Fantastic experience: The best dentistry I have ever been to!! I have been a patient here for the last two years and always feel welcomed by every staff member during each visit. I recently went in for a procedure and the staff helped me feel so comfortable, despite my anxiousness.The procedure was finished quickly and efficiently. I did not experience any pain and even receieved a follow-up text to check on me the next day. I can tell through my experience and observation of other patient interactions that the staff genuinely care about their patients. I found my forever dentist at Kennedy Dentistry!

Anthony Rosa 6 months ago

Negative experience: I called about a month ago asking to be seen for a hole in my gum. I booked an appointment over the phone and later was sent the intake forms to fill out. I filled out the forms online (days before the appointment) and specifically said on them I wanted to be seen for the hole in my gum and did not want X-rays. I showed up today and they asked me to fill out the intake forms, I said I already did and they retrieved them. Then they asked me to sign an X-ray consent form, I said I did not want X-rays and they said I could not do the appointment without X-rays because they "couldn't diagnose anything without x-rays." The workers seem nice, but this was a disappointing experience because they obviously did not read the intake forms ahead of time, evidenced by them not realizing I had already filled them out noting I would not do x-rays, which would have saved us both time and trouble on a workday. Also, every other practice I've been to in Knoxville has allowed appointments without x-rays. The claim they need an X-ray to look at my gums is quite dubious, and I would guess the policy stems from x-rays being covered by insurance and thus there being a profit incentive to require them.

Kennedy Dentistry
Kennedy Dentistry

We’re so sorry your visit with us was frustrating. We understand it felt inconvenient to repeat the intake forms and to be asked about x-rays after you had already shared your preferences — thank you for pointing that out, and we’ll work on improving our process.

Regarding X-rays, our doctors recommend them because they help us see beneath the surface and rule out issues that aren’t always visible, like infections or bone changes. It’s never about profit — it’s about making sure we can give you the safest and most accurate care.

We truly appreciate your feedback and hope you’ll consider giving us another chance in the future.

Jamie H 11 months ago

Negative experience: I had my appointment scheduled for 11am. The day before at 1pm I called and said I was starting to feel like I was getting the flu (you know these things at my age). She stated I would be charged $25 because I didn't call 24 hours before, I called 22 hours before. That is sickening. Definitely in today's economy. Then asked if I wanted to reschedule...the greatest part of this story is that morning (the next day) I get a text from them stating their hygienist is unable to see me today that they will need to reschedule. Of course I sent them a text back saying that will be $25. The part that is even better...that has been a year ago and they still are sending a bill for $25. I have always been someone who respects integrity. They just don't have it. The sad thing is my dentist who I had for 15 years took his own life during covid. It took everything in me to see another dentist. My first visit was just ok, they make you feel like you have to do it their way, like you sign a thing saying you will do x-rays every year. They just made me feel some kind of way. My dentist was never like that he respected me and my wish of only wanting to get x-rays every 3 years. This place is definitely not a family dentistry in my book. But if you like fake nice then this is the place for you.

Kennedy Dentistry
Kennedy Dentistry

We sincerely apologize for any frustration or disappointment you’ve experienced. We understand how frustrating it must have been to receive a charge under those circumstances, especially given the rescheduling on our end as well. Our goal is always to provide fair and transparent communication regarding our policies, and we truly regret if it didn’t feel that way in your case.

We also understand that adjusting to a new dental office after such a difficult loss is not easy. We never want any of our patients to feel unheard or pressured when it comes to their care. Your feedback is valuable, and we take it to heart as we continue to improve our patient experience.

If you’d be willing to give us a call and ask for Katie, she would be happy to go over the charges with you and make sure the cancellation charge is cleared. If someone is sick it is NEVER our policy to charge a patient, we are unsure how that occurred. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience, and we’d love the opportunity to make things right.

Fantastic experience: Had a very positive visit... This was another positive visit. Dr O'Hara explained everything planned for this visit. Had 2 teeth filled and got fitted for a parcial , .... She was very gentle with the shot of novacaine. Friendly crew! Thanks

Sheba Sole` 11 months ago

Fantastic experience: Happy! I was in need of a caring dentist that would listen to my concerns,wants and needs.. I thought my situation was complicated since I don't have insurance,didn't want the only teeth I have left pulled and refused to go toothless before getting a partial. Thankfully after much research/reviews,I found Emily O'Hara DDS! She heard my concerns,kept my financial ability in mind while discussing what must be done & options to consider. I had couple extractions,several fillings all in one appt without needing anything for anxiety!! She made a temporary so I wasn't hideous while I healed before getting my partial,even followed up with me next day to ask how I'm doing. I wanted better care than chain/commercial places I settled for in past,I absolutely got that. Thanks Dr O'Hara! CP

Fantastic experience: I've had a lot of experience with different dentist from Indiana, to Kansas, to Arizona, to Knoxville, not to mention the US Military. I wish I could say that they were all good experiences, unfortunately, they have ranged from awful to awesome. Dr. Thomas at Kennedy Dental is awesome! I feel so fortunate to have found her and the Kennedy practice. The entire staff is friendly and professional. Dr. Thomas is very thorough, explains everything so that you know what to expect, and is a perfectionist. I've been to Dr. Thomas 3 times and it's been an exceptional experience each time. She truly cares about your comfort level and getting the procedure correct. From the time you walk in, until you walk out, you feel that you are receiving the best care possible. I highly recommend Dr. Thomas and Kennedy Dental.

Fantastic experience: I knew I would need a lot of work done when I went for my first appointment in December and I was right. I've seen three of the dentists now and they are all great - they all keep asking if you are ok. From the time you check in until you are walked out EVERYONE is very friendly and nice. I highly recommend Kennedy Dentistry.

Fantastic experience: I love this place! They always take care of me and communicate clearly what’s going on with my teeth. I love Amanda who cleans me teeth! I highly recommend this place for anyone!

Fantastic experience: I drive an hour from Lenoir City to come to Dr. Kennedy. He and his staff are incredible people that you can trust. I have been coming for years! I have had so many bad experience with different dentists that claim I had issues I didn’t to make money. Dr Kennedy has the best equipment to scan teeth and do his job as best as possible. My dental hygienist Lindsey is awesome and today I met a dental assistant Olena that was very patient and careful to do the best job ever Just got married this month and can’t wait for my wife to start coming here. If you need a new dentist you just can’t find a better one than Dr Kennedy and his staff

Fantastic experience: Had another great experience at Kennedy Dentistry. Amanda was very professional and did an amazing job with my cleaning. Nothing like the feeling after a good cleaning. I highly recommend Kennedy Dentistry. I have been going there for many years and everyone is always friendly and welcoming.
