Dr. Echard and his entire staff are courteous, kind and respectful. I have had extensive dental work including dental bridges, implants, crowns .. you name it. Dr. Echard has worked with me to fix another dentists (that I won't name) mistake. He and his staff have went above and beyond every time I have had an appointment. You are not pressed to have any work done that 1) you cannot afford, 2) you do not feel that you need. He will advise you but it is ultimately your decision and I highly respect that. There is no other office that I would recommend as highly as Elite Dental Experience. Dr. Echard and his staff are truly the best !! Would give extra stars if I could.

I DO NOT recommend this doctor at all. After I refused him to work outside of my insurance he called and threatened me from his cell phone...also falsely accused me of slamming a self-shutting door and "disrespecting" his staff... (funny thing none of the staff took offense)I would highly recommend any of his "judgement calls" to have a second opinion. Isn't it outside of doctor regulations to call and harass someone from their cell phone? Very childish

Elite Dental is exactly what it promises: a state of the art, highly skilled dental practice. In addition to that, Dr Echard, his hygienists and front office staff are compassionate,flexible and just plain fun to be around. Whatever problem you have, they are going to find a solution that works for your health, schedule and budget. I wish i could give them more than 5 stars. Keep up the great work ya'll!

In order to leave a review, I had to give at least 1 Star--my opinion he doesn't come close to even a speck of the Star. This dentist is all about the money & any way he can make a dollar on you! Be aware! He is rude & a thief!

Dr. Echard and his staff are simply amazing!!! I had a crown pop off that was done by a different dentist and Dr. Echard got me in the same day I called to make an apt and fixed it. You couldn't ask for a nicer Dentist or staff!!!

Excellent friendly and caring staff. Very clean and welcoming office atmosphere. The urgency of our dental needs was treated upon arrival with no wait time. Very affordable prices for those major procedures not covered by insurance. I would highly recommend Dr. Echard and his staff for all your dental needs.

Dr. Echard and his team are the best dentists I've ever been to! They are punctual, explain everything very well and are very driven by patient satisfaction. Never dread going to the dentist anymore since I've started to go to Elite Dental Experience!

I am like many if you and absolutely Hate going to the Dentist! I have always found dental offices sterile and reserved and the office staff cold and distracted. At Elite I felt the warmth in the atmosphere and staff that were welcoming and attentive. Eric did such a great job and had a Wonderful chairside manner that I didn't need happy gas after my first appointment. I live in Elizabethton now and still make the 45 minute drive whenever I need a dentist!!
