Dr Rigdon is great as well as the hygienist, they were amazing! The front desk receptionist was very rude upon checkout. I have never been treated in this manner regarding a bill, very un professional.

Dr. Rigdon is a great dentist, but just... abrasive. But he's a good dentist, so I just let it slide, but his receptionist is a deal breaker. The morning of my 6 month cleaning appointment, I had to call first thing that morning and cancel because I was up all night sick and running a fever. The receptionist got so incredibly angry with me even though she knew I was running a fever, but she stated I should have called 24 hours in advance and canceled. But I wasn't sick yet? But then she goes on to claim that they can't reschedule me until January 2019. FOR A ROUTINE CLEANING. But, I just apologized a ton and made the appointment and moved on. However, my coworker also goes to him. She also called and got in for a cleaning. Two days later. Canceled my appointment and won't be returning. How petty and pathetic.

Dr. Rigdon is the best. I went to see him about getting an implant. I was very nervous because it was my front tooth. Dr. Rigdon was so caring and spent a great deal of time explaining the process. I have never been so impressed by a dentist. He quickly gained my trust. If you are apprehensive about dentists, I urge you to see Dr. Rigdon. You won't be disappointed. I gladly drive from Claremore to see him. When it comes to your teeth, only trust the best, and that is Dr. Rigdon. I had no pain after he pulled my tooth and did a bone graft. I couldn't be more pleased. I have never had any doctor spend so much time explaining a procedure to me. I have since referred a friend to Dr. Rigdon and she was very pleased as well. His entire staff is awesome also. If you want the best, look no further.

Worked me in from the ER for that i give them 5 stars. Dr. Rigdon was very nice and professional. My husband really liked him and WAS going to schedule future dental appt. However, they failed to tell me my insurance was out of network. Only did i find out after i received the Explanation of Benefit from Insurance Carrier. So i cancelled the followup appt, in efforts to try and find an in-network provider. Called to cancel appointment as soon as i found out Dr. Rigdon was out of network and a girl named Rita was very rude to me. I own and operate a medical clinic and if one of my staff treated someone like Rita did, they would be fired. I understand they have a 24 hour cancellation policy, but they also failed to tell me that my insurance was out of network. In my business, which ive been open 20 years, we do try to allow professional courtesies to other professionals such as myself. At least we would find a resolution to maintain the relationship with clients/patients such as myself or others. Afterall, most, if not all marketing, is done by word of mouth and my clinic does run across certain patients that will need Dental Care at some point in their life. I tell my staff the relationship with our patients start w answering the phone, therefore be kind, courteous, respectful, and offer solutions if possible. If it is above your paygrade, please know when to elevate the situation to someone in charge. This review is in no way a slam towards Dr. Rigdon. Btw the check is in the mail.

Dr Rigdon is absolutely the best dentist in the Tulsa region as far as I'm concerned. Very professional, extremely thorough, and concerned with your dental as well as overall health. His personality and chairside manner are also a plus. Always makes sure there is no pain during any procedure, and schedules follow appointments expeditiously. Denise is also awesome, and the staff works with your insurance company so you know exactly what your out-of-pocket expense will be. They also schedule appointments so you have no wait when you arrive on time. I would give Dr. Rigdon a ten star rating if I could!
