Highly recommend Dr Corley and his staff! From the front desk to the Dental Hygienists to my recent experience with the Dental Assistant. All are professional, courteous, skilled and caring individuals. Dr Corley calmed my nerves during a rather difficult procedure. NO PAIN during or after. Excellent care. I highly recommend Dr Corley and Emerald Coast Dental for all your dental needs!!

Forget this place if inept office staff frustrates you. The guy they have helping new patients has the worst people skills I can remember. I aledge my impression was, if the doctor is the same kind of dilettante I infer his office staff is, I better entrust my healthcare to someone else. Sad when health care professionals puts so much energy, time, and sacrifice into opening a practice to see it savatoged by poorly trained office staff..Perhaps other will see it differently. But I trained over 1000 employees in customer service skill nationally and I would certainly give the person I spoke with a failing grade.

STAY AWAY, When I called take an appointment. I told them I was self pay and had a chipped filling. It has been years since my last dentist visit due to extreme dental anxiety. I told them I was looking to get info on sedation iv. I wanted to get my teeth cleaned and any other issues they could see done at that time. They said the first appointment would be $150 and would cover exrays and full exam with financial plan. Well. they took one exray of a tooth that was bothering me. told me I needed a cap. Never looked at anything else in my mouth. I told them I was told I would be a full exam, they said I miss understand what I was getting. The doctor was not friendly. I looked at all the reviews before I made an appointment. Boy were they all wrong. I have such high dental anxiety that it took everything for me to make an appointment to get a plan. well $150 later I'm looking for a new dentist could not have been more passed off. BEWARE not worth your money. Maybe they just don't like self pay patients because they can't charge as much as when they bill insurance companies.

I have searched for a good dentist locally and I found a Great one. Dr. Corley a d Staff are the greatest. They all are friendly, helpful and caring. First visit was embarrassing to me because of my teeth and I had to smile. Dr. Corley and his wonderful staff made me feel better about myself and my smile. The work was perfect, the pain was low and the results are outstanding. It's a very comfortable dental clinic and everyone is so helpful. They all listen to their patients and all agree on the next process. Thank you so much Dr. Corley and Awesome Staff.

Poor communication. Left messages with the front desk which were never relayed to the office manager in regards to my visit just a week ago. Fast forward to me reaching out to them today again to get more information in regards to insurance from my appointment last week. The lady was not only snippy with me but she wanted to bring up a past charge In which I knowingly paid for it which was a charge back in 2019. We are now in 2021 and I have not received any calls in regards to a past due amount nor any letters from them and nor was it mentioned in my appointment a week ago. Their staff is unorganized and absolutely rude. If you want someone to treat you with respect then maybe you should treat your patients with respect. The Doctor is great but his staff is awful.

Terrible communication. After waiting 4 months for an appointment, taking my son out of school and taking time off work, still could not get my teeth cleaned. This was due to the fact that they wanted FULL PAYMENT from me even though I have insurance that covers 100% for all preventive services. I was informed all I would have to pay was my deductible which I was planning on doing but because I couldn't pay 800+ for 2 cleanings up front and WAIT on a reimbursement from my insurance they would not accept us to do our cleanings. It's amazing to me that they will call you and email you multiple times to remind you of your appointment but just expect you to have extra money to pay them upfront because they don't want to wait on insurance payment. Save your time and don't ever go here. Clearly all they care about is money.
