Rome Smiles: Reviews
Fantastic experience: It was just my first visit but everyone was super nice, listened well and made me feel as comfortable as possible. I really appreciated that! We will see how the cleaning goes…
Thank you, Sharon! I'm happy to hear that you felt cared for and welcomed during your visit with us. See you again soon!
Fantastic experience: Everyone knows that going to the dentist is not something we enjoy doing. However, my first visit to Rome Smiles was extremely pleasant (how often can you say that about going to the dentist?), informative and Dr. Shepherd and Becca give you their undivided attention and hear what you have to say. They know what they are doing and their knowledge is endless. Upon arrival, I was greeted by a very friendly receptionist who also showed me around their offices and all of the services they have to offer. I'm so glad to have found them-definitely five star service and care.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review! We know the dentist isn’t everyone’s favorite place, so it means a lot to hear that your first visit with us was pleasant and informative. Dr. Shepherd, Becka, and our front office team truly appreciate your kind words. We’re so glad you found us and we look forward to providing you with five-star care every visit!

Hi Ashanwa, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. Each patient’s experience is of upmost importance to our team. I’m glad to hear that she had a good experience with our front desk team, but I am concerned to hear that her experience with the doctor fell short.

Fantastic experience: I had a wonderful experience at Rome Smiles. After years of being afraid to go back to the dentist due to prior negative experiences with other places, I knew it was time to go back, and Rome Smiles was recommended to me. Everyone who works here was so welcoming and kind to me at literally every moment and took away every bit of dental anxiety I had! From now on I will be looking forward to coming in and bettering my dental health. Thank you so much to Dr Patel and the team at Rome Smiles!!!!

Fantastic experience: I called for an emergency visit. I needed a honest second opinion and they gave me just that. They were able to save one of my molars. Brandy was so nice and explained everything so well I didn’t even have any additional questions to ask due to her touching on everything. Both Dr. Shepherd and Dr. Patel were awesome!! I never been to a dentist office where I can tell they actually cared and wanted to make sure I was satisfied with my service. They definitely have a new patient :)
Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We’re thrilled that Brandy, Dr. Shepherd, and Dr. Patel could make you feel cared for and help save your molar. It means a lot to know you felt truly valued here. Welcome to our dental family!

Fantastic experience: On my new patient first visit, I was greeted warmly and given a personal tour of the dental clinic. I was shown diagnostic equipment which is high tech, and introduced to all staff, which was welcoming. After a thorough inventory of my history and my teeth, the Dental Assistant did an excellent deep cleaning of my teeth. The Dentist, Dr. "Scott," was extremely professional and caring. He made recommendations based on my X-rays. From start to finish, my first experience at Rome Smiles was outstanding - beyond my expectations!

Fantastic experience: Had a great experience! Went in they gave me a tour of the office and made sure I was well aware of anything that was going to happen, even made small talk with me about my life. And set me up for my future appointments and what is going to happen at them. And I was very pleased with my teeth just after my first cleaning! No need to leave the office or go see other doctors as they can go most things in office!

Fantastic experience: In addition to cleanings, they have done fillings and crowns for me. I have always been tense about these, but they do a fantastic job of making me comfortable which is part of making it painless. They continuously check to ensure that the numbing is thorough.

She took the time to walk me through the entire tooth extraction procedure and communicated in a way that really put me at ease and calmed my nerves. A big thank you as well to the ladies at the front desk and to the assistant who helped during my visit—you all made me feel welcomed and cared for from start to finish.

Thank you, Kate! We know finding a dentist in a new town can be overwhelming, but we are so happy to hear that your daughter's visit went well! Thank you for your trust!
Fantastic experience: This is the first dentist visit I have been to that I didn’t get overwhelmed. Everyone was nice, had beautiful smiles (which told me I was in the right place), very clean, patient, explained everything, took their time, knowledgeable, and I left with a smile. Usually, I turn to a big baby at the dentist office. No, I am not ashamed to say so.☺️ In the past, I had a bad experience, but Rome Smiles is the absolute best!!

Fantastic experience: Best dental experience I’ve ever had. From the moment I walked in till I left I felt comfortable and heard.

We’re so happy to hear you had a great experience! Clara and the team loved helping you feel at ease and informed. Thanks for choosing Rome Smiles!
Fantastic experience: I don’t usually give 5-star reviews, but Rome Smiles truly deserves it. I went in nervous and unsure, but Clara immediately put me at ease—so kind, gentle, and reassuring the entire time. The whole team made me feel heard, respected, and completely cared for. I left with peace of mind and a clear plan for my dental health—and even received a handwritten note from Clara afterward! If you’ve been avoiding the dentist out of fear or embarrassment, Rome Smiles is exactly where you need to go. No judgment—just amazing, compassionate care.
Fantastic experience: So far I’ve been twice and absolutely amazed at how much more professional they are compared to my previous dentist. They are very informative and respectful of everything.

Fantastic experience: Once again, I cannot express how much I enjoy going to Rome Smiles. When I found out I had 2 cavities, I was a little disappointed that it wasn’t more. My hour in the chair was like a trip to the beach. I hope everyone can experience the pleasure of Rome Smiles as much as I do. And it’s a lot closer than the beach
I don't think there is a better compliment than comparing our dental office to a trip to the beach! Thank you for sharing your 5-star experience, Kevin! Of course we hope you don't have any more cavities any time soon, we appreciate your commitment to our team!

Fantastic experience: This was my first time here and the service was wonderful. Felt like a spa experience yet I was a that dentist. I got an appointment within a week.

