My wisdom tooth (teeth) extraction was EFFING mortifying! I told her I could feel everything, and she kept on crunching my dang teeth. The fillings she did, all need redone. One area where she did a filling, my tooth broke in a huge chunk. Her practice needs shut down!

Let me just say I'm very disappointed in this office, my husband referred me to them as he had work done here he said it was great work. I went in had my teeth worked on made more appointments in which I got sick and could not go I was sick for over a month due to covid & the flu back to back I did call and reschedule and then come to find out I was not allowed to be seen there any longer as I rescheduled to many times. I'm sorry but I don't think people want you sick while working on your mouth, they referred me to another dentist in which they sent nothing of my files to them and now I am having to wait even longer to be seen a dentist. Very pore professionalism at this office. I wouldn't refer anyone to this office!!

Dr. Roth and her staff are all just great - to a person. Everyone is kind and helpful and the Doc is tops! Just had three teeth extracted and quite frankly have had cleanings during the course of my life that left more residual pain. I personally cannot recommend her more highly. I have been going to see Dr. Kathy for a few years now and have never had a bad experience and in fact, almost look forward to going. To the dentist!

Always a positive experience each visit. Have been at same location (Dr Roth bought business from the original dentist I started with) for past 28 years. Since I'm self pay they've worked with me on payments. Dr Roth and her staff are very personable and professional. Highly recommend their services.

Dr. Roth accused me of trying to read notes she was writing for another patient at the reception desk. I was waiting for quite some time for a new person to figure out scheduling, and apparently zoned out in the Dr.s general direction. Oops!! I had my kids with me, and in front of them she accused me of trying to read patient records and told me to go sit down, as if she were reprimanding a disobedient child. I was mortified. When it comes to care and bedside manner, very rough all around. Terrible experience.

I went in to get my teeth cleaned and she told me I had 4 cavities. When I was checking out 4 cavities turned into 8 and she was going to do caps on all of them... as far as I understood. I have never had a cavity before so it was all VERY unclear and I was automatically weary because when I was checking out what she had originally told me in the room was different on paper. It would have been 8 caps/fillings and 4 appointments. Just seemed very extreme. I decided to go with my gut and switched over to another dentist. The xrays and medical technology they use at Dr. Kathy DDS family dentistry is so outdated my other dentist couldn't even use them to specify where I had cavities. (Which is a very good way of keeping people at there clinic.) My insurance only covers one X-ray per year so they asked if I could get my treatment plan from her clinic to at least help them decipher a plan of action. I called and asked and the secretary said yes of course, no problem. I drove across town the next day and once I was there she then proceeded to tell me they don't have it... like in their computer systems they just don't have my treatment plan. They printed me off a copy when I had first checked out.... not hand written. It was in there computer. They are lying, untrustworthy and trying to get every dime out of people as far as I can tell. Not worth it.
