I had severe tooth pain from a rotted out tooth in August. I came in as a early morning walk-in. I was seen same day and he extracted my tooth. I went home with what seemed like normal pain and normal side effects. But then I noticed the left side of my face was dropped, my mouth still had no function and my eye was really swollen and dry and tearing up a lot.. I had been going on 3days of this so I was becoming really concerned. My left side of my face didnt look the same anymore and I was starting to freak out! Went in for a walk-in again to explain what was going on.. the same dentist saw me again for like 5mins and gave me 3pills and told me to take them. No prescription, just some pills in a bag. I took them over the next day and half and they did nothing. I was concerned still so my sister took me back and they prescribed a antibiotic, which again didnt help and made me sick.. My face eventually went back to normal on its own over the last 3weeks.. but now I have severe constant pain, a swollen left cheek and cant open my mouth fully. I would never go here again.. Worst experience ever!

I am new to this dental clinic, and it was a fabulous experience. I had a root canal that was absolutely pain-free and expertly done by my doctor. Everybody there treated me really really well and with a lot of kindness as I have a lot of anxiety. So happy I found this place.

Went there for a $80 visit (uninsured) because my teeth hurt and they basically told me I had two cavities but wouldnt specify which teeth and would not go into any further detail because it was a limited exam or something. The dentist was pretty cold and had a rude attitude. I sensed little care about my teeth or overall health and it seemed like they were not interested in helping me at all. The techs were ok though but basically a waste of $80 in my opinion.

I was in great pain as a result of my oversensitive teeth when I came in to their clinic at maplewood as a walk-in patient, and all the staff starting from the scheduler, the kind hygienist, and dental specialist made sure that my condition be treated as an emergency and immediately did a root canal to ease my pain. Im just greateful that they convinced me to do the operation right away to end my pain. went home swollen because of the emergency root canal but feeling a lot better. i am now able to eat a lot better. very thankful to all the staff.. kudos everyone...

Been going to this dental clinic for a few years now. I love it! Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. (An fun little bonus) is theres definitely enjoyable eye candy on hand to distract from any nerves. 😅Then, My Girls (Dr. Erika Enriquez and Dr. Brittney Hemmesch) are hilarious, warm, friendly, and, down to earth 🌎 They need to start a dental podcast. Titled: A Dentist Life! Lol. Id totally listen.... Thanks ladies you rock! 😘

Getting in to fix my teeth can be frustrating and hard to get dun. You need your teeth fixed rite away when they chip or hurt but so does everyone there. They fixed my teeth and take MA so Im happy to see them. Its not like Im available everyday either. Ive never had to fix work they did unlike some places Ill keep seeing them

I fractured one of my teeth and quite frankly, my body can’t fight off another infection after my immune system was destroyed by a spinal infection. My regular dentist couldn’t get me in for a couple weeks and if I waited that long…it would be too late. My friend suggested I call Community Dental because they take MA, blue cross blue shield, and they’ve been very good for my friends kids. Because of Covid, no other dentists were allowing walk ins, but community dental told me to come in the next morning and that id have to wait for the doc to be free, but I’d for sure get treated that day. I was prepared to wait hours in the waiting room, but after about 10 minutes they were able to get me back. I have PTSD because of a lot of medical trauma. The dentist asked me right away what she could do to help, that really meant a lot to me. Dentists in the past have not cared about how comfortable I am or if I’m feeling pain even after the initial novocaine. They gave me honest feedback about my teeth and pulled the fractured one. I’ve had teeth pulled before and this was by far the easiest and least painful experience. The only thing I could say for constructive criticism is that their front desk workers were not very welcoming. At least that’s the truth for the one i dealt with most. She said maybe two words to me and didn’t respond to any of my questions. As someone that’s permanently disabled, I try not to judge. Some people have disabilities we can’t see, or she could have just been having a terrible morning. Either way, that didn’t make or break the experience. Overall, im very pleased and especially grateful.

They got me in sooner than any other dentist would while accepting my insurance. It was only supposed to be an exam but they ended up just extracting the wisdom tooth I wanted gone! It was a very smooth and fast experience. The dentist was super sweet and tried to make sure I was as comfortable as possible.

That explain why 3 stars! Now I get it… Now i get there is no compassion to patients at all!

Best dentist I have ever gone to. Im shocked by previous reviews. I have gone twice and im looking forward to my next appointment!

Took my son here for what I presumed was an abscessed tooth. The L.D.A. was so nice and great with him! Dr. Fish was very thoughtful, explained everything that could have caused the abscess, and what to do in the future to prevent further infections. Instead of having my son come back at a later date, they were able to perform the extraction on the spot; which I truly appreciated! Thank you so much!

My first time at that clinic. Everybody there was very nice. The hygienist and the dentist told me what was next and what to expect during an emergency extraction. Fantastic clinic. I wouldn’t hesitate to go back there again.

