GoodSmiles Dental Care: Reviews
Negative experience: Dr. Gigante is horrible. My mouth is in worse pain than ever. I will never go back there. I mean I've been with Dr. Scott and it has never hurt my mouth like this. I mean no sleep. This is the worst.
Fantastic experience: One Of The Best Dental Offices In Tallahassee. Dr. Knapp & Ms.Kim & Ty Took Great Care Of Me. They Kept Me Entertained & Informed Throughout My Appointment & Went Above & Beyond To Ensure My Wisdom Tooth Extraction Went Smooth. Thank You All.
Hi, Shaliah. We appreciate the kind words and are glad we could provide you with a positive experience!
Negative experience: Warning to all PARENTS! My review echoes other 1 star reviews. They tried to upcharge me a week ago and the hygienist was visibly annoyed at my refusal. But today the same hygienist had my minor daughter sign for a $140 upcharge even after she told him she was underage. They proceeded to numb her mouth without my approval until she was able to call me and I put a stop to it! DO NOT TRUST THESE PEOPLE. Dr. Roane was nice to me the other day, but his staff will be their downfall, especially this hygienist. They must get bonuses for their upselling - even to minors!!!
Fantastic experience: Ollie and Dr Pike are awesome! Very thorough and friendly!
Hi, Becky. Thanks for taking the time to share your positive experience. We truly appreciate it!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Shane did a great job on my filling. Carmen and Joselyn were absolutely fantastic doing a very complicated cleaning (I am a heavy smoker). Best cleaning I had in many years. X rays, exam, cleaning, and a filling was $433 total cash as I have no insurance. That is reasonable for the quality work. Bannerman Village charged me more than that for 1 filling so don’t go there! This office however was very transparent. On time as well both times. Easy to schedule. They were a once in probably fifty a positive experience in an other terrible industry.
Hi, Alberto. We are thrilled to learn that you had a positive experience with us!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Knapp is always so kind, gentle and patient. He is an awesome dentist. I had the pleasure of meeting his assistant "Ty" on 8/7 and she is also awesome. They took great care of me as always.
Hi, Tracy. Thank you so much for leaving us a stellar review!
Fantastic experience: I love my dentist office! They are always very professional and very timely. My hygienist Michelle is one of the reasons that I love coming to the office because of how informative and attentive she is when it comes to the health and upkeep of my teeth. My 6 month check-ups are always convenient and on time because Michelle works effectively to ensure that I make it back to the office during my lunch hour so I do not have to use a lot of my leave time. I recommend this office as well as my hygienist if you are looking for a Dentist Office that cares about your hygienic needs.
Hi, Shayla. Your feedback is highly appreciated. Thank you for the review!
Fantastic experience: Super nice staff and great care! Recommend
Hi, Elizabeth. We appreciate the kind words and are glad we could provide you with a positive experience!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Knapp is not only down to earth and easy to talk to, but also genuinely patient-focused. He takes the time to explain each step, does exceptional work, all while playing classic rock as he works. Always a great experience.
Hi, Jennie. Thanks for taking the time to share your positive experience. We truly appreciate it!
Fantastic experience: Like a lot of other people, I have a tendency to put off going to the dentist until I have to. Well, the inevitable happened. Part of my tooth broke off and I had some pain. My staff had spoken very highly of Good Smiles so I thought I’d give them a try. So glad I did! I found everyone there to be very attentive and caring. Terry and Pam (dental hygienists) couldn’t have been nicer and really made the experience a whole lot easier than I experienced in the past. I know that I’m going to need some work done so I’m scheduled to see Dr Good next week. I’ve heard only good things about her so I’m sure I’ll be in “good” hands.
Hi, Cindi. We are thrilled to learn that you had a positive experience with us!
Fantastic experience: From a BIG BABY with White coat syndrome I wanna scream from the mountain tops about how AMAZING the staff is at Good smiles!! From the time I hit the door Eileen was wiping tears and reassuring me everything would be fine. I also met with Dr Napp and Dr. Good who were both extremely friendly and informative.Dr.Good literally wiped my tears for me while providing me with options and making me feel safe. The patient care and education was TOP TIER!!!! But let me tell yall about Michelle…baby Michelle was HEAVEN SENT! I was literally in tears and she was so helpful GENTLE EFFICIENT THOROUGH and KIND. At checkout I was greeted by Mariah who was also very sweet and helpful getting me booked for my future appts. If you are not booking with Good smiles where you at?? Because this where you need to be!!!! God bless yall for taking care of me today. I actually look forward to working with everyone again in the future.
Hi, Erika. Thank you so much for leaving us a stellar review!
