As a dentist, I am honored that each patient trusts me to take care of oral health. I love that I care for a diverse community and the uniqueness of each person. Its rewarding to get to know a patient, and builda relationship, and I smile when peopleopen up and tell me they look forward to visits.
For me, dental care is a journey I take with each patient. It starts with our first conversations, as I learn who they are and their smile goals. Together, we figure out how to achieve that goal. As we work on improving the personsoral health, we get to know each other and often become close. The best moments are when weve finished treatment and I see the genuine happiness in their eyes and smiles.
My days are filled with wonderful conversations as I help others. Whether Im caring for a child at his or herfirst trip to the dentist, relieving pain, restoring function, or making a smile even more beautiful, Im touching lives. Dentistry is so much more than treating teeth: Its caring for peopleone-to-one. I cannot imagine a more fulfilling way to spend my days.
Being a dentist carries great responsibility. This is a constantly changing field, with ongoing advances in technology, materials, and techniques. My patients trust me to provide the best experience and results; continuing education allows me to exceed their expectations.
I was a military child, so I lived in several places while growing up. Prior to moving to Missouri, we lived in Okinawa, Japan for four years. Ive lived in Missouri, near Fort Leonard Wood, since I was eight. I currently live in Independence.

Linda was honestly the best. She was very easy to talk to and put my mind at ease. The doctor was very informative and made me feel like there was hope to save my smile. Shandolyn at the front was very nice and welcoming and took the time to explain everything to me. Cant wait to start my journey with this group!!!

Went here for a brief moment they are professional I'll give them that but I'm just a little disappointed as I was told I had a few cavities which was going to run me close to $200 not a problem but seemed unusual as I haven't had cavities since I was kid not even while pregnant so I finally got my second opinion done and no cavities were to be found they triple looked over my teeth and nothing. Also not sure of the name of hygienist but it was only that one who talked to me like I didn't have money for services or if I jumped she kept constantly asking oh do you wanna stop? Like no I'm already here and I have money just disappointed.

I have been terrified of dentist after horrific experiences throughout childhood. I finally took the leap to begin my dental journey again. I chose Green Hills after reading such great reviews. When I tell you they are so laid back and welcoming, I meant it! Every single person I encountered addressed me with kindness. I was praying to get Linda after seeing she was so celebrated. I can say... every one was right!! She helped me through a panic attack, listened to and encouraged me. Thank you, Linda! I was okay to proceed with the procedures I never would have before. Dr. Erskin made sure I was comfortable, numb and let me take breaks. I didn't catch receptionist's name but she was awesome too! Had appts, insurance and quotes all lined out before I was done with procedure. I believe there are multiple branches that you can go to if there is a service needed not at this office.

Excellent all the way around. Lynn did a wonderful job cleaning my daughters and my teeth. Our dentist was lovely as well and didn't push for unnecessary procedures. My appointment was on time and felt like it went by quickly and painlessly. Overall, it was the best experience I've had in a while. I especially appreciate not getting lectured about falling behind on my appointments during the last 2 yrs. I was so happy to find a dentist that was both nice and affordable. I highly recommend Green Hills.

You may not think of going to the dentist as a joy. As for Green Hills Dental, you can count on it. So impressed with the cleanliness, professionalism, and the personal attention from the dentist and especially the hygienists. Sam has taken care of me pretty much every time. She is quick, efficient, and very thorough. More so Samantha is always enjoyable, personable, and just a grand delight. Thank you all, very much appreciated.