Oh where do I start. How about with, DONT WASTE YOUR TIME HERE. If you make an appointment be prepared to wait four months to be seen. I did this, and they told me my insurance wasnt okay. I called my insurance and they said it was just fine. I relayed this to them and they said theyd run it again and call me when ready. I waited for an hour, asked them what the holdup was and they still tried to tell me my insurance wasnt okay. I offered to call them for her and she told me we should reschedule. And then told me that the next appointment wouldnt be for ANOTHER THREE MONTHS. These people do not care about their customers, and they treat people poorly. This place is a joke, I would give negative stars if I could.

If I could give this place a negative star I would. Customer care is terrible. Receptionist need further training so they do not waste peoples time.

Yanci M was awesome with my son!!

I went to this clinic to figure out what went wrong with my two teeth in the lower jaw. After waiting for a little longer than normal time, a doctor came and saw my teeth and said they both have cavities. I asked him to remove the one which was giving pain at the time. He said he cant do it today and told me to come after two weeks. I was in a bad pain and he was telling me to come in two weeks! That is cruel and irresponsible. These people are there to collect money, not to treat people. The same doctor suggested that I have to consider the removal of two other teeth which were fine at the time of my visit. I wish I didnt go there at all. I saw people who are unwilling to help. That is unprofessional!

I woke up yesterday morning with a swollen toothache that was making me miserable all day. Took some Aleve which took away the pain but then I notice my tooth had shifted to one side which wasn’t good because it caused me to have issues with talking and chewing. So I decided that I’ll take a long shot and call Community Dental Maplewood and see if they are able to squeeze me in which by that time it was 5:00 pm. The receptionist I spoke was very understanding and very nice, I was put on hold for a few minutes in return I was booked right away and went in as soon as possible. Wait time wasn’t long the usual signing documents and provide insurance. Once name was called to go in, my nurse was super awesome and thorough with her information on healing and procedures. This was my first extraction and it was very smooth and pleasant experience. Wasn’t like a horror freak show or anything. Numbing wasn’t painful at all, didn’t even realize I was getting numb, thought the doctor was just poking around my gums. I had two teeth that needed to be pulled, wisdom and my moler but that took only seconds and quick, did not feel a thing! Very grateful because even though the healing is going to suck at least they helped me by taking the throbbing pain away for good. I highly recommend them for emergency extractions but most case scenarios may differ really depending on the situations but I was very pleased to be taken care right away. I wish I got the names down for my nurse and doctor. And I wished I can have them all the time when I go in to visit because even when I had no clue what to expect my nurse guided me through all the way with what to expect from the extractions to answering my questions. I honestly got to admit I wanted to really passed on this one and just dose up on otc meds and just pray the pain goes away but I was very happy that I chose to go in to get it pulled out. So thank you to the people there that helped me expedite my situation and really made me feel comfortable for first timer. And to the nurse that really helped me out last night you’re a real angel and I hope you stay that way, you can really brighten people up since coming to the dentist is usually really a frightful thought for me.

The staff is helpful and we have gone to other dentists over the years and always return to Community Dental. The service is good and they are helpful to answer questions and work with their patients.

The doctors are okay. They seem to do a decent job but Im not a dentist. The doctors are somewhat kid-friendly enough to get by. Everyone else, all the rest of the staff are foreigners. You cannot understand what theyre saying. This is very scary to a child. They are not children friendly at all and have no people skills whatsoever. Its kind of like walking into a third world dentist center. I would never trust my child in the hands of one of their assistants again. With that said we have gone elsewhere.

Based on my personal experiences, this place is just fine. Up to date tools, practices, and medication. Staff is very diverse and helpful. Never had any bad experiences going here.

Friendly, chatty staff, great fish tanks, tvs in the lobby, great if you dont mind crowds. Usually willing to accommodate demand for composite filings, maybe not always. Prescribes antibiotics, I opted not to have my tooth out at the first sign of abcess.

I had a appointment a long while ago but when I got there they said my insurance wasn’t working and needed to reschedule, so I did. I just walked in 7 min late after waiting 4 months just to have them tell me I need to reschedule again and wait another 4 months for an opening cause I was a little late. I get I was late but I’ve been waiting months and they can’t even wait a few minutes for me. There going under for a reason...

I went in for a check up and they told me I had a cavity. They said the could fix it that same day. Everything was fine. They took xrays and got it fixed. As I was walking out I let one of the dentist/assistants (?) know that the metal cover thing they put on it was pointy and sharp. They wouldn’t fix it. Told me to come back another day. I went back a week later and they shaved it down and part of the tooth. Fast forward a few months later and the filling has completely come out. I HAVE A HOLE IN THE BACK OF MY TOOTH! And they won’t call me back. Worst experience ever.

I would not give them one star if they had a 0 star rating that is what I would give them. This is the worst dental clinic I have ever been to. I had a wisdom tooth removed and there is still a hole in my mouth where it was removed from as well as continuous pain 6 months later. I have had two other wisdom teeth pulled and never had this problem. I would not suggest anyone going to this dentist I have a couple other experiences here that I could go into detail about but I will not. Do not use this dentist at all for any reason.

