My visit with Dr Sam and all the staff at Aspen dental has been absolutely amazing. I have been putting off going to the dentist as I knew I had a number of issues and was feeling a little embarrassed. They all made me feel extremely comfortable and worked with me on putting together a plan of action that allowed me to address all the issues. Today I feel so much better with no pain and feeling confident to smile with a new and brighter smile. Thank you 🙏
Excellent experience
Great experience! I've had difficulty finding local dental care post retirement. Even when offices advertise they accept insurances, when I would call to make an appointment, it was a different story. Aspen dental has a very affordable savings program that reduces costs considerably. Be cautious when reading reviews prior to your visit. Human nature is to post negative comments. And, the review may not reflect your local office. It was very clear the staff at Horseheads Aspen Dental are taking care to provide a positive experience for their patients. Now let's mention the staff. Both on the phone and in person, every interaction was pleasant. I had trouble finding their office so I called enroute and the receptionist happily stayed on the phone until I parked. One thought may be to explain where the office is located prior to the initial visit. I didn't get the receptionist's name. She had long dark hair. Robin and Heather did my xrays. Both were very sweet and worked well together. Heather is newer and took great care on obtaining my images with the guidance of Robin. Lauren did my exam and explained everything clearly. She was very professional even taking time to explain what she was doing as she charted. Dr. Kar also was very professional and kind. And, finally McKenzie did a great job explaining next steps in my care and making sure my next appointment fit my needs. So, take those negative comments with a grain of salt! Spend 39 dollars for your initial visit and let the staff make their own impression! Good job Aspen Dental in Horseheads👏👏
