Over time, Mikes role at Family Dental Health has shifted from full time patient care (2006-2015) to full time operations management (2015-present). He manages from the trenches by spending most days in various practices working with doctors on their clinical objectives and career goals while keeping abreast of new opportunities for advancing patient care.

First of all, I want to say I can't stand going to the dentist. I want nice teeth but simply hate the sound of that drill they use and the issue of having my mouth open the entire time. Some of you would agree..... But, I found this place to be very professional and the doctor?? This doctor didn't hurt you. Or try try to open your mouth wider than it'll go. Because I have had dentist open your mouth so wide they can put their head inside lol. Or at least it felt like it. I sincerely felt as though I was taking very good care of.. actually I don't think I could have gotten a better service with any dentist in Greenville South Carolina.

I was extremely nervous but from the receptionist all the way to Dr. Moss was exceptional!! They explained everything before they did it and they were extremely thorough all the way to my treatment plan. Tabitha, Missy, and Dr. Moss were quick and made me feel so welcome. I'm actually writing this after my procedure. Would recommend to anyone especially if you have a phobia of dentists they understand and will work with you... they are definitely worth the drive if you live out of town. 5 stars or the highest rating you can give ...hands down!!

I was devastated to hear about my referral to have my wisdom teeth taken out was as far as next year. I knew that God would work it out as the front desk ladies were able to have me seen today. They knew I was in pain and said that would be glad to keep calling as I requested until someone said yes and that's what they did. Thank you for your kindness and super customer service.

I have been a patient of the Family Dentist Family for a number of years after the retirement of my former Dentist.. I explained to them that I had a phobia of being in the Dental chair, from their we formed a beautiful relationship. Dr, Butler, Jada and our nurse along with the receptionist are the best!

They won't make you feel shamed if you haven't been in a few years or if you have a lot of cavities. They are very nice friendly and encouraging to keep a nice dental record.

Today was my first appointment and it was the best dental experience I've ever gotten! They made me feel so comfortable (childhood trauma history) due to that alot of dental health history. They have found plans that are affordable realistically for me as an individual and treated me so amazingly great that I left in tears. I am so grateful for coming today and I can't wait for my next appointment! Thank you for being very caring to my trauma that has took alot from me and my teeth health and making it a positive reality that I'm actually able to get fixed thanks to y'all ! This is the new beginnings to a brighter smile and a better me ! This meant the most to me . You have definitely made me happy THANK YOU THANK YOU