Dr Tran, Mitch and Julie have gone above and beyond to help me with my dental needs. They have been kind and considerate in every area. All of the receptionists and staff are truly the best and truly care. Thank you💖

Took my kiddo here for a cleaning and checkup and the staff were really good with her. They were joking around and being silly with her and she loved that.

Someone stated if you value your teeth to avoid, well as a customer (not competitor) I say if you value a dollar and NOT giving big cash hoarding corps like the Metros of the world - go here.Show me a gold crown price (cash) no insurance at Metro - 3k prob on the low end for a PRE molar! Makes you question how much dental school cost? I assure you the dentists there at Metro go to the SAME schools as Community. This place a second molar costs around a grand - that my friends is called - value! Costs about the same as the U dental school w/o the WAIT and done by graduated dentists!Do it - you wont regret it!! They probably have more clients than they need but that mindless review ticked me off.These folks are doing a valuable SERVICE for our state! It isnt all about the $$$ like the others (i.e.Metro), oh and they were OPEN for emergencies during the covid crisis. Your big $$ clinics referred you to MEDICAL emergency rooms!! It is LAW that a dentist must pull a tooth, not a GP. Of course you can pull your own at your own peril, but keep that in mind when going to a hospital ER. I think only one staffs a dentist..

They destroyed my daughters teeth and now all her root canals are Infected. Thank God we are going to a real dentist to get it fixed. Stay far away from here.

Location was good. The wait about 30 to 45 min long, staff ok. Doctor ok.

I had such a wonder experience yesterday! I came in as an emergency walk in and was treated with care and felt like I was the only patient my doctor and his team had to see. They took their time with me and explained what was the plan to help make me feel better! Im so grateful and happy with the results! Thank you everyone who was involved in my care from the girls in the front desk, finance team, my doctor, and his assistant. Thank you!!!!!!

Been to a few dentists before going to this one and this one is my favorite. Staff was so nice and understanding. I got lucky because someone canceled (they are usually booked up for months). Went in for a cleaning and fillings the same day! Would highly recommend ❤

I was a little skeptical at first, but the staff here was amazing! I brought my 8 year old in for a check up. The moment we walked through the door the staff was kind and smiling. The dental therapist and Dr. Tan were great with my son!!!! Explained everything to him and were so nice. We will be returning for his next check up!!!

I recently had an emergency and they basically rearranged the whole clinic to squeeze me in and they did a great job on the filling. It was a big one. Ive never had a bad experience with these professionals. The environment isnt five star, but the service definitely is.

They charged me $ 92.00 for behavioral management, because my son was scared. He cried, and they did not help to calm him down at all. The dentist made the situation worse. The dentist got very angry. She basically forced him to open his mouth. This scared my youngest son who was also scheduled for an exam. Now both of my kids are afraid to go to the dentist. I feel that she should have referred us to a dentist that can handle the situation properly.

Its hard to give them 1 star after another experience with this place. Reminds me of why I left this clinic before. I thought I would give them another try. After waiting like 6 months for my appointment for a cleaning I show up and get called into their financial office before I go back for my appointment. I get informed that since I had x-rays in January at a different clinic that I would have to pay for them prior to my visit. I never had to pay before with my insurance. Not to mention my drive of over 30 miles not to be seen. They must have known I would have owed prior to my appointment they obviously looked into. Maybe informed me that I should get my x-rays prior to appointment. I wasnt impressed when I went there before but thought they might have improved. Wrong. I call after I leave to speak with a manager and the person who answered the asked who I was, what I was calling about and once I explained I was asked to hold while they find a manager to help me. I wait on hold for over 10 mins and a recording comes on asking me to leave a message. I wasnt informed they were not available to speak to me. So I left a message and now I am waiting for a call back. I will be contacting my insurance company as well. Will never go back. I have never left a review before but customer service is very important. I did get a call back and was informed it was their error and I could be put on their cancellation list they are booking out to February

Ive been going to this clinic for my annual check-up for last 4 years. Yes, this place doesnt look high-end clinic but I am totally fine with them. My only concern that they are always books like 2-3 months ahead and you cannot do anything about it. Which is, apparently, good sign - it seems, people go there all the time :) So if you need ER, this isnt place you should try to get in. Besides it, staff is friendly and helpful. My BlueCross insurance covers it completely.

A very welcoming office. The front desk staff is very helpful and obliging with all questions answered. The professional staff also is very informative and is concerned with giving one the best outcome in dental work. We appreciate your efforts. A great team!

