared. Feeling stupid, defeated, mad and crying, I left to go home. (True story) The next day, I was prayed up and had my husband go with me. Upon entering Dr. Lewis office I was warmly greeted by Deann. I think she immediately knew who I was by the fearful expression I had on my face. Once again she assured me that I was in good hands. Finally it was time for me to face my fears and meet Dr. Lewis face to face. He was very warm and pleasant and everything was going great until he told me to sit in the chair so he could exam me. Well, it went down hill from there. I teared up so fast and I was shaking like a leaf. I couldnt believe how my fear had once again defeated and embarrassed me. Dr. Lewis did something at this point that I will never forget. He said Rita and Terry lets go into my office. He gave me the time I needed to pull myself together and then he gently told me what he could do to help me. He never rushed my appointment, in fact Im quite sure I caused him to be behind in his schedule. I have had extensive work already done and I know for a fact that God has used Dr. Lewis in a mighty way to help me overcome my deep seated fears of dental procedures. Each time that I have had an appointment, Ive noticed that my fears are getting smaller and smaller. I will forever be grateful to God for leading me to Dr. Peete Lewis. Much Love to him and his staff. Deann, Nikki, Quinn, and Jordan. You guys have been so supportive to me on my journey and I so appreciate you guys. God Bless each and every one of you! Rita Peaks

I have to say, Lewis Dental Group is awesome. I avoided the dentist for years after a couple of negative experiences, and some friends highly recommended Dr. Lewis. As soon as you walk in, the front desk greets you with smiles. I have been there 3 times so far, and only once did I have to wait in the waiting room (and even then, it wasnt for long). The whole staff is very warm and friendly, and they make sure that you are comfortable through the entire visit. Dr. Lewis is very thorough, and explains everything every step of the way. With my first consultation, he took pictures of all of my problem areas, and displayed them on a screen so I could see exactly what he was talking about, rather than just having to take his word for it. I recently had a chip in my front tooth filled, and he and his assistant both spent a good amount of time working on it to get it perfect. They really take time to do everything right, which, of course, I greatly appreciate. They pause frequently to make sure you are ok and as comfortable as possible during the visit, and they keep you updated with their progress, so you arent just sitting there clueless. :) When I needed to schedule an appt with a specialist (wisdom teeth), the front desk called and scheduled the appt for me, and gave them all of my information. I have to say, its the most enjoyable experience I have ever had visiting a dentist, and I no longer dread visits. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who is anxious about finding a new dentist. :)