Fantastic experience: I had the great experience of being help by Pam and Terry. They were very helpful and caring to my needs I have anxieties and i get depressed sometimes but they help me to relax and I felt very good in their care. Thanks, for caring
Fantastic experience: Everyone was so nice and informative I was able to get a cleaning the same day BeBe was awesome and answered all of my questions.Dr Roane came up with the best treatment plan for me
Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Good Smiles to anyone who is looking for a great dentist office where both the dentists & staff are wonderful!! Brady, Katy, Michelle, Ollie, Nini & Tyasia are all fabulous along with all the dentists!! Dr. Roane, Dr. Pike, Dr. G & Dr. Ahmad are all EXCELLENT dentists!! I have been going to Good Smiles for MANY years!! Words can't express how happy I am there!! Plus, they accept most insurance providers!! Give them a call to schedule your appointment!! You will not regret it!! Also, the front desk staff are all very friendly & efficient. Sincerely, Selina Eldridge
Negative experience: Man this is the worse Dentist place around Tallahassee they are Racist and money hungry I just walk out because this is my second time coming here and didn’t get anything Accomplish the only thing I want was my tooth pulled and that was about $97 bucks but everytime they always coming with these Outrageous numbers ($550) talking about you need this and that done when the only thing I wanted was a simple tooth pulled I understand I need my mouth fix but right now I don’t have 500 dollars, I just wanted my tooth pulled!! Man it seems like you can’t trust nobody everybody is out to get money the doctors the Dentist etc, this country is Corrupt real bad!!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Good and Dr. Pike are spectacular!!! My teeth had become a “hot - mess” due to years of neglect, dating back to childhood. I had to have allot of work. Root canals, fillings, and implants. They handled all procedures with the highest level of skill and professionalism. Dr. Pike even gives you his personal cell number to call if there is an issue or questions. All calls and texts I sent were returned promptly. That’s what I call a “personal touch” to service. I had been jumping from dentist to dentist for years. I’m glad I was able to find this establishment. Now I won’t go anywhere else.
Negative experience: Sorry, but unlike the apparently great reviews, I found this dental office to be abysmal. Dr. Good is a competent dentist, and I have no complaints whatsoever, except for the manner in which you are asked to sign payment forms -- while lying back in the dentist chair. Sign here by the X's - which authorizes out of pocket additional expenses, like explaining how to floss (a charge?), semi-injections to the gums to deaden the pain, etc. But the hygienists are among the worst I've ever experienced in my 70 plus years. The main one always left me bleeding (hence the pain killer) and I do NOT have bad teeth nor gums, and two other ones were simply incompetent; one had to take the same x-ray 5 times, then after scaling the calculus, didn't bother polishing my teeth until I asked them to do so. The last time was a follow up visit and the person said that I was here for a cleaning, which was simply not true. Then there was dealing with all the charges that I signed for in the dentists chair that insurance didn't cover. Took me a while, but I finally chimed to the left of honest methods. Happy to report I visited another Tallahassee dentist today, and it was among the BEST dental visits (cleaning included) I've had in my long life -- and guess what, my insurance paid for it all. Lastly, GoodSmiles did not send my x-rays to the new dentist who had requested them. Professional courtesy at its worst, no? Don't waste your time, money nor insurance. Really bad experience.
Negative experience: I had a horrible experience with this dentist office. I went in for a routine cleaning and the hygienist pulled the wire from my permanent retainer out while trying to floss my teeth! I was told to get it fixed elsewhere and when I called back to be reimbursed I’ve been given the run around and no return call. Guess I’ll report this to Board of Dentistry or whoever I need to. So disappointed in the treatment I received they took zero accountability and wouldn’t return my calls.
Fantastic experience: They got me in so quickly for emergency work! Got all my X-rays and exam taken care of the day I called, and had the majority of my dental work done in less than a week. We did a very large procedure, they made it as quick, friendly, and as painless as possible. Will not go anywhere else in Tallahassee for my future work
Fantastic experience: It was a positive experience with Assistant Bebe and Dr. Roane. Both were very helpful and knowledgeable about their practice.
Fantastic experience: I always have a great experience here. Due to several things (like having a retained baby tooth) I needed pretty extensive treatment, but Dr. Roane, Dr. Pike, and staff were great and came up with a treatment plan. Jocelyn was able to squeeze me in for a cleaning this morning and I'm really appreciative! Excited to get my aligner soon.
Fantastic experience: My personal experience with this organization is that I was treated with dignity and respect by Dr. Roane, Terry and Jolene. I felt like they really cared about me and the service that they provided me.
Fantastic experience: This is only place I feel comfortable going for my oral care. The first time I went, I encountered BeBe, Dr Roane and the girl with the locs at the front desk. Hands down they are the best. When u go to an office for the second time you don’t expect people to remember you they all remembered me and it felt like home. I feel bad for not remembering the girl at the front but she was so patient with me getting my insurance information. Bebe is always a sweetheart! We picked up our conversation where it left off and Dr Roane is very informative and gentle with my mouth! I was in so much pain!! Thank you all for being so AMAZING!!
Fantastic experience: I love the office staff,Dr Roean and Amied they were so kind and caring to my desires and needs.Thank you. THE APPOINTMENT SETTER MADE SURE I was kept update with any changes or reminders.They text ,call and emailed me.
