Can not recommend. I was on time for my appointment but it was almost an hour before I was seen by the dentist. My appointment was for Botox injections for TMJ, something that only takes 5 minutes. My appointment was at 2pm and I was left sitting in the dentist chair and wasn’t seen by Dr. Tatum until 2:58pm. I know because I looked at my watch. The only reason I didn't get up and leave was because every so often some assistant would come and tell me it wouldn't be much longer, so I waited. While I was waiting I could hear the office manager complaining to the receptionist about a patient and he called the patient stupid. They also kept trying to push me to get treatments I did not want or need. On top of that, I had to put up with microaggressions from Dr. Tatum. I didn’t say anything at the time because I was in so much pain from the TMJ and just wanted to get the appointment over with, but what she said to me was very inappropriate.
Had a 3 o’clock appointment, and basically just sat there. Nobody really talking to me, the dentist never even came into the room to say thank you for waiting. The dental assistant was completely rude when I quedyimm on med where the dentist was, walked out at 3:26.
You guy’s were awesome! My experience was very comforting and easy. Everything was explain clearly and throughly.
Five star experience. I was visiting from out of town and needed a quick appointment and the staff was so amazing and so accommodating! Tremendous service and expertise!! Highly recommend!
I can’t say enough about Tatum Dentristy! What an incredibly talented, professional and caring team of people. Dr Tatum is by far the best in her field.
