Fantastic experience: EADG is absolutely top notch! I had a very unpleasant experience with a dental group in Huntsville and so now I would rather drive four hours to see Dr. Riley or Dr. Thompson at EADG knowing that the service I will get there is caring, hygienic, professional and friendly. Christie, the hygienist I see is absolutely fabulous, with a kind and gentle touch, and the whole team really does go above and beyond!!

Hi Denoris,
Thank you for your feedback. We strive to provide a great experience for all who visit us. However, we believe there may have been a mix-up — our office is closed for lunch from 1:00 to 2:00 PM, and we do not have a record of you as a current patient. It’s possible you may be referring to a different dental office. If you believe this is in error, please feel free to contact us directly so we can look into it further.
Wishing you the best,
East Alabama Dental Group

Fantastic experience: Great staff! Very knowledgeable and always do a great job!!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Riley and staff were very professional and made my experience great. I was missing multiple teeth and had gone to 2 other dentists several years ago. One wanted to sell me very expensive implants. The other wanted to pull all my remainig teeth, most of them, and give me a full set of implants. I couldn't afford either. I put it off untill this spring. Dr. Riley seemed surprised and suggested saving my teeth. He did some restorative things and a bridge. The result is just amazing. And most of this qualified for insurance. Instead of shelling out $15,000 +, my share was very reasonable. I highly recommend these folks. I would absolutely do it again and had I known I would have done it several years ago.
Fantastic experience: Friendly staff and always excellent care! Love my Dental Hygienist Meisha!
Fantastic experience: Great staff! Great support.Seamless service. Kind, mild , clean, efficient service and care! Easy to work with professionals that make it easier to care for my dental needs now with an eye on future needs that help me be prepared to action when needed! Thanks to the whole team!
Thanks Lake, I will definitely share with the team!

It was our pleasure to be there for your dental needs. We're lucky to have customers like you at East Alabama Dental Group!
Negative experience: Did my new patient paperwork ahead of time and my appointment was scheduled in August, called this morning about a crisis I had Friday night, I woke up out my sleep and went to use the bathroom and fell over my face with blood and flesh coming out my mouth, I called the office and they didn’t care to see me and didn’t show sympathy or really care … not the type of dentist office I want, will be calling to cancel my appt. Receptionist didn’t even try to look at the schedule, just automatically said we are out of appointments
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. First and foremost, we are truly sorry to hear about the medical emergency you experienced — that sounds incredibly painful and frightening.
We sincerely apologize if our response did not meet the urgency of your situation. While we strive to accommodate new patients as efficiently as we can, especially during emergencies, it's clear we fell short in providing the compassion and care you deserved.
If you're open to it, we would appreciate the chance to speak with you directly. Meanwhile, we will meet as a team and discuss how we can improve.

Positive experience: I dropped by to get my favorite toothpaste. Since it was out of stock, I was told it could be mailed to me at no charge as I have a credit. That’s been about 3 wks. Just checking on its ETA. Thankyou. Phyllis Fenn — Montgomery
Hi Mrs. Phyllis,
Your toothpaste was mailed. Maybe the mail is running slow due to the snow? We just went to UPS and shipped another overnight. Hoping you receive tomorrow :)
Fantastic experience: The entire dental team is kind, compassionate and professional. I love that they encourage dental wellness instead of shaming patients. From the front desk welcome to the front desk goodbye it's a really smooth and painless experience. If you're looking for compassionate care - schedule here.
Fantastic experience: Misha is the best dental hygienist!! Everyone is always pleasant. I never have to wait
Fantastic experience: Dawn and Regina were very nice and did their jobs with a high level of professionalism. Dr Riley is always pleasant and upbeat, no matter what time of the day it is. This office has the best staff by far!
Thanks for your kind remarks! We strive to provide our guests with exceptional service and we appreciate your acknowledgement :)
Negative experience: Do not go to this dentist!! Everyone seems fairly nice here, but they shouldn’t be in business. They just want your money!! I am 22 years old with very healthy teeth, yet they told me I had 12 cavities?!?! I went to a different dentist who re-checked everything and actually showed me the photos and x-rays where I only have 2 cavities. On top of that, my teeth cleaning here was very painful! The lady made my mouth bleed so much to the point where I had to rinse my mouth about 10 times just to get it all out. Personally, I have never had that much bleeding before at a teeth cleaning. Anyways, I really do not recommend this place!!!
Dear Mary Beth,
Providing high quality dental care and patient satisfaction is paramount to us!
We strive to ensure that our guests leave completely satisfied, so we are sorry that we did not meet all of your expectations and regret our service was not to your satisfaction.
Your feedback is much appreciated. We will share your message appropriately, and someone from our leadership team will reach out to you shortly.
Fantastic experience: The entire staff is simply awesome! We had to reschedule a number of times due to the weather and they worked so hard to see me and my two children together. Although my son has to come back for follow up care, he was very appreciative of the hygienist taking time to educate him on his teeth and the impact of wearing braces. Because they took the time to explain to him “the why” of the importance of brushing before bed and flossing, he is committed to doing better with caring for his teeth.
Lillian, We appreciate you sharing your positive feedback and love knowing you will return soon.
Fantastic experience: The accommodation and quickness with which they addressed my son's issue was actually quite spectacular. I did not expect to be able to get to the root of the cause so quick and get referred to such a great facility as we did. Doctors were awesome, got the problem figured out quickly and sent us on our way. Great experience from both sides of the coin. 5 out of 5 recommend.
Thank you RocDraft for the kind words. Glad your experience was spectacular :)
Fantastic experience: Great experience! Christie is awesome and so enjoyable to chat with as she cleans. Everyone is very friendly and hometown personal vibe is a rare find. Dr Thompson is thorough and efficient.
Thank you for such kind words! We agree, Dr Thompson and Christie are great! Your review truly encompasses the experience we strive to provide for our patients. We truly appreciate it.
Fantastic experience: Great experience! Dr. Thompson has a great group. Lana is awesome! I’ve been a patient for years. Never dread my next appointment. Highly recommend!
Wonderful David!! Thank you so much for letting us know. We love to hear going to the dentist is a pleasure