Fantastic experience: Sylvia, the Dental Assistant, is very personable and took good care of me. Dr. Ahmed, although the evaluation hurt, I trusted the information she has given me to keep my oral hygiene up. I thank you ladies both for your service! Keep up the great work! (Review from 3 years ago) Update 2/18/2025: I am still having a positive experience. The staff is welcoming and are patient with explaining even when you don't get it the first time. Thanks team!
Fantastic experience: Jocelyne does an awesome job every time I visit. I really appreciate her telling me how to care for my teeth. They have really improved and I can see and feel a difference. Thank you so much Jocelyne!
Negative experience: made me hate the dentist. they were very friendly and got me in quick when i was having severe pain in a molar/wisdom tooth. proceeded to pull my WISDOM teeth out with ONLY lidocaine in the gums. no gas, no analgesic, no anesthesia. it was the worst feeling ive ever experienced. this was in 2020/2021. oh i also went back for gingivitis treatment and the technician proceeded to make fun of my missing teeth, that ive had since i was a CHILD, in front of a student hygenist.
Fantastic experience: Super friendly office. Bebe, Jocelyn, and Joanne were gentle and extremely friendly. I felt secure they had my best interest in mind when going over diagnostics and treatment plan. Looking forward to future visits.
Negative experience: We had a terrible experience at the front desk. My daughter did not receive the confirmation texts and they gave away her appointment. She did receive the text about paperwork and completed it. I drove from out of town to go to the appointment just to be treated condescendingly by the woman at the front desk. I would recommend going to any other dentist in Tallahassee.
We would like to apologize to you regarding your experience with our office today. It is unlike our office to be unaccommodating to patients and is not our office policy. Thank you for bringing this to our attention so that we may better ourselves. We will be having an office meeting tonight to ensure that this will not happen again.
Negative experience: This office should be investigated by the American Dental Association. I spent over 3 and a half hours here. They charged me $50 for a cancer screening that I denied multiple times and was not covered by my insurance. They told me my teeth had serve gingivitis and would fall out if I did not pay for a treatment that would cost $35 per tooth. Overall, I paid $50 dollars, had to fight for them to remove a built in retainer (they tried to charge me $200 for this service that took less than 5 minutes). To top if off they billed my insurance company nearly $900 worth of services that I denied. I believe they committed fraud. Do not go here, they take advantage of young people and try to get a signature for unnecessary services that are not covered by insurance. Scammers.
This review and the claims it contains are inaccurate falsehoods that are not consistent with the standards of practice upheld at GoodSmiles.
Fantastic experience: Ahmad was great! He had a good sense of humor and made this terrified new customer feel relaxed and cared for. Thank you
Fantastic experience: The doc who removed my teeth where amazing he made it quick and painless and also the assistant dentist (Candice)who assisted with my extractions was very nice as welll I give them a big shout out!!thank for all you do !the office was very nice clean and professional.satisfied 100%.definitely recommended.
Fantastic experience: So thankful for the team at GoodSmiles and the care that we receive there. Terri Bailey has been my hygienist for years, and the care and professionalism that she has provided for myself and my family members has meant so much to us.
Fantastic experience: Robin was so great and helpful. Honestly every person I met there was friendly and explain everything in great detail. I was recommended to go here by a friend and I won't ever go anywhere else.
Fantastic experience: Let me just the whole team there is absolutely great. I was contacted asap with my concern and helped in all the steps of getting set up. I never had a dentist of my own to go see. I do now. I want to thank everyone there for making me feel super comfortable and get over my fear of going to the dentist. Thank yall so much for your help.
Fantastic experience: Robin was very helpful with taking my X-ray's, explaining all the procedures I need and also made me comfortable which is always a plus! 5 stars
Fantastic experience: Great people! Very kind, fast, and good at what they do. Only great things to say about this place! Just be sure to avoid the hygienist Jocelyn...thank me later.
Fantastic experience: Friendly and professional staff! Beautiful, clean, modern office atmosphere. Loved having music playing in the room with me. Asst. Bebe was very kind, explained the plan to me on paper and answered all additional questions I had with ease. She was amazing!! Dr. Roane took a look at my situation asked relevant questions in an easy going and kind approach. He explained my options to me and answered all my questions about each of them. He asked Asst. Bebe to get the models to show me different types of options available in the world of dentistry. Will be returning to have the work done!
Fantastic experience: The staff is excellent. One of the best dental practices I have ever had the pleasure of visiting. The staff conducts themselves in a friendly professional manor and do their best to alleviate any fears and explain all procedures in detail. Kudos to GoodSmiles!!!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Roane and his assistant Ms. Bebe were wonderful to work with! I recently chipped my tooth and luckily they were able to get me in pretty quick to fix it. I appreciate you guys! Thank you!
Negative experience: The Dental Office has really gone down over the last few years. I call for an EMERGENCY appointment and the best they can do is 5 days later. I called previously to get an appointment because of an abcess and they couldn't see me for 2 weeks. This is not acceptable!!!! Infection cannot wait like this. Especially for someone who has had a joint replacement!
