Southside Dental Care

I really liked this dentist. He's super cool, non judgemental, and extremely competent. I will return here for any future dental care. Which will be tomorrow because I skipped my follow up appointment and I should of listened to him. The front desk lady is a lil bit jaded but I don't blame her, probably deals with a lot of nonsense. Assisstants were about how I would expect, pretty nice but not over the top, and did there job proficiently. But the dentist was exceptional. I am so thankful I don't have to go back to the place on Park Ave? Because that place was horrible all around!

The staff was very friendly, the receptionist lady was doing to much talking to her coworker rather than help me check in which made me mad. Dr. Howard was very friendly and talked me through everything even tho he couldn't pull my teeth lol he referred me to a great oral surgeon whom I go see in February, I felt comfortable the whole visit. I like that I was seen immediately especially being a walk in patient, I'll definitely go back again, I gotta go back to fix some cavities and get a deep clean which will be happening soon. Overall I'm very pleased🧡

Went there for a front tooth that needed assistance in the form of extraction. I was told that I could do a walk-in type of an appointment and I was concerned that this would be a lengthy period of time with no guarantee that I would even have the issue addressed. I couldn't have been more surprised and I was treated with prompt and proper care by all staff that I encountered. It was the rather enjoyable experience and I can't say that has been the case for all my previous dental appointments elsewhere. Definitely would go back and I would recommend to anyone.

Went here for cleaning and she didn’t even do the deep cleaning she just scraped off with a tool and that’s all. Also can someone tell me that why I have to wait for everything at least 30 minutes. My appointment was at 11 am but the doctor came to see me at 12 pm this is ridiculous.

Their hygienist does great work--no numbing and still no pain, the dentist tells great stories and reception is always friendly.

The dentist was very nice, good conversationalist, but they refused to give me a basic cleaning and my insurance wouldn't cover a deep cleaning so I went for no reason basically. Then they assured me if I called a number they provided me I could switch only my dental MO healthnet insurance. Well, they gave me a number for providers which I am not, so after calling 3 other numbers finally got ahold of the right people as just as I had said I was worried about, you can't switch unless its during open enrollment and switching dental insurance requires me to switch my whole health insurance which I can't do and told them I couldn't do because I have a chronic illness & see multiple specialists. So they're incredibly uninformed about the state insurance intricacies and wouldn't check what my insurance covered before I trekked out there which I find very disrespectful of my time. I would have never gone if I knew they would refuse to clean my teeth. I won't ever be coming back.

Earlier this month (July) I went in to get a filling. The dentist started on the procedure and I had to stop him and his inadequate assistant to ask for glasses to protect my eyes from the bright light. The dentist was more worried about telling his assistant about his personal business than numbing me correctly. My mouth was hurting for a week because I had to stop him when he start drilling because I was not numb yet. Now it is the end of the month and the filling is no longer there.