I had the absolute worst experience at this place. It was super dirty everywhere, i have never seen a medical office look so unprofessional in my life. Everything being done in my mouth was very unclear. The whole time i was very uncomfortable and in pain. They were literally ordering me around telling me to relax meanwhile they were stabbing and slicing my tongue and gums. I used to love the dentist now i never want to go back again. Not to mention that they didnt even warn me what they had cut and stabbed. Nor did they apologize. They forgot to take the gauze out of my mouth when they were done so i did and it was full of blood that i was not expecting to see just for a couple fillings. The staff was untrained and i highly suggest to do whatever you can to avoid this dump.

Avoid if you value your teeth.Most harsh, unnecessary and unpleasant “tooth cleaning”I would compare it to trying to sweep up a sidewalk with a Jack Hammer.I can’t undo the past, I can only give this warning, hoping it will lessen the suffering others experience.

The staff is almost always friendly & courteous. Weve found it very easy to schedule appointments, especially compared to many past dental offices. We have had many successful treatments including but not limited to root canals, pulled teeth, & regular cleanings. Its about a 1/2 hour drive from our home, but we havent even considered finding a closer office because we like this one greatly!

Great front desk etiquette. Some good experiences with certain dentists. Most of the dentists seem young, I would question the amount of years they have been working as a dentist, not years of studies! My sons filling has fallen out of place twice within less than 3 months. Lots of factors, but it was done by same dentist. On another note, some dentists seem to not know how to deal with patients who have anxiety as one of my daughters get real anxious when going to the dentist and the job just never gets done because shes too anxious. I never had any issues with the dentists I used to see down in Oklahoma with any of my children or myself. I also believe they need to review some of their late, no show policies. Given that if a client schedules for an appointment less than 24 hours from time they schedule, and misses it for a good reason, they shouldnt get penalize (counted) for it. However, for the non reasonable excuses, I understand itd be fair to count it.One thing I also dont think is professional about it is when Im getting my teeth done, fix..and the two people who are supposedly taking care of me talks about how their love lives are and forgets to do a service that we initially planned on doing for me..yes, that is what Id call unprofessional. Thats not excellent client care.

Ive read some horror stories ob here but I have had all great experiences thus far. Staff has been very friendly and helpful. They work on a sliding scale so those without dental insurance can get discounted visits. Maybe Ive just been lucky but would definitely recommend.😁

My experience with community dental in Maplewood was amazing! I would definitely recommend this place. Ill be coming back from more dental work in the future.

If you are considering this dental place RUN away! This was the worst experience I have ever had in my life. People say they fear the dentist and I have been one of the few people who has loved the dentist, though this place made me fear the dentist too. First off I had a student who was LEARNING on ME!! The main dentist was there instructing the student and the whole time I felt like a guinea pig. They talked about every little detail as they went along and kept getting water and paste all over my face. They wanted to take 32 x-rays and refused to treat me unless I got all done. After the cleaning My teeth hurt and stung for hours afterwards. I went here cause it was the only place that would except my insurance and I wish I would have skipped it. I would NEVER recommend this dental place to anyone. Stay far way they are awful!!

If I could I wouldnt give them a star but to be able to comment on here you have to give a star. Just got out of the clinic. I have the worst experience here with them working with my child, very unprofessional, rude and impatient with children. My son was suppose to be getting fillings for his teeth, but I also asked them about doing crowning for his upper front two teeth....I was told they could do the crowning and fillings all at once if my son cooperates, which he did cooperates! but instead the doctor decide not to do the fillings after doing the crowning on my son. Saying he was not cooperating and we were late (we were no more than 3 min late. I felt that that was rude to said to me and my child and the doctor was making an excuse) and it would be a longer procedure if they did the fillings, so it would be best if I schedule another appointment. When they do see that my sons teeth are really bad and needs that filling!!! I dont have time to wait for another appointment, I needed it to be done at that time!!! I am super angry and disappointed!!! Also all the staff at this place does not seem friendly at all nor any of the staff in there greet you and even the ones working with you and your child, they dont smile either!!! I WILL NOT BE RETURNING TO THIS CLINIC.

This place takes great of their patience and explained everything very thoroughly. They do a great job on your teeth. If you ever feel nervous about going to the dentist come here because they will explain everything and show you how its done.

I had a root canal a few years ago from here. Well they must not have done it right. Maybe missed some nerves because I have been dealing with the worst pain the last 5 days and it seems I need to have the root canal redone. This has been the most excruciating pain of my life. And it is going to cost 1700.00 to have it retreated with a specialist. Why was it not done right in the first place? So frustrating!I will not be back

Great place to go if you like throwing money away. If you let them touch your teeth they will crack others and leave you to shrivel away septic. Not a handicapped or human friendly place at all

I had such a good experience up until Dr. Mohamed. I had a very intense tooth extraction and was given nothing to help with pain. I asked for her many times send in a prior authorization to my insurance for pain medication, My insurance said nothing was submitted. I was asking for Morphine or Oxycodone. I was asking for 12 Tylenol 3. This continued on for days while I could eat, couldnt sleep, very irritable, laid in bed with cold and heat pack and no relief. I even resorted to Ibuprofen and Tylenol and it didnt even touch the pain. The whole point of this review after for calling everyday for 6 days for help Dr. Mohammed told me she wasnt going to help me because now it was 7 days and she would have to send it on to the DEA. LIKE WHAT?!?!?! Stop treating everyone like we are drug addicts because other ruined it for people that need it

