Fantastic experience from start to finish. Warm welcome from CJ at the front desk, smooth checkin, and Carrie and Dr. Hadley have wonderful bedside manner. They made my root canal as painless and "enjoyable" as imaginable. they're out-of-network for us but I liked them so much, I'm encouraging my wife to visit them soon.

I arrived early for my 11:15am cleaning appointment hoping that would get me in and out sooner since this was my lunch break. Unfortunately, they were running about 20 minutes behind and I didn't get in till about 11:35am. Then it took about another hour to complete the cleaning. They are usually prompt and efficient...I guess I caught them on a bad day. The problem with most Dr offices is that if I had been 20 minutes late, I would have probably been asked to reschedule and potentially still be charged for the visit. Hopefully it will be better next time.

I've been a patient for years.. feel welcomed and at peace. Unfortunately I've not done my best job maintaining my bottom teeth that has needed repair for years. I scheduled an extraction/consult for one of those teeth and it was pulled and we discussed that the others need a care plan too. Even though it's hard emotionally to have several teeth pulled, it's the best thing as it relates to health. I love my dental care staff there from CJ , Ms. Holly and of course Dr. Hadley. I wouldn't even fathom trying to go anywhere else-ever! They take care of me and truly are a concerned professional loving dental staff.

Went into Dr Hadley's office for an evaluation for a cleaning. I had been treated at their office prior for a deep cleaning on one half of my mouth. I completed the right side with no sedation or gas and there were no issues. Dr Hadley came in and I let him know immediately that I hate being at the dentist. He stated he understood and he would do his best to make the visit easy. We were both smiling about it. He reviewed my X-rays and told me that I had to be sedated to do a deep clean. I asked why since that was not done last time. He said for it to be done effectively and for my comfort level AND THEIRS, I need to be sedated. He said that there was still scaling left over from last time they did the work and that they didn't know because it could only be seen on the X-ray they took today. He further stated - you are going to have a really bad experience anywhere you go without sedation. (Great for my dental anxiety) I expressed concern that sedation sounds expensive he said "oh yes, it's very expensive, but it's less expensive than your teeth falling out." He said that I would be out of pocket 3-4K. I said that wasn't in my price range attics time. He then said - we want to help you. I started to get up to leave stating that it will probably take me a while to save. I told him I was currently having discomfort. He stated again, " I really want you to have this work done -again it's going to cost more if your teeth fall out". I stated once more that I could not currently afford that. He then asked, CAN YOU SELL SOMETHING? I walked out and went to check out at the front desk, in shock and now in paralyzing anxiety that all my teeth would fall out if I did not get this cleaning. I was told my record would. be forwarded if I need them.I asked to have them emailed while I waited. Dr Hadley came to the front and asked me (in front of the desk staff) to please accept his sincerest apologies. He did not charge for the visit (which insurance would have covered anyway) I told him that I couldn't. believe he asked me to sell something - that is so inappropriate. I asked him why he didnt talk to me about a payment plan (payment options) if you really want me to get the help I need (OR refer me to someone who does do them if your motive is for me to be well. I had no prior knowledge that the office does not do a payment plan for something that expensive) He replied "I don't do payment plans. I'm not a bank". Then he said, "we don't take medicaid, we aren't a charity". He then began to scream at me at the front desk. He said I was the rudest person who had ever come in his office because I said 'I hate you' when he walked in to examine me. He screamed that I hurt his feelings WHAT I ACTUALLY SAID WAS THAT I HATE BEING AT THE DENTIST. He said the no one has ever said that to him. He also said that I was rude to the front desk staff. They did not agree them. At this point I was in tears. I left feeling humiliated. I'm sure he will try and somehow blame me for his inexcusable words in his response. Dr Hadley's words today were both sickly unethical, inappropriate and fear provoking. Stay far away.

I can't say enough great things about this dentist. Every single person I interacted with there was so kind, patient, listened to every concern I had, and put me at ease fully explaining everything and putting a plan together for my dental concerns. I would highly recommend them to anyone. So grateful to have found them!
