    Corning Dental Associates have provided my dental care for more than 40 years -- a totally positive experience each and every year. Their response to Covid is typical of their professional competence; they implement best practices based on facts, they communicate quickly and personally, and earn the trust of their patients every day. Thank you Dr. Lynn Merriweather, Rachel, Marsha, and all the other staff who have helped me. David Youst

    Dr. Meriwether is very impatient with kids. She don't make kids comfortable and treat them hurriedly . She often comes late for check up. Very disappointing experience.

    I called your office on May 18th about a possible abscess tooth. The young woman who answered was very short with me, asking "well, how are you sure it's an abscess tooth?". I was not sure, but based off my symptoms (serious pain, swelling of the face above the location of the pain, and fluid build up) I at least had an idea. I called your practice to have someone to look at it and I was very upset that a professional in your office would question me, almost dismissively, when I was in need of help. Later that day, I was seen by a different dental practice, and it turns out I have a severe infection due to an abscess tooth. I wanted to support a Corning business, but my initial interaction with your office was very off putting.

    Nice office and easy to find. Staff were super nice. The reason for my low rating is the service. They advertise that one of there treatments is availability of crowns. When I made my appointment, I informed them what the issue was. A fractured molar. When I got there, 3 x-rays were performed. Then the Dentist informed me that she couldn't do my Crown because they only do simple, straight forward Crowns. She said she was going to refer me to a specialist. I am a medical professional. I pay my dental bills out of pocket. When the word "specialist" is used that means a lot of $ are about to change hands. Being as I was already out a days pay(I'm self employed and I don't get paid to take time off)., I thought it reasonable to get a second opinion. The next Dentist I saw, a week later said "she said what?, this couldn't be any more straight forward." It is worth noting that Corning Dental Associates is well regarded in that community. So, either I happened on a new hire Dentist there that doesn't know how to read x-rays and recognize a straight forward treatment or, they are fleecing the people who choose them for dental care. I'll let the readers of this review decide.

    I've been a patient of Dr. Meriwether's for over 5 years. My whole family goes there and we've always been treated like family. They do a phenomenal job with kids. My son, 3 loves to go to the dentist and always engages with Dr. Meriwether, she is VERY kid friendly. I've never experienced such a caring environment at a dentist office!!!

    I brought my 2 year old in for her first ever dental visit. Dr. Meriwether was not at all patient with her. Before the visit, I did my best to prepare my daughter by watching videos and playing dentist, but she was still anxious about the new experience. Instead of empathizing with a nervous little girl, Dr. Meriwether said things like "if you scream, it will scare the other little kids", "there is no screaming allowed at the dentist because it's not scary" and "it's not scary so don't scream." If she would have taken 5 minutes to say hi to my daughter, introduce herself, show her what she was going to do, etc instead of expecting a young child to act reasonable, the whole experience would have been much better.

    Great place. Had a root canal done. I used to be very afraid and anxious about dental treatments especially about root canals. I saw Dr. Vargas there and he took care of everything very smoothly. My fear disappeared after visiting Corning Dental Associates. They do a very good job and you hardly feel anything. Would recommend this highly!
