Miranda P. on feeling comfortable at the dentist office

My experience with LakeCrest has been so awesome that it doesn't bother me to drive from an hour away because Dr. Patten is a great dentist, and he makes me feel comfortable, and I love his office staff, and the ladies that come into the room are awesome. The dental assistants are all awesome. Everybody's so friendly and so happy, and they keep blankets in there, and I love that because I'm always cold. They want to make us feel comfortable, and that's important to me at a dentist's office. I have had fillings myself, a cleaning, and a crown put on. And my son has had, he just had a checkup. He didn't have to have anything done, and he was good, so ... We both have anxiety with dentists, but I do mostly because I have constant dental problems. He doesn't, but I do. Yeah. So it's important to me that I'm with somebody that makes me feel comfortable.

Iva M. on feeling comfortable at Lakecrest Dental

I like coming to Dr. Patten because everyone is so wonderful. They're kind. From the time you step in the door, you're their number one priority, and you can feel that and you see it.

They made me relax, I mean, to the point, if I came through the door, I freeze up. The back of my neck gets tense, and when I first came here, it did the same reaction, you know, because I didn't know what to expect. But no sooner than I came through the door, I was greeted really kindly. They're just awesome, but yeah, I'd grab onto the dentist chairs and be squeezing and I was horrible. Now.

With them. Now, sure, if I had to go somewhere else, if they kick me out, because I'm not leaving, I'd be back to ... but now they really made me relax, and that was one great thing for me, is how relaxed they made me feel, and how confident. You know, that they, "Okay, they really are going to take care of me. They care about me, my mouth, my concerns."

I would probably pull my friend to the side and just go crazy telling her about Dr. Patten's office and the staff and everyone. And I have done that, I mean I've passed out cards. Anybody I could tell, I'd tell about it. And a lot of my friends are in my situation, you know, we're senior citizens and ... so yeah, they're great. I sing their praises every time I get a chance. Every time.

Carrie J. on being comfortable at Lakecrest Dental

I've always had a fear of dentists. I don't know that that's warranted. I don't know that I've had enough bad experiences to warrant that. However, I think it's just ingrained in us that we know when we go to the dentist, there's going to be pain involved, and we're very nervous about it. My boys have had all very good experiences, so they were never very concerned about it. I never worried about them. Of course, when they step through the door here, because everyone here in the staff knows them by name, they automatically feel comfortable.

I have had nothing but good experiences here. I have never walked out of here thinking to myself, "I can't ever come back. This was a horrible experience." We are here frequently because we've gone in between a lot of times without dental care or dental insurance, so yeah, I spend a lot of time here. Maybe that's why they know us so well, but it's always a pleasant experience.

The staff here, as I said, from the very first day we walked in, we were just treated like family. They sat with me and helped us fill out the paperwork, which is quite lengthy, because we had not been here before. And every visit after, when we walk through the door, they don't have to look at who is standing in front of them, they know that it's us. They know us all by name.

It's just a great feeling to walk in here and know that they're on our side. They're not just here for the money. They care about everyone that walks through the door. And that means a lot to us.

Brad G. on his experience at Lakecrest dental after not going to the dentist in a long time

It had been awhile since my last dental visit because I don't do well with dentists, and I knew Dr. Patten from several years back, and decided I better go and have just a routine checkup. From the minute I entered the door, the receptionist greeted me, made me feel comfortable. Everybody was very nice and made me feel real relaxed, and that's really why I'm back today, is because everything was really good, and Dr. Patten was very professional. He took a look at my teeth and told me what the condition was.

I hadn't been for quite a while, so he put me at ease knowing that things were still good with my teeth, I just needed some good cleaning done. I would definitely say that they're just easy to get along with. They're very friendly. The exam rooms were very clean. Never felt like I was rushed at all. It was just a very thorough exam, and everyone was just really nice.

When I came in, I wouldn't open my mouth. My teeth were horrible, horrible. I'm a person that likes to smile, so I had stopped smiling. It was just horrible.

He wasn't just quick to say, "Let's just rip them all out. You need everything." He worked and he says, "No, no, no, keep some of your natural teeth, and that will help with your partials and everything."

They offered me payment plans. They also offered me credit packages that you could apply for. They did that, and I didn't realize that they had insurance out there that you could purchase like that. I didn't go to the dentist.

He's like, "Oh, don't worry about it. Come on in and we will work with you," and Stephanie was just great. Again, she sat down and she said, "Now, after all your tests, this is what we want to do for you, but we understand you have limited finances." She went though each procedure. She told me the ones that we could eliminate and the doctor could work around it or find another way to go, something that could fit into my budget, and I really love that.

When I left here after my first visit, I literally cried when I got to my car, because no one had ever offered me to really, really help me. I'm back to my old self, smiling more, much more.

I was wearing a mask, those surgical masks that you can put on your face. I went into a store with that on because I hated the way my mouth looked. This lady, she looked up and saw me. She jumped back and she's like, "Do you have some kind of disease?" I'm like, "Yeah, it's called ugly teeth," so then after everything was done, of course, I had to go back. I said, "You remember me? The one who jumped back on me? But look at me now, darling."

Bud A Talks about his experience getting work done at Lakecrest

Well, actually I have... It's on my right upper side. That's been a problem area for me. It came to the point where I was gonna lose the teeth if I didn't have some work done. So, I ended up having to have a root canal and crowns, and it's actually towards the front of my mouth, which would've left a big gaping hole if I wouldn't have had some work done, so... Then I also have, towards the back of my mouth... We've had work done there as well. Well, yeah, it started to get that way.

I never got into real unbearable pain, because luckily I came to LakeCrest and they were able to address it. Get to what the problem was and help resolve it before it got too far. It's not that bad. I'm like anybody. You don't like to have your, you know, teeth worked on, but they have the ability to give you... You ask, you know, to relax, and just the whole atmosphere keeping you relaxed, and checking in on how you're doing and how you're feeling. It was just the whole environment just kept me relaxed the entire time. So, Dr. Patten had given me the injections, and once that was done it was pretty pain-free after that.

Carrie J Talks about what it is like coming to Lakecrest

We've just always felt like family. From the first time I brought my sons in here, they've known our name as soon as we walk in the door, and it's just always been that way. You know, we have been several other places before, and we have not had a great experience with the one just prior. And when I found LakeCrest and we started coming here, and just instantly the minute we came in, we just felt like home. It felt like we had been coming here for a long time.

I think the one thing that makes it, for me, just the greatest experience is just that they do you know who we are. We aren't just patients who walk through the door. They know all about us. When my boys were younger and we started coming here, they knew where they went to school, what they were involved in. And it was just always more like coming in and talking to friends. So, to me, that's always been the best.