Dental office administration is extremely PETTY! They sent me a letter in 2015 telling me that me or any of my family members could not be seen there again, because I informed the administrator that the dentist that saw my daughter did not give her the care that he stated he did. Apparently they did not like the fact that I stated this about the dentist, took his side, and banned us from the clinic!! 4 years later my 17 year old son who is in excruciating PAIN from 2 severely infected molars and needs a root canal or double extraction, they turned him away!! Community Dental Care should be investigated for their lack of good practice, lack of compassion, lack of care period. They treat people like animals!! They make a child suffer for the actions of an adult?? Whose really acting like the child now?? The Attorney Generals office should be alerted by EVERYONE who has has had a bad experience at this clinic!! Starting now!!

Used to love this place but not anymore these past two years. Last year around Nov, i went in to get a filler and was told that I need a crown so i agreed to it. However, i was told they had to ask the dentist first and they would get me a call back regard about the appointment. A week later, i didnt get any call so i called them and i was told the same thing. Still havent get any call about that even now. So today, i went in for another appointment and had to wait 3 hours and it was not even my turn yet so i just left. I have a life and i dont have all day to be sitting and waiting. If someone made an appointment they shouldnt have to wait that long. Very unprofessional when it comes to the scheduling and handle clients. I get that things can get busy and etc but get more staffs if needed. Try to understand the meaning of an appointment and people a have life too. We dont have all day just for an appointment.

Ive called and left messages to set up an appointment. Ive emailed and requested information... nothing.. And this is a span of over 5 months... since January 2017.. It is now June and still have not received a call back or anything. Guess I will have to find another place. Sucks, cause Ive heard good things.. Oh well...

Loved when I got my teeth cleaned. Not looking forward to root canal because I never gotten it done there before. But cant wait for the nerves to be killed because the pain sucks. See you Tuesday. Ill write review on how visit is the next day

I been here for my husband, son, brothers and mother in law, Dr G is the best and front desk to every single person here is very attentive and nice, big lobby to wait comfortably as well and great service so far I cant complain at all.

After work done on my tooth Ive been in pain and they cant get me in for 3 weeks...really?GET A SECOND OPINIONThey shouldnt have filled the tooth. I went for a second and third opinion to 2 different places.My tooth needed a root canal not a filling. I ended up having to have it pulled. The other tooth that they said needed a root canal is fine. It doesnt need anything. Another tooth that they said had no cracks in it, has many many cracks in it.Your going to spend more money having work redone at this place, or work done that doesnt need to be done. Are these people even dentists? Are they just practicing?I have never seen anything like it.Pretty scary!

I just got some work done by I believe the Dr. name was Nicole.She is so amazing. And definitely makes you feel comfortable. :)

This clinic is one of the worsts Dental clinics Ive ever been to. They over charged me for my fillings by $60 and didnt feel the need to tell me for an entire year. I made an appointment for another filling. When i got there sat down and said how much will this cost. I asked about the money i was called about the month prior. Shouldnt that go towards my new filing. the lady had no idea what i was talking about she then told me she didnt know why i was there I had no record of fillings for five years prior. I explained to the lady that they called me to set up this appointment. After realizing that this whole thing seemed to be scam to get my money i demanded that they give me my money they have had it far to long and i wasnt going into see a dentist that didnt seem to know. why i was there. they wanted me to wait 2 more weeks for my money in the mail. i said that money should have been sent to me two weeks after insurance came back. all while waiting for them to find away to cut me a check right then and there the staff talked about how they were family oriented business trying to save low income families some money. I explained how at many points in the year prior I could have really used that $60. like when my child needed formula or diapers. so if you were really about low income families you would give them there money back when they overpaid or at the very least notify them that its there and ask if you would like the money back or if you want to put it towards your next dental procedure. He apologized and said were short staffed and i replied for an entire year. right I dont believe it. So this was a year ago now and i just finally went to another dentist. the cavity that i was supposed to have filled that day at community dental is not a cavity its just a little divot in my tooth. so they had intended to charge me more money to have a filing i didnt even need. If you are going here and it doesnt seem right what there telling you. if you can i would get a second opinion.

This place saved me and my teeth! The dentist and assistant were so knowledgeable and generous with their time. They found some ways to save me money. The ONLY part of my root canal that hurt was the novacain!!

