Hear What Our Patients Are Saying

Dr Burgess Talks about the Practice

Well, really what sets us apart from other practices and why patients should come here is because we really reach out to patients and try to include them as a family member in our practice. We would like to treat our patients as we want our families treated, as if they're going to a dentist somewhere else, and that really starts out from the beginning. The way we have a conversation with you, the way we listen to you, the way we schedule your time to come in and and get to know you a little bit first so you can relax a little bit so we can understand really what you need, and then at some point when we've reached that point and we understand each other a little better, I understand you more as a patient, then I'm able to give you the best care, and you'll understand it.

You'll have less anxiety, fear, whatever pace you want to go forward with the treatment, everybody's different. Everybody gets a customized plan. Our office philosophy and our team values really revolve around our mission statement, which is really comprehensive care, which starts with a comprehensive exam. That's the beginning of comprehensive best care. What that really means is we come in and we get to know you. We have a complete examination. We have plenty of time scheduled, so we're not rushed. We get to understand your needs, understand your fears or obstacles, all those things that really are going on inside your head. Most people don't like to come to the dentist, so we're here to help you overcome a lot of those anxieties with this comprehensive look at things, a complete exam, all the records we can really look and understand your medical history, your dental history, look at the things that are going on and our philosophy, really comprehensively means we can provide you with predictability, with comfort, with excellence, and give you some treatment options as we can.

J. K. (Verified Patient)

I hate going to the dentist. ABHOR IT! So much so that it has actually been 10+ years since I have gone. Embarrassing to admit that but I feel it shows my exact level of fear and hatred for making the dentist a part of my life. Needless to say, I made a decision to incorporate more self care in my life and part of that promise to myself meant I had to face going to the dentist. I selected Smiles by Burgess because they accept my insurance and had good reviews. The first visit I was met with an incredibly friendly staff. I have had to go a total of 3 times in a matter of 2 months and each time I have been met with genuine friendliness. They are like the Chick fil A of dentistry. Efficient, communicative and great follow through. Brandi always calls me for appointment reminders and is consistently full of joy and comfort. She is the first person that greets me in the office and is so welcoming. My hygienist, Karly is caring, friendly and thorough. She was my hygienist for all 3 of my appointments. I appreciate having the same hygienist as I feel this helps build a trusting relationship. She answers all my questions and takes great care in making sure I am comfortable. She isn't pushy with the "extras" (e.g. fluoride, laser treatment) - she provides the information and education and then lets you decide. She actually suggested I look into an electric toothbrush and waterpik. Best recommendation ever! I'm so glad that I invested in those two items. Total dental hygiene game changers for me. I had deep cleaning performed which entailed receiving local anesthesia. I was so scared to receive the injections but Dr. Burgess administered it in such a way that was so smooth and with little discomfort (I have a very low pain thresh hold). Donna, the financial coordinator is wonderful at reviewing and explaining your patient responsibility. She goes the extra mile to let you know what your insurance covers, what you will be responsible for and I GREATLY appreciate that. And she does it BEFORE your scheduled visits so that there are no surprises. Insurance benefits can be daunting - heck I STILL don't understand it and I worked in healthcare for 3.5 years. I have to make my money stretch and so having someone help me plan my payments and provide the expectations up front helps me be realistic about what I can do NOW vs. what I may have to schedule at a later time. Overall, I am really pleased with my experiences at Smiles by Burgess. Due to my lack of regular dental exams I now find myself needing to return every 3 months to correct MY negligence. Don't let that happen to you. If you have had negative dental experiences in the past - I challenge you to give Smiles by Burgess an opportunity to change your mind about dentistry.