Fantastic experience: Good Smiles is helping us get out bright smiles back. My daughter and I haven't been to a Dentist in 3 years. But Tori and Tyasia welcomed us with warm smiles and made us feel comfortable. Jocelyne and Brady helped clean our teeth to help get our old smiles back. Then Mallory and Erica ended our appointment with the last smile's of the day as we cashed us out and got set up for our next visit.
Fantastic experience: Bebe and Dr. Roane was an amazing at my visit today. They made me feel so comfortable and was very straightforward about the treatment that I’m going to get. I was a bit nervous coming in thinking that I would be judged but they made me feel right at home! I will continue to tell my family and friends about this office.
Fantastic experience: I had a small filling done with Dr. Rhoane and his medical assistant (unsure his name). I was pretty nervous for it but it took only 5 min and they are both very nice. I highly recommend Dr. Rhoane
Negative experience: They are super nice. But my appointment was at 1pm, it's currently past 230, and we haven't even started numbing, or pulling out my tooth. No one has told me when we are starting. People with anxiety shouldn't be sitting over 1.5 hours to get a tooth pulled for the orthodontist. Im sorry, but this is insane, the military wasn't even this bad, and that's saying something During my check out...the old lady with the cast on her arm, made a point to say they saw my review and it's not like this all the time, they filled me in a spot last minute, and are trying to get as many people in before the storm. I was having a tooth pulled per my orthodontist, it was in no way a rush to get done. I didn't create mother nature, nor can I change the weather for the end of the week. But I can change this chick's attitude when I clearly submitted dental insurance and they bluntly ignored it. At least the nurse I had ans the young man who pulled my tooth out were absolutely amazing. For them 2 alone it's a 5 star, for the wait and the women at the front desk...ouch 1 star.
Fantastic experience: I was very pleased with Dr. Rhoane and his assistant, Ahmed ? who placed 4 crowns in the front of my mouth at the same time. It was almost pain free and I was able to have them made that day instead of having temporaries and then having to come back. They look and fit great.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Pike and the staff were highly professional during my visit at Good Smiles. Robin was. and the hygienist was very informative during the consultation I had with them. I am looking for to my treatment plan with Good Smiles.
Fantastic experience: This is my first visit and it went really well. The place is nice and staff is friendly. Katy cleaned my teeth and she is amazing. I did not feel much uncomfortable.
Fantastic experience: With some bad dental experiences earlier in life and crippling dentophobia, I avoided going to the dentist far longer than I should have. Had I known going to GoodSmiles would be so painless and comforting, I would have gone far sooner. If you have dental anxiety, THESE ARE YOUR PEOPLE. At my initial exam they took x-rays and set me up with a scheduled treatment plan, informing me what would be done, how much insurance would cover, and what my out-of-pocket would be for each step. Bebe, Katie, and Dr. Roane were so friendly that I was actually looking forward to going back. I just got out of my first scheduled appointment; Pam saw my nervousness and literally tucked me in with a blanket before numbing me up, and Katie was so patient and kind doing the debridement. Thanks to the crew at GoodSmiles, my dental anxiety is manageable and I don't fear the treatments to come.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been coming to GoodSmiles for several years now. My hygienist Michelle is great and one of the best. Her assistant Nadia is kind and also does a great job.
Fantastic experience: Michelle Rogers is a very patient and caring person. She always puts her patients first and makes sure they are happy and satisfied. Nadia is very patient and caring makes me feel very comfortable while taking care of my dental needs.
Fantastic experience: Michelle is wonderful, and has been doing my cleanings for more than a decade! Her assistant, Nadia is also great! Michelle has always been very welcoming, kind, and comforting!
Fantastic experience: I must command this office for exceeding all my expectations!! Good Smiles ( Dr. P. Good) Dental office has the best and greatest service, they have a wonderful staff, very knowledgeable & friendly. A very nice & clean office. Highly recommended. This is an amazing tean!! Thank you again Dr. Good, Eileen, Amanda, Michelle and Betty for your outstanding customer service!! Michelle- cleans my teeth she is amazing I have no pain at all when getting this done! I must say this is a 5 star Dental Office -Tiffany W.
Fantastic experience: Great team Michelle and Nadia. Friendly, helpful and Michelle is excellent at her job. She makes you feel welcome and comfortable
Fantastic experience: I met Nadia today. She's such a pleasant, professional and patient young lady. Michelle you always make sure I'm comfortable during each visit. I'm so grateful for the way you help keep my smile healthy and bright. Your patience, kindness, personality and expertise truly makes a difference.
Fantastic experience: Michelle took great care of me today. She took great care with my cleaning. Everyone in the office is pleasant and helpful.
Fantastic experience: I am overwhelmed with the service that Dr. Perez provided. This has been a wonderful experience and would recommend her to anyone who wants a beautiful smile just like she gave me. Bravo Dr Perez! Thank you very much for seeing me on such short notice to take care of my tooth pain and fixing my smile.