Their customer service representative was the rudest most condescending, ignorant person Ive ever spoken to. I called to ask about 2 fillings that fell out and asked if they would replace them at no cost. She said I needed an exam to determine whether or not they were responsible but they would bill insurance for the exam. I then asked if it was deemed they were at fault for the fillings falling out would I have to cover the exam or replacement fillings. She said they would bill my insurance. I explained that if deemed their fault I didnt want my insurance company to pay for exam or new fillings. She insisted they would be billed. I explained that we all pay for our insurance one way or another and if improperly placed fillings come loose why should we (out of pocket or insurance) pay for new fillings or the exam to determine cause? Her reply was,I think youre being rude and I am going to hang up on you I started to ask how is asking that question being rude when she hung up. Needless to say, I wont be returning to Community Dental and will let my insurance company know what this reps view is on who should pay regardless of situation.

Great services. The Doctors are very nice and listen well to you and your questions. But, it is next to impossible to get a second appointment within 6 months.

My dentist is wonderful!!!but 2 of the ladies at the front desk always have an attitude

I would not recommend this place to anyone else. They did a filling for my son and did not ask me if I want silver or white. Of course they put white fillings and charge more for it. My wife took my son there again and they needed extra staff to hold him down and they charge us money for it. This place is ridiculous.

So disappointed. My daughter is blind and even if they havent worked with someone who is blind, they should know you cant just try putting something in someones mouth without saying something about it. I honestly will never go back there. It was my daughters first ever dentist appointment and it was tramatizing for her. Maybe its just better for kids not to go there.

Best Dental facility I’ve been to in my LIFE! Customer service care PERFECT PERFORMANCE, Knowledgeable, Politeness, Cleaner than ARCADE/Mariland office! I am very satisfied with my Dental care & put my trust in the DDS hands. They did a great job on my teeth. Love ❤️ being pampered here 😃TO COMMUNITY DENTAL CARE MAHALO FOR YOUR BEAUTIFUL SMILES & GREAT PERSONALITY! MAHALO! 💋 Highly recommended for children!! KIDS FRIENDLY 😇👋👋👋

I dont know where to begin... I literally dislike this place. Will never ever take my kids back. Rude doctors! Staff are great but Doctors are just plain rude. They couldnt do a thing for my kids and all they did was recommend us to a doctor who doesnt take Medical Assistance..... So got ourselves a BIG bill for just 2 teeth....

I would give zero Stars if I could. Ive gone there a few times and they are always screwing up. They do half-ass work, customer service stinks. Maplewood location is not pedestrian-friendly for those who do not drive, especially in the winter. You rarely ever get to see the same dentist when you return. I have called to complain a few times and nobody ever gets back to me. I would not recommend Community Dental at any of their locations.

Took my 5 year old son here due to an emergency. His bottom tooth was bleeding and I could not stop the bleeding. They did not help us because for some reason dr topley put a nasty note into my little one’s account and asked staff and other doctors not to help our family under any circumstance! Woow... needless to say I am still in shock...

I made an appointment for the 2nd of December way back in October because that was the soonest they could get me in. I make my way all the way to Maplewood, which is roughly 45 minutes away from me, and walk into a Christmas party. After arriving I was informed that they cancelled all appointments after 2pm to have this Christmas party, and cancelled my 3pm appointment without notifying me. So Im incredibly disappointed in the unprofessional nature of the scheduling staff for cancelling my appointment without notifying me. I also dont understand what kind of place holds any type of party during normal business hours. Unfortunately for me this is the only place that will take my insurance, so I dont have much selection in which dentist I go to. If I did I wouldnt make another appointment with them. They said theyll call me on Monday to reschedule my appointment, which Im incredibly unhappy to hear since I had to wait 2 months for this appointment, so I can only imagine how long Ill have to wait to get another one. My first and only experience with this place has been incredibly negative, but I hope they make this right.

May be good for simple dentistry, but not for prosthedontics. If you need dentures or partials, this is not the place.

I went to Community Dental in St Paul (2014)...after I told Dr Vang that she could not use the 2 upper teeth as abutment teeth (teeth used to hook the partial on) she referred me to the Us Dental Clinic. Even they ignored my comment that #15 hurt when Vang put the upper partial in/out to adjust it. Eventually I ended up at the Maplewood clinic with Dr John Schulte (retired from U with 42 yrs of experience-helping out seasonally, and part-time). He was still going to use the same 2 teeth. Before I returned for 3rd set of impressions, I reached in my mouth and wiggled #15. That hurt!! And finally that unworkable plan came to a stop!!! Because the other abutment tooth was a 20 year old implant-and I had started to feel vague pain up in my jaw, and NO one at Community Dental knew how to remove an implant.......I was discharged. (They could have referred me out as Dr Vang had once done for a root canal- but hey-Community Dental cut their losses. I live on just Social security-Disabled since 2004. The money I then had came from my car being totaled, Its now January 2019 and I still have No denture or partial, because I dont have the money.I had consulted with 5 different Lawyers. No one would take my case. The last Lawyer told me that to pursue a Dental Malpractice claim was both time consuming and expensive, hard to prove because their standard of care was so low.I sued Dr Varachee Peterson, CEO of Community Dental-the person who discharged me-for BREACH OF CONTRACT. Community Dental took all my money and I did not get any wearable teeth.Now the fun began....Community Dentals Lawyer is there and says Its MALPRACTICE! And to prove Malpractice I would have to have a different dentist provide a signed Affidavit saying that Community Dental had committed malpractice. And well, that was not going to happen. This has all been approved by the Minnesota State Legislature. NO ONE CAN SUCCESSFULLY SUE A MN DENTIST!!!!!!! MA Dentists work for the State and THEY PRACTICE WITH IMPUNITY!!!!!!!!!In the Maplewood Clinic, where Dr Varachee works, there is a huge sign with her history. She came from Thailand and had originally wanted to be a Missionary, but became a dentist instead. I was actually touched the first time I read that, but now I think she would not have become as wealthy and as socially and politically connected as she currently is if shed become a Missionary...but as a Missionary, she may have caused less damage and hardship to people who turn to MA dentists for help. LET THE BUYER BEWARE!!!!!!

