As someone who has anxiety about going to the dentist, my appointment today went great. Jamie was wonderful and walked through each step before she began which really set my mind at ease. Dr. Herndon was very helpful and I am looking forward to going back again.

Bri was so sweet and made me feel so comfortable. The staff is helpful and welcoming. If you're looking for a judge free, understanding, and compassionate dentist this is definitely the right choice!

I have not been to the dentist in a VERY long time and was definitely well over do. I originally called and asked a ton of questions and Tori immediately made me feel beyond comfortable. Obviously, I was still skeptical due to being nervous and anxious but when I arrived and sat in the chair Brittany made me feel like I had been there 10000 times. They were very understanding of financial situations as not everyone has $2,000+ to put into dental work all at one time. I can definitely say I will be going back until I don't have anymore teeth and even when I don't I'll have them do my dentures. No amount of thank you's will let them know how much I appreciate them for putting my anxiety at ease.

Terrible experience. Staff was very rude. They gave me three different reasons why they didn't want to fix my chipped teeth that day. After explaining I really needed it done asap, they said they would start after showing me the price. They wanted to TEMPORARILY fix my teeth for almost $4,000, with a almost $2,000 (half of the total amount) being paid up front on the spot. This doesn't even include whatever I would pay down the line when it's time to actually do some dental work. I mean they were literally laughing as I was walking out like my pain and issue was some sort of joke. Needless to say I found another dentist and got better work from better people at a WAY more reasonable price. Definitely wouldn't recommend unless you want to spend a couple thousand every few weeks and be treated like a peasant. 0/10, will never go back.

The staff was very nice thanks to the young lady who held my hand while they were pulling my tooth. There was a small issue but other than that it was okay.

It had been a few years since I have been to the dentist. I was anxious about having someone judge me and my teeth, but the dental hygienist was amazing. She put me at ease and walked me through the process. I felt taken care of, and like the team there wanted to help. The dentist took the time to understand my limitations and we came up with a plan. The front counter team is alway smiling and ready for my dad jokes. Great place!!

For the first time in my life I was neither afraid, nor in pain, nor embarassed or uncomfortable in any way. The team at Family Dental Health is skilled and professional but they are also compassionate, friendly and receptive. The office smells clean, looks clean and feels clean. I highly recommend this dentist because I've finally found one I trust with my smile.

First off the office was clean everyone spoke to me and introduced themselves this was something my other office didn't do. When they took x-rays the dentist showed them to me and showed me on a TV screen that wasn't black and white which really made things clearer to me and he told me exactly what he was going to do. They were so nice. I will definitely be back!!!
