Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

First experience with extraction
I was recommended by an employee. My first visit he was very thorough he went over everything that needed to be done and gave his opinion on what I needed done. My second visit I was so scared because I have never had any dental work done before and his team calmed me down. I had 2 extractions and went with IV sedation which is the best way to go (kinda expensive) but way worth it. I had No pain whatsoever that night he called and checked up on me to make sure I had no problems and proceeded to tell me if I had any problems to call him on his personal cell phone!! I used him again 2 weeks later Dr. Tate will be my family Dentist for now on!! His staff is very nice and caring

The fact that you pay first and not after your procedure is completed. I have never experienced this before. The one lady kind of abrupt and I could see how some would be made to feel uncomfortable. That is unfortunate because the rest of the staff and doctor were good. One thing I can say is that abrupt or what ever you want to call it will prevent a 5 star review.

I have had bad experiences in the past so I was terrified to see a new doctor to have two teeth pulled. The entire staff understood and treated me with respect. Dr. Tate is gentle and caring. I had no pain afterwards at all. I actually looked forward to my follow.up visit. I highly recommend Dr. Gregory Tate. Faye Crawford. July 2022.

Doctor Tate was new to me and in the time I was visiting his office I saw that his staff was very wonderful, and kind. They all like what they do and he truly takes time to make sure every patient is taken care of, not to mention the wait time is pretty minimal.

I had never had a sedation tooth extraction, but to have 3 at once was a little unnerving. Dr Tate started my IV and I never felt a thing, he was so good. The last thing I remember was him laying my hand over on my lap and telling me I could bend my arm if needed, which I don't guess I did, I don't remember anything else until he was through and telling me to step down from the chair. Sedation is definitely the way to go.

Everything from my first visit, to the extraction of my wisdom tooth and the follow-up visit was comfortable and of the highest quality. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and Dr. Tate is very thorough, knowledgeable, and skilled..He took plenty of time to answer my questions. I never experienced any pain at all after my procedure. Dr. Tate contacted me the day after my surgery to see if everything was going well, and to make sure I had their contact info if I needed them over the weekend. I highly recommend Dr. Tate!

Dr. Tate provided excellent care in extracting an upper tooth. From the first consultation, the day of surgery, to my follow up appointment. I was pleasantly surprised after oral surgery to experience no pain whatsoever. He personally called later in the day to check on me and said to not hesitate to call him if I had any problems over the weekend. I am very pleased with him and would recommend him to anyone needing oral surgery.

I was in and out and no pain. They get you in feeling comfortable and next thing you know you are done. Easy to talk to. Know what that are doing for sure.
