An amazing dentist and staff. While working on my fiance he explained the entire procedure and what he was doing while he was doing it. I never felt out of the loop. His patient centered mindfulness and professionalism is outstanding. The staff is also on the same level and ask if you need to use the restroom or anything else before your visit starts. The waiting room and entire office is also immaculate and doesn't give you the "dentist office" vibes either, it really feels like a nice environment. Dr. Field even asked questions about us and my schooling. Seems like a genuine person and staff that love patient interaction. This is the kind of dentist you and your family grow up with. We've tried the chain dentist office in dothan and it isn't in the same league as this place.

Such a fantastic group of genuine and kind staff here. Dr. Field was more than patient and went above and beyond with explanations of everything he was doing and plans to do. I didn't catch the name of his assistant but she was also so kind and gentle during my crown process. After tons of bad experiences with dentists in Dothan I can confidentially say this is one of the best offices in town!

If you have any dental work, begin by going to Dr. Field!! I am an anxious dental patient from some bad experiences in the past and he and his wonderful assistants, hygienists and office staff made me feel at ease while preparing me for my crown. I didn't even feel the novicane shots. His staff actually 3-D printed my crown in advance. I have never seen that done before. Dr. FIeld is extremely meticulous in his dental work and takes the conservative approach. If you want to keep your teeth intact like I do, this is important. He is the best dentist I have ever been to. The staff is professional and cheerful and the office is very clean and their appointments, when urgent like mine were, are prompt. 5 out of 5 stars.

I had a bad tooth infection that traveled to my throat and jaw (swollen) and had been to the hospital back and fourth for 5/6 days. The nurse at the hospital RECOMMENDED Dr Fields office ! I called them and they were willing to take me the same day I called after explaining my story. They saw my infection and recommended/referred me to a oral surgeon ! I go get surgery on Monday so I can have relief. The staff here was AWESOME and SO ACCOMMODATING. They seemed to be honestly concerned with my condition ! I will be coming back for a root canal soon. Awesome staff, awesome dr!

I visited approximately 6 months ago and had a good experience. I was trying to look them up to schedule my next cleaning and saw some bad reviews on other sites. I figured it is only fair to let everyone know... they were clean, friendly, prompt and helpful. I have only had a routine cleaning here so I cannot speak on other services offered. I can say that the cleaning is a good price for people without insurance and they do accept care credit as well.