Had great experiences in the past... trying to make an appointment for the last three weeks, they never answer their phones... Trying another dentist.

Were so happy to have found these dentists! Staff and dentists are friendly and have done a great job on our teeth

Everyone was friendly, from the front desk person, the Dental aide, and the Dentist. Financial personal were AWESOME! friendly and helpful.

If the department manger dont like you, you are not getting the job, they seem to look for people they like and tell you straight ahead like: oh well what we are doing is different from what you are doing even though it the same thing, even if you have experience, they told me I didnt get the job cause I didnt know hmong, but they never ask me to speak in Hmong, wow

Selam did an amazing job at thouroughly, yet gently, cleaning my teeth and the receptionist was very informative and kind. Very impressed for a community dental care. I will definitely keep them as my dentist office!

People are dumb they are not that bad infact i think there very nice people ive been here many times all drilling quality work and FREE cant go wrong

Overall best dental experience I have ever had. I am a low income student and was accepted into the 40% off group. The bonding on my permanent retained came off the night before and I called at 8 am and got right in the same day at 1 pm. It only cost $37 and the appt only took about 20 mins. Rachael the billing specialist was very nice and informative and the dentist was the nicest person I have ever met. Overall great experience.

They were both nice and professional!

Horrible customer service!! It took 15 minutes just for someone to just pick up the phone lines. When i asked to speak to a financial/billing person for my refund they hesitated and tried to answer my questions without any knowledge of my situation. I was first told my refund was sent out, then was told that the person in charge pang was out on vacation and then when I called back was put on hold for over 1 hour!! Horrible, horrible, horrible customer service... better of going to a private dentist!!

Ive been patient in this clinic while studying at the U of MN. Working staff is very nice, but everything else is just bad.Outdated equipment, policies, and greedy builing system. Recently I signed a waiver to transfer my records to my current dental clinic near my house and Boyton dental clinic asked a fee of $6 for bitewing and $15 for panoramic x-rays. These are digital x-rays that they email to a different clinic and cost absolutely nothing. No other clinic charge those fees. Its patients right to take their records and old x-rays to a new clinic for better evaluation (dental history). This is nothing but bullying practice by the clinic to get more money from patience (former students). I would not recommend Boyton Dental Clinic, there are much better, honest clinics in Twin Cities.

Honestly pleased and happy with how painless and fast my root canal was done!

Walk ins Welcome excellent staff very caring up front and Honest !

They advertise emergency dental care and claim to take walk-ins. I had a terrible toothache today but when I called they were unable to accomodate me at any of their locations. False advertising. Very disappointex and still in pain.

Dr. Ashu Malhotra threw up her hands and refused to complete the procedure when my girlfriend winced in pain. This is after breaking her tooth in half. No explanation was given and there was no medical reason for this. The doctor was crabby and left my girlfriend in pain. No words were exchanged. This was willful misconduct leading to prolonged discomfort. I will never allow anyone I care about anywhere near this clinicI need to ad, after the initial debacle she was seen by a dr. Schaefer and he was a consummate professional.

Waited for over TWO HOURS for them to tell me that my insurance was not accepted there (which it is, and was confirmed by the carrier) only to be told that the insurance company was closed for the day (it was not) and that my cleaning would cost $261.00 out of pocket. After over 125 minutes, I left without any service.

One of the only places in the Twin Cities metro area that takes new patients with the state civic smiles insurance. If you have different insurance you may want to try elsewhere but if you have civic smiles this is the place to go.

