I've been seeing Dr. Medley and the ladies here for over a year now having had a few cleanings and minor procedures done. I have NEVER walked away from the dentist feeling good and happy about my experience until I started going here. This place is clean, everyone is very kind and friendly. They have accommodated every wimpy request I've had with no shame thrown my way. My 6 year old loves it here too! I can't recommend this office enough!

I wouldn't recommend them now. When my husband first started going to them 3 or 4 years ago, they were great. He never had any issues with the dental work. I was impressed so I started going to them about a year or so ago. My first visit I sat in a chair for over an hour and all they did was do 15 minutes of x-rays. Not a problem just thought it was odd. Than their financial lady signed me up for care credit BEFORE EVEN ASKING IF I WANTED IT. Which is really weird considering I had dental insurance for both me and my husband which they had no problem charging our insurance until I started going and than all of a sudden they were all about charging the care credit card for the same dental work they were submitting to our insurance. When I started asking questions they got shady. I reported the fraud charges and all the dental work they did on both my husband and I we are now having to pay out of pocket for because Medley Smiles submitted"dental work" to our insurance, maxed out our insurance, and all of that "work" they said they did wasn't even done. Now both my husband and I have to pay for more work to be done on work Medley Smiles said they did. Here's the icing on the cake. Both my husband and I ended up with infected teeth AFTER we started getting work done by Medley Smiles. Isn't the point of going to a dentist is to PREVENT infection not GET an infection in your mouth? When I started asking questions about their billing instead of answering the questions they waited until my husband went in and told him that we aren't welcome there anymore. Are we not welcome because I asked questions about your billing or are we not welcome because you got caught doing fraudulent billing?

What an AWESOME experience! I have been terrified of the dentist until now. I have been going to Dr. Medley for a few months, and no dentist has cared more about my comfort and anxiety than Dr. Medley! Her staff is amazing, especially Kinsey! Dr. Medley has had nothing but compassion towards me. Not once have I felt uncomfortable or pain. Her "bedside manner" is incredible. I am going through few pretty major health issues, and she keeps up-to-date on my health. She even goes one step further and researches some aspects of my health to better educate me. Dr. Medley is not only my INCREDIBLE dentist, she us my friend with AMAZING skills!!

Not recommended. They put themselves first, not the patient. I prepaid for a huge amount of work just before covid only to have to wait until after they reopened. No complaint there but when I needed to reschedule later due to medical issue they cancelled my appointments and left me in lurch to find new doctor. Not cool.

I have had terrible experiences with other Dental offices. Medley Smiles has been the dream of all Dental places. I was utterly terrified of a small procedure being done. They were quick to calm my fears and reassure me that they were there to help. The procedure went smoothly. They have such amazing people skills and the kindest, sincere staff. My family will never go anywhere else.
