Christina loves taking the time out getting to know her patients and making them feel at home. She likes learning the latest technology at continuing educational courses. She frequently wears teeth-related jewelry and clothing. When she is not helping her patients have beautiful smiles, she likes running with her dog, Penny, and spending time with family. She enjoys sweets also!
Kinyatta loves making a personal connection with patients. She enjoys learning different aspects of the field, and has been a part of the Wightman Family dental practice for over 4 years.

Krista takes pride in educating our patients on the latest procedures. She is very well rounded and has been a part of our family for over 3 years. When Krista is not caring for her patients, she like to pamper herself, and is a homebody. She loves binge watching her favorite TV shows and also loves the smell of seafood but refuses to eat it. She loves cutting her grass in her down time.

My husband went in to have a crown fixed. He was told they could not do anything for his temporary relief but to schedule an appointment to get a crown replaced in a month or so. Was charged $150 to just be told to schedule another appointment!!!!

Being deathly afraid of the dentist and everything associated with dentistry, I never in a million years would've thought that there would ever be a day when I was looking forward to a visit. That day is today! Dr. Courtney has worked on my mouth numerous times & with each visit my comfort level rises. In the past, just thinking of a visit would initiate a panic attack of sorts. Now I can plan a visit calmly and actually look forward to the visits. Dr. Courtney and her understanding & gentle nature has turned this big baby into an ideal patient. Now the only time I'll shed a tear is from pain and not from being a nervous wreck. Don't get me wrong, I still have my issues, but thanks to Dr. Courtney and her supporting staff, I can take care of my dental issues accordingly! Rather than putting up with pain and skipping the visits altogether, I now make appointments whenever necessary! I can never thank the wonderful staff enough!

I have been going to Wightman Family Dental for years. While their dentistry is exceptional and the dentists are very caring and have helped me and worked with me on multiple occasions, the customer service there needs a lot of work. I highly suggest re-training some of the receptionist/billers there with some more customer service classes. When I call any business, I expect to hear a pleasant voice on the other side of the phone, not one that radiates to me as "tired and don't feel like being here". Multiple times I have been told by one of the receptionist and one biller that I would receive a call back and in one instance an email and never did. I waited until the end of the day to call and get answers. And in the more very recent incident, I did not receive a call back about a prescription nor did I call as I do not feel as a priority to them. I expect the ones in the customer service industry (which I work in myself) to give the same type of service that they would want to receive from anyone else. So that is why I give 3 stars.
