I had not been to the dentist in two years, and with starting college, I felt like I needed to go. I chose Dr. Atherton based on her informative website, distance to campus, and online ratings. Walking into the office was a pleasant experience. It did not scream dentist at all. It felt like I was in a living room and the vanilla helped cover up the "dentist scent" that we all know well. I checked in at 9:00 for my 9:15 appointment and was in the chair getting my teeth cleaned by 9:05! Fast service! The office staff were okay. They were still above average but didn't meet the general expectations of the overall office. Like they were nice and everything. They just felt a bit cool and disconnected. This would have made a four star experience if not for the great dentist and hygienist. They hygienist I saw on the other hand was great! I think her name was crystal. She was so nice and really cared. She was personable and had a really good bedside manner. Dr. Atherton was last and really sealed the deal. She was great! Very gentle, fast, and had a very good bedside manner. I could tell she really cared!
Excellent and professional care. Front office staff is top notch. Never any waiting.
They were friendly. I had a front crown replaced recently. The replacement crown had to be fabricated 3 separate times delaying my replacement by 6 weeks. I didn't realize it at the time, but the crown was noticeably whiter and shorter than my adjacent front tooth when it was cemented. After I expressed my concerns to the office and when I came in for an adjustment, they blamed the lack of color match on my other front tooth because they suspected it had experienced trauma leading to a slight discoloration. In reference to it been shorter than my adjacent front tooth, they said it was because of my gums. Both conditions were present when they took all three impressions. They also told me to not look at my teeth so closely. In addition, I always felt rushed during my visits. It always felt impersonal. For general cleanings, go for it. If you have to have any restorative work that needs to be done, proceed with caution. Communicating expectations of how your restored teeth will look is lacking. I will go to another dentist to have my crown redone who has more experience with restorations and does a better job communicating expectations.
excellent (Certified) the best dentist I have ever been too... wish I had been going to her forever maybe my teeth would be in better shape.. the last ordeal I had with a dentist it was almost like torture and his bedside manner was about the same."
Our entire family sees Dr. Atherton. She has retained the same friendly staff for many years now. It's always a pleasant visit and they do a great job keeping our family healthy.