Fantastic experience: Michelle and Nadia are a powerhouse team, while being superlative individuals in their own right! At one point in my life, an upcoming dental cleaning inspired fear in me. With them, it is a pleasant (and painless) experience
Fantastic experience: I have had anxiety over the dentist for years and when I went in for extreme tooth pain and nerves through the roof Pam at good smiles was so calming and kind and reassuring! I was very thankful to have this experience!
Fantastic experience: Impressed that I was called back at my appointment time with no delay. My cleaning started promptly and I am very satisfied with the results. Michelle is always thorough and Nadia did the best job at placing the sticky fluoride on my teeth and not on my lips! A pleasant experience as always.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Good, my hygienist Michelle and their front desk staff are wonderful. I am grateful for their commitment to great service and willingness to help with any concerns I have. I enjoyed my visit and would highly recommend them with a smile
Fantastic experience: For some reason, I always dread going to the dentist. I mean stress dread it.But I just want to take the time to tell you that Dr. Goode’s office is the best and the staff is great. This was my first time working with Nadia but she was a pleasant surprise with excellent service. And Thank God for Michelle. She is the BEST! Michelle is very professional and personable. As usual her personality made my visit a very pleasant one. Plus, she ALWAYS takes good care of me. I wish I could give more than 5 stars Pamela
Fantastic experience: Pam was really nice and she brought me a blanket cause I told her I was cold. Great customer service. The nicest person you could ever meet. God broke the mold when they made her. She made me feel so comfortable and relaxed. Thank you Pam
Fantastic experience: I had crown done today by Dr Roane and assistant Bebe. They did a great job. The service was fast and they do the same day crown.
Fantastic experience: I had an amazing experience with Dr.pike and Mrs. Pam she is the best assistant and made me feel very welcomed she even gave me a blanket when I was cold she really is a caring person :)
Fantastic experience: Dr Knapp and Jerrica did a 10/10 job. Club 8 is the way to go! Also Dr Knapp did a great job with the numbing process. I don't like needles but he deserves a 100/10. And Jerrica did awesome. Time went by very fast because she was very engaging!
Negative experience: I do not recommend Goodsmiles Dental and will not be returning. I was sent here from my orthodontist because they wanted 3 of my teeth to be checked out before I got braces put on. I scheduled the appointment and when I went in they got started on my scans which was weird to me because my scans were sent over from my orthodontist. A bit after that Dr.Pike came in and started trying to show me some things on my scans but was drawling and talking so fast I could not understand, he then asked me if I understood and I said no. He tried explaining again but I still did not understand what he was talking about and just gave up trying. After this, they told me Instead of a basic cleaning for my teeth they would be doing a more complex cleaning that my insurance did not cover. When I told the lady I wanted to do a regular cleaning she said once they get started on treatment and something is recommended that I could not change that, she then asked me if I had the $150 to which I responded yes and she said okay. I felt very pressured into this cleaning that I did not want. I then received a $4500+ “treatment plan” and left without scheduling another appointment as I was upset that I came for something simple and it turned into much more. The prices were also insane (2 of the visits cost over $2000) I sent my orthodontist the treatment plan and was told only a couple things were required to be done before I got my braces and the rest could wait. They then sent goodsmiles a medical clearance form for them to sign when this was completed. I then called goodsmiles and asked them what all was ABSOLUTELY needed to get my braces put on. The lady told me all of the visits except for two (the cheapest visits were taken off, of course.) I then asked her again if all that work was absolutely needed and she told me they would not sign the form without the work being done. I am absolutely FURIOUS as I KNOW some of the fillings can wait and be done at a later time. I continue to go back and fourth with these people because they are telling me one thing and my orthodontist is telling me another. They also filed a $730 claim against my dental insurance for more scans that they took when they were already sent my scans. I will not be back, you all should be ashamed of yourselves. EDIT: I did call and speak with someone, she was not the owner. The lady did not address half my concerns and kept trying to shift blame elsewhere, I hungup after she “strongly encouraged” me to delete my review, which I won’t do. I ended up at smiles by beck and my dentist told me I did not even need more than half the work they said I needed to get done before braces, PROVING MY POINT that goodsmiles was milking a 19 year old for 5k. I will once again, never be back OR recommend this place. YALL SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES.
Hi Chelsey,
There seems to have been a miscommunication or misunderstanding while visiting our office.
We take pride in our patient care and apologize if you feel that your needs were not met. After reading your review, it seems there needs to be more clarification regarding your treatment options that were given to you.
If you could give us a call back, we would be happy to discuss this issue further.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Knapp, Kay, and all the folks at GoodSmiles in Tallahassee have been kind, cheerful, professional, forthright about treatment options and costs.l, and flexible on scheduling. So glad to have been a patient here over 20 years!
Positive experience: One of my front tooth fell out before Christmas. I called and made an appointment for 2pm on 12/27/23. At 3:05pm I was still in the dentist chair waiting for the dentist! The staff just said made excuses that there wasn't enough doctors. My response to that is then WHY even schedule an appointment to begin with! Ahmad is a nice man and professional at his job!