So glad I found Rome smiles and would recommend for anyone especially if the dentist isn’t your favorite place to go to.

Everyone explained every part of the process thoroughly and nicely to me. Shout-out to Becka, you took amazing care of me and made me feel at home. A visit I would normally dread was made so much easier thanks to her and the whole staff. Dr. Shepherd was precise and knowledgeable and made sure I understood what kind of treatment I needed. If you're nervous about going to the dentist or just feel like you need to see someone you can trust I highly recommend going here. Thanks for everything!

Fantastic experience: So glad I found this place. Very, very friendly staff. I needed a somewhat emergency tooth extraction. Just by luck they had an opening the following morning. But luck aside, their pricing is great and reasonable with or without insurance. Dr Scott was able to take care of it right away. Him and the 2 assistance are very good, professional, and friendly. I 100% recommend this place and I will be following up with them for my whole family’s future teeth needs.

(Yes, seriously) I look forward to Amy cleaning my teeth & seeing Dr. Hudson or Dr. Scharnhorst. Everyone in the office is so friendly and helpful.

She’s the best!

Negative experience: Worst experience I’ve ever had basically charged me $150 to tell me what I already knew was wrong gave a lot of invalid information and nobody really cared that I was in pain she made the hurt area hurt more and then sent me on my way suggesting I take over the counter meds for pain

Fantastic experience: My experience was GREAT!! Dr. Sheppard and his assistant made sure I was ok during my procedure. I was pain free and comfortable every second I was in his chair. I saw Dr. Scott a few years back. The experience is GREAT!!! I I'm terrible of going to the dentist but this team is AWESOME. They definitely made sure I was relaxed. 5 STARS ALL ACROSS THE BOARD FROM ME

Negative experience: New review, same stars: I decided to take the chance and come here because they were one of the few providers in the area that take Humana. I called over the phone to ensure that they took Humana and they told me yes. I waited 3 or 4 weeks from my appointment, after already having to wait 4 weeks for my insurance to kick in (not their fault) for a time sensitive gum infection. I arrive and give them my insurance card they tell me they're going to check my benefits. Before they do, they tried taking me back (presumably to get me on the hook for $$). I opted to wait until hearing about my coverage. THEN she tells me, that they don't actually contract with Humana. That they just can file out of network with Humana leaving me with a few hundred dollar bill for a NEW PATIENT EXAM. Those are typically free anywhere else you go. I don't appreciate being misled and then almost completely stuck with a huge bill for trying to rush me back without checking insurance. I wish 0 stars was an option. Very shady practice. Old review: The receptionist is very snotty over the phone. Hung up without saying bye because I told her I needed to compare prices a little bit (due to being with a job due to injury). Don't recommend.
Hi Danielle, thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I was very concerned after reading your feedback and looked into your situation. It appears that the first team member you spoke with explained that we are able to file to Humana as a courtesy if you have a PPO plan and requested your insurance information. The second team member reached out to you twice so that we could do a complimentary benefits check to ensure you were prepared for your vist but we did not receive any insurance information from you. It is extremely important to us that patients are prepared and informed of their investment for their visits. I do apologize if there was any misunderstsanding on our part. If we can be of further assistance, please give our office manager a call at 706-232-1923. Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Amy was great. She was very professional but friendly. I’ve been going to her for years. Always great!
Thank you, Robin!

Fantastic experience: My first visit was for a cleaning, and it was a wonderful experience.

If you have to go to the dentist, this is definitely the one you want to choose!
Thank you for sharing your 5-star experience, Dayleane!
Fantastic experience: This staff is awesome! I am definitely going back. They explained everything thoroughly and the best part was getting a tour of the whole clinic before I met the rest of the staff. That by far made customer service and A+ with me. The charges were explained thoroughly and everyone was excellent. I cannot wait to get everything started.
Thank you, Miranda! Our team strives to make each visit a 5-star experience so we are thrilled to hear that your visit with us went so well. See you again soon!
Positive experience: Very high price for the dental team not to address the tooth pain I do have! Never addressed it. It’s about computers at this office .Tech who did my cleaning was all about computer and not about my time or the pain she caused. Front desk girl was super nice. Clean office!
Fantastic experience: Everyone was so nice and respectful!! Such a great experience for it to be my first time at this place. I’d recommend it.

Fantastic experience: Woke up one morning last week before an important trip with extreme pain in a tooth. I called Rome Smiles and they fit me in as an emergency. Everyone was friendly and kind from the office staff down to Dr. Shepherd. He found out what the problem was and adjusted a crown. Brilliant!! I highly recommend Rome Smiles and will be returning.

Thank you for sharing your 5-Star experience, David!
Fantastic experience: I love that I’m able to get in for a crown and get it done with one visit!! And even better- I went in at 7 am and was out before 9 am so the worst part of my day was over and I could go enjoy the rest of it! (I HATE having dental work done, but Rome Smiles makes it bearable- by far the best dental experience I’ve had!)
Thank you so much, Theresa! We strive to accomodate busy schedules as much as possible and make your visits with us as comfortable as possible! Thanks for trusting our team!
Fantastic experience: I was so impressed on my first visit to this office. Brandy was awesome with my X-rays and cleaning and Dr. Scott was professional and they both treated me with kindness and respect. I’m so happy to find my new dental office. On my consecutive visits, Dr. Olivia Merandi did more work . She also has been very professional and made me feel comfortable in the dental chair . I’ve been very impressed with her also. Highly recommend this office!