On 9-2-15, (12ysold) and (9 yrsold) went for their first visit to the dentist. Myself and the 9yr old had been called in first while the 12yr old and my mother were called after us.The hygienist took xrays of the boys.(We have not been shown xrays yet) After the teeth cleaning, DR. PERKINS came and talked with me about the 9yr old having 5 cavities. She stated that she can get them all filled today. By this time, my mother and the 12yr old was already getting his teeth cleaned and he has 3 cavities also. I want to mentioned that while I myself have been to the dentist before, NEVER ONCE DID THE DR. PERKINS showed us the x rays of the boys teeth and take her time to explain to us about the results. WE are just going by what she tells us. Dr. PERKINS did not seemed friendly at all.She just informed us that they needed cavities filled. My mother agreed to get both the boys their teeth filled that day. Luckily, the boys were just right across the hall from each other, so I can see my mother in the other room with the12yr old . Before getting their teeth filled, my mother asked Dr Perkins if it was necessary for the 9yr old to get all his 5 cavities filled, since one of his tooth was just wiggly baby tooth that will come out eventually. Dr Perkins convinced that they needed to come out. DR PERKINS started on the 12 yr old first. I WANT TO STRESS THAT I HAD ASKED DR PERKINS IF SHE WILL BE USING ANY ANESTHETIC ON THE BOYS AND SHE ASSURED ME THAT THE CAVITIES WERE NOT DEEP AT ALL AND THEY SHOULDNT FEEL A THING. HER OWN WORDS WERE THEY WILL NOT HURT. She assured the boys to raised their hands if they feel any pain. The boys raised their hands about 5 times to tell her that they were in pain. She continued just to tell them that it shouldnt hurt. Its apparent that the boys were in a lot of pain. She was negligence towards their concerns. Shell just stop and say Well, lets continue to the next teeth if this one hurts instead of figuring out whats causing it. DR PERKINS WAS VERY VERY RUDE. If you hate your job, then why do it. If youre not good with kids, then why would the dental even let you work on kids? The dental place should know DR PERKINS and not even allow her to work with kids. These kids have been traumatized from this one experience. Im so disappointed in the way we were treated. The assistant and DR PERKINS WERE TALKING AMONG THEMSELVES ABOUT HOW MUCH THEY HATE SOMETHING SOMETHING. Very unprofessional. This business needs to be shut down. Dr PERKINS used the gag on the boys and I could tell she was just an angry person. She purposely cranked the gag mouth piece higher than Ive ever seen and the kids mouth was sore for a week. I have been emotionally distressed by this. The day this happened, I called the and talked with the manager Vong and expressed my concerns to him. He pretended to be sympathetic and explained to me that sometimes they dont use anesthetic on the boys because it if the cavities were just on the surface, then it shouldnt hurt them, BUT I ASSURED HIM THAT IT DID HURT THE BOYS AND THEY RAISED THEIR HAND CONSTANTLY WHEN IT HURT. She will continually tell them that Oh, it shouldnt hurt or Oh, well, then lets move on to the next teeth, Or Ok, ok, ok, ok, next one!. I am pretty pissed at how we were treated. After talking to the manager VONG, he assured me that he will talk to DR PERKINS and ask her side of the story, ask why she decided not to use anesthetic on the boys and hell look at the xrays over with her and call me back shortly. I WANT TO STRESS THAT THAT WAS ALSO A LIE. VONG HAD NEVER CALLED BACK FOR A FOLLOW UP NOR DID HE CARE ABOUT HIS PATIENT. THIS BUSINESS NEEDS TO BE SHUT DOWN. IF YOU CARE ABOUT MONEY BUT NOT THE PATIENT, THEN WHY HAVE A BUSINESS THAT CLAIMS YOU CARE ABOUT LOW INCOME FAMILY. It has been 1 month and half and never a called. IF HE REALLY HAVE FORGOTTEN THEN IT JUST COMES TO SHOW HOW MUCH THEY DONT CARE ABOUT THEIR PATIENT.I must add that while we were checking in and stuff, the receptionist was gossiping to the interpreter about their PATIENT!

Not the best clinic so far. The doctor just removed my tooth and said nothing about one that was getting cavities. I was on medical assistance..........

The people here are so nice! First time in a long time I didnt feel anxiety and stress.

Great people. Great dental care.

Great place! Good work and treated with respect!

It took them 25 minutes to answer the phone..bad for business..

The doctors are REALLY RUDE I went in for my tooth pain and the doctor wanted to pull the two teeth and thats all he wanted to do he would not do any thing else he said the teeth could not be saved so I went to a different dentist and they told me the teeth can be saved so Im vary dissatisfied with my care here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Called to schedule an appt, waited patiently for 53 minutes and got hung up on! REALLY! DO YOU GUYS ANSWER THE PHONE??? Get an answering service or hire more people to answer your calls!! So unprofessional!

I went in with a cracked tooth that broke in half & I had a lot of pain. I had insurance but even with insurance I had to pay for the tooth to be extracted but what they dont tell you is you have to pay in full in advance. Since I didnt have the money & they wont bill you I had to leave without my tooth being fixed & no pain meds. Wont go back.

Very hard and kind workers! You will see me there a lot!

Just tried to make a appt been going there for years its may they cant get me in until end of August wt hell not happy at all see you never will return..

They are very friendly while they are cleaning you teeth 🤓

Very caring and helpful

Theyre okay