Negative experience: I thought this was a decent Dental Office but I was very wrong. I was given several prices for the same procedures ranging from 2,000-5,000 dollars. I knew this was a red flag but I returned to have a tooth pulled because I was in so much pain. The dentist was rough, careless, and dental hygienist was quoting ridiculous prices. I was so disgusted by the service I received that I requested a refund for the other procedures I intended to get. They were unsure of what my credit should be and how much I had already paid.. Which was alarming. After being told my credit was 430.20 they realized they miscalculated and it should actually be 650.00. I’ll be happy to receive my refund so that my business will be done with Goodsmiles. I would never return.
Fantastic experience: My experience with the dentist was excellent by all standards. From the friendly and professional reception by the staff, to the clean and modern environment in the clinic, everything was wonderful. During the visit, the doctor took the time to explain every detail and fully address all of my concerns. His expertise and pleasant manner made the visit comfortable and stress-free. I highly recommend Dentist Ahmad and Dr Roane to anyone looking for outstanding dental care
Fantastic experience: Keyonna, Terry and Mariah are so professional and friendly. I had to reschedule due to feeling ill and they worked around my schedule to fit me in. During my appointment they were calm and professional which made my nerves settle. I am so happy with my appointment and becoming a patient because of their attentiveness. Truly recommended!!!
Positive experience: I love GoodSmiles! The team there is always professional and consistent. I’ve been going there for years and would recommend them to anyone. Update ::Despite the below experience, I would still recommend them but I had to let others know just in case someone has a similar experience there with “Ahmad” . On April 2, I had a scheduled dentist appointment with Dr. Roane. I requested Dr. Roane to take a second look at a tooth that was causing me problems in which he recently worked on. Dr. Roane is awesome by the way, and this review has nothing to do with the doctor, the practice, or the service in its entirety. This review is to state my experience with the male dental hygienist, “Ahmad”. My first interaction with Mr. Ahmad, I received a filling which was done by Doctor Roane. Ahmad came into the room from smoking as I could smell the scent of fresh cigarette smoke coming from his person. I never observed him wash his hands and he began trying to work on me without any gloves on. When I asked him to put gloves on before touching the sterile items and my mouth, he told me I was being paranoid and that there are plenty of people that come into the office with various diseases. It should be noted prior to me sitting down, I notice noticeable strands of hair on the seat, so I asked Ahmad if he wouldn’t mind wiping it down. He appeared to be frustrated with this request. Ahmad also tried to go back in forth with me about placing gloves on his hands, but he eventually put the gloves on, and I was later seen by Doctor Roane. On April 2, 2024, this was my second interaction with Ahmad. He called me back to the room, put on gloves, touched everything in the room, left the room, and began putting the protective cover over me. He told me I needed to get an Xray with no other explanation. He then broke open the sealed sterile dental tools and touched all the end parts used to go inside of the mouth. Not one time did he change out his gloves. Observing once again his upkept unsanitary antics, I became disgusted and no longer wanted him to work on me let alone get an Xray and I politely verbalized this to him. He then became frustrated and stated, “have you ever been to a doctors office.” The question did not warrant a response due to it being an unprofessional question in my opinion. My Wife then tried to calm things over by asking for an explanation for the tension and to also get an explanation for the Xray. Instead of giving a professional explanation for the above, Ahmad appeared to get frustrated and yelled at her, “ARE YOU A DENTIST”, “ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO BE BACK HERE.” This was the straw for me as I could no longer sit there in a business with an unprofessional employee/dental hygienist not knowing how to respectfully speak to a patient with self -control of his emotions. I immediately summoned for his supervisor. None the less, the manager and Ally was pleasant and overturned the unprofessional/terrible experience with “Ahmad”. It should be noted that “Ahmad” needs to learn cleanliness and he needs to learn how to speak to people before he brings a bad rep to the business.
Fantastic experience: Ahmad is amazing! Ever time I visit GoodSmiles he takes care of me like I am apart of his family! Along with Dr. Roane, they are the best, EVER!
Fantastic experience: GoodSmiles was great for me. Five stars for Terry, Pam, Jalonie and Dr. Roahne! I like how they have grown and expanded while excelling in service along the way.
Fantastic experience: Pam was excellent. She is very experienced and professional at her job. She took good care of me. I enjoyed my visit to GoodSmiles and will recommend to my family and friends. Thank you.
Fantastic experience: This office is awesome. Had an accident where I broke my front tooth in half. Had a virtual visit with Dr Pike due to it being Sat and no one open. Called around Monday to 10 different offices, most couldn’t get me for a month or more. Called Goodsmiles and they got me in by Wed! Dr Pike is attempting to bond the broken tooth vs root canal and cap. He wants to try the least invasive method first vs. what would make the most money. I appreciate that very much. You have a new patient thanks to Dr Pike and the office staff! Update: Had a cleaning appointment a week later. Keyanna and Terry were awesome. Made me feel at ease and were prompt.
