I had an appointment scheduled for Friday, April 28th in the afternoon. When I scheduled the appointment weeks before I requested to see Dr. Turnipseed. I received a call earlier in the week telling me that Dr. Turnipseed would be leaving the office at noon and I would have to come in the morning. So I changed my work schedule to the afternoon so I could come to the dentist office that morning. I was called back a little before my scheduled time and orajel was applied. Shortly after that Dr. Turnipseed came and gave me the shot to numb the area where I was getting 2 fillings. The dental assistant prepped the area and told me Dr. Turnipseed would be over. We talked for a while and it was about 30 minutes later at this time. The assistant got up a couple of times. When she came back the 2nd time she asked me if I wanted the newer dentist to do my fillings because Dr. Turnipseed was working on two patients with braces. I told her I scheduled my appointment with Turnipseed when I made the appointment and that is who I was expecting to do the fillings. She said that I would be waiting. So I decided to let Dr. Brown do the fillings. I was hesitant because I would rather have someone with more experience working on me. That is the purpose of scheduling an appointment with a certain doctor or dentist because that is who you want to see. I don't understand why I would have been scheduled when 2 other patients are there to see the same doctor and they have braces. So it seems they leave you with no choice but to go with the new dentist unless you want to sit for an unknown amount of time. I have been coming to this office for years. There are always new dentists there. That is great that they are given an opportunity to practice. But my preference is to see the more experienced dentist. Side note: I love the hygienist Cindy! She has been cleaning my teeth for years. That is mainly the reason I still go there. I would just rather go to an office where I can see the same dentist (with years of experience) on every visit. I think its time for me to make that move.
Thank you for your information and comment. I take all information seriously. I strive to make sure that all patients are seen in a timely manner, but when that is not the case the associate doctor, with your permission, will take care of your dental needs. I don't want you to wait because your time is very valuable. The doctors providing care are competent and caring. I also do a quality check on all procedures done. I look forward to talking to you soon by phone. Again, thank you for your consideration as we continue to strive to give you the best care possible.

My visit to Total Eye Care was the most efficient medical visit I have ever had! Every step is seamless and you don’t have to wait for anything. The staff is friendly and kind. I felt like I was getting the best care possible. Aside from the efficiency and kindness, the entire staff is very knowledgeable. I tend to ask a lot of questions because I like to understand things more fully, and the staff was patient with me and able to answer! Such a great experience.Read More …