Fantastic experience: Ms Terry and Keyonna are awesome!! They are caring and are extremely patient with me. The greeter and downstairs office staff are also friendly and knowledgeable. I love Good Smiles!
Fantastic experience: I broke a tooth while visiting from Wisconsin. Good Smiles Dental Care got me in within 24 hours of my call and was able to get me a permanent crown within 3 hours! Lab on site was very helpful. Personnel was charming and compassionate. (Tech Pamela and Dr. Pike).
Fantastic experience: I was scheduled for my dental cleaning. The week prior I called to ask if I could also have a filing replaced when I come to my cleaning appointment because it had just fallen out. They worked with me to make sure I could get my cleaning and filing same day. All of the staff were great. The scheduler Erica followed up with me several times to make sure my she had my proper dental coverage ( I had forgotten to share that I recently moved). Erica text me and made sure she had what she needed. She didn’t know, but text was my method of choice because I work in a call center. Ashley and Katie assisted me with my cleaning. I really appreciated the care and professionalism they displayed. Pam and Dr. Pike assisted me with my filing. The entire staff was friendly and made sure to explain each procedure, what I should expect, and asked if I had any questions. From the warm greeting I received when I entered to the ladies that assisted me with checkout and rescheduling, everyone was friendly and professional. This was one of the best customer service experiences I have had with a dental office. Pam and I shared tips and laughs as she and Dr. Pike waited for my gums to numb. Dr. Pike is the friendliest dentist I have ever had. Thank you to the entire staff!
Fantastic experience: I tried over 10 dentists in our area, including my own that I have been with for 20 years to help me with a broken tooth that was lacerating my tongue. No one was able to help me except for the great people at Good Smiles. They were able to fix my problem and not break the bank at the same time. They have my business from here out.
Negative experience: My recent visit to this dental office was nothing short of a nightmare. Despite seeking urgent care for severe dental pain, I left feeling utterly disappointed and disrespected. The dentist and assistant seemed empathetic to my anxiety, but any semblance of comfort was shattered by the appalling behavior of the dental hygienist. Throughout my visit, the hygienist was not only rude but also fixated on my lack of insurance, despite my prior approval for financing. As if that wasn't distressing enough, I was handed a billing summary totaling a staggering $9000.00, leaving me feeling overwhelmed and taken advantage of. To make matters worse, my excruciating pain remains unresolved, despite the promise of emergency relief. The lack of proper care and attention made me feel dehumanized and ignored. What's more disheartening is the nagging suspicion that my mistreatment may have been influenced by my race, adding insult to injury. I refuse to subject myself to such mistreatment again and urge others to steer clear of this establishment. No one should endure such blatant disregard for their well-being and dignity. I implore anyone seeking dental care to explore other options where they will be treated with the respect and professionalism they deserve.
Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend this practice! Jalonie, Terry, and Dr. Roane are all very professional and friendly. As a little background information, I’m terrified of the dentist. I told Jalonie so and I was pleasantly surprised that she didn’t just blow it off and move on. She asked questions to find out more, went the extra mile to make me feel comfortable, and even ensured that Terry and Dr. Roane were aware of my anxiety before they came in. This gave the visit a personal feel and really showed how much the staff here cares. Terry also showed great compassion by explaining everything ensuring I understood what to expect as well as stopping briefly when I would get super tense. She would never point out that I was tense or bring attention to my discomfort, instead she’d have a little small talk or ask me something not-teeth-related which helped me take my mind off of the nerves and relax again. Those very brief moments meant a lot to me because it showed she cared. Especially since, with the skill level she exhibited, she didn’t need those breaks. I didn’t see Dr. Roane long but I was most impressed with the fact that he listened to and acknowledged the opinions of the other staff. He of course looked and confirmed himself before approving anything, but it shows allot about him as a doctor that his staff felt comfortable going to him with the suggestion. More so that he took the time to follow up on it.
Fantastic experience: Bebe is wonderful!! She made sure I had a crown taken care of before the July 4th weekend, and went above and beyond to ensure my comfort and peace of mind. She truly cares for her patients and goes out of her way to do all she can for them. Bebe is the best!!
Fantastic experience: Staff is always very friendly here and they do their best to make visits as comfortable and painless as possible. Convenient location and scheduling availability. I had two appointments in under two weeks and for both I had Bebe as the Dental Assistant. She’s outstanding and does a wonderful job putting this nervous patient at ease. Today I had a different dentist than I have previously seen and he was great too. Thanks, guys!
Fantastic experience: Jocy and Key were amazing today. My appointment went well and I am actually okay with coming back to the dentist in 6 months. You don’t hear that too often .
Fantastic experience: I have never been a fan of dentists , but Goodsmiles is more than skilled doctors and staff, they are wonderful people. Ollie on my first visit set the bar. Kind, gentle, and funny with a difficult patient..me. Next visit Jalonie me feel comfortable and actually had me laughing while doing X-rays. Terry was just amazing, skilled and very kind and thoughtful to her patients comfort. Got to meet Dr. Good and cannot wait for my appointment with her tomorrow. Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Very kind and nice people. Keyonna was very helpful and professional. Joyce was very nice and did a great job deep cleaning my teeth as well as dr Rome with letting me know I had a teeth that need to be pulled . Very great dentist highly recommend
Negative experience: Usually go to Good Smiles and pay out of pocket for 2+ years spending hundreds of dollars. The techs are very kind and helpful. Most recent visit I got new insurance and trying to get that set up with them they told me I missed the window for my appointment. Instead of stating the time limit transparently so I would have an option to get my cleaning out of pocket as I usually do. Do not reccomend the staff/receptionists are inconsiderate and manipulative.
Fantastic experience: Very pleased with the customer service I received at Good Smiles. From the front door to the dentist chair and back to the front door was a pleasant experience. Big praise to the young lady Keyonna for her exceptional patient care and professionalism. Highly recommend Good Smiles to anyone needing dental work.
Fantastic experience: I absolutely enjoyed both Keyonna and Jocy. These two women have great personalities and were a pleasure to meet during my visit. I would prefer to see the both of them for all of my procedures and would definitely recommend Great Smiles to all of my family and friends
Fantastic experience: Keyonna was very friendly and welcome me with open arms. Jocelyne also very nice and ensured the treatment would be painless. They both explained the process of my treatment. They were very professional and made me feel very comfortable. I’m genuinely happy with the procedure and how customer service
Negative experience: The experience with this place has been downhill. I came back to this place after Dr. Walman passed away to get work done. I got x-rays done and booked my appointment knowing I’d have to pay out of pocket bc my insurance ran out. I get to the app. to get my crown done, I was then notified my care plan didn’t reflect all the fees I’d be paying and the price doubled….. although annoyed, I rescheduled for another day so I could come up with the money. My appointment comes around again and literally the same thing happens, they forgot to add on an ADDITIONAL fee and the price goes up. To rectify this, they tact on this additional fee to my next appointment at a different date. My crown is done and I’m told to come back in 2 hours for my permanent crown. I come back and now I’m told my crown has a gap and to come back the next day. Next day arrives….. THEY TELL ME THEY DROPPED MY CROWN AND LOST IT. I would not recommend this place to anyone in need of major services. 900 bucks and 2 trips of wasted time. Edit 11/13/2023: today I went back in for the permanent crown hopeful this time they would make this right....the crown they made broke into pieces when they told me to bite down. I recieved a refund. Never coming back, nice staff but too many bad experiences.
Fantastic experience: Wonderful experience! Truthfully, as a male I will be the first to admit that we highly dislike being afraid of anything. That being said, I was genuinely afraid to have someone with metal picks prodding in my mouth and poking my gums. I'm so thankful I faced my fears because the job done on my teeth by Jocelyne Bourgeois was executed very well and very detailed. She was careful and aware of my nervousness, both of us knowing how badly I needed it. Thank you all very much for helping me take care of my health :)
Fantastic experience: I absolutely love d my visit. Such a wonderful, kind, friendly interactive staff. Both Sylvia and Dr. C were amazing. I came to this office looking to switch providers as I felt my previous office was pushing me into procedures I didn’t need in order for them to get more money. I never felt pressured during my office visit at GoodSmiles. Everyone from the front desk to the back rooms genuinely seemed to enjoy being at work and working on it one another (and that’s always a good sign). I left and immediately advised my boyfriend to switch offices. I highly recommend them to my coworkers as well.
Fantastic experience: My dental experience with Dr. Roane and Bebe were exceptional. Both were very professional and excellent in their delivery of my crowns. I feel so much better about my smile. The service I was provided was done in a timely manner, it only took two days. I was very impressed. Five star service. High recommendations to to Good Smiles Dental Care. Thank you. Maria Howard
Fantastic experience: Dr. Knapp and his dental hygienist were phenomenal. Dr. Knapp was very polite,patient and thorough describing the dental services that I need with rationales. He seems young , but one can tell is very knowledgeable and experienced. I did not feel nor get treated as a paycheck. He made me feel very comfortable. I am happy so far.
Fantastic experience: New patient. I am in love with this place. Thoroughly walked me through my treatment plan. Answered my questions and concerns, explaining what to expect and what was happening during treatment. Able to get appointments and not wait months. Dr. C, Sylvia and Dontay are wonderful. From entry to exit customer service is .
Fantastic experience: I’m typing this from another phone, but I just wanted it to be known that Bebe was very good and attentive of me while I was getting my crown prep done. Very excellent place and good people. also the receptionist Keyonna is very kind and polite, a sweet young woman
Fantastic experience: I have been here a few times now and it is by far the best experience I've ever had with a dental office. Dr. Good and Brady are absolutely amazing, all the staff is patient and kind and wants to make sure you are informed about both the dental procedures you're getting done as well as the cost. Everyone I interacted with was gentle and knew what they were doing, I'll never go to another dentist again!
