What recent reviews say

Many patients praise staff kindness and Dr. Spicer's attentive approach, especially those with dental anxiety. Several cite friendliness and clear explanations during visits.

However, a consistent pattern emerges: reviewers report being diagnosed with expensive treatments (deep cleanings, crowns) that other dentists deemed unnecessary, often backed by AI software the business uses. Complaints also touch on billing disputes, disorganization, and a filling that failed within a week.

Praised for
  • friendly and professional staff
  • Dr. Spicer's compassionate care
  • comfortable experience for anxious patients
  • clear communication and explanation
Watch-outs
  • overpriced or unnecessary treatments
  • questionable AI-driven diagnostics
  • filling durability issues
  • billing and collection problems
  • disorganized office operations

Best for: Patients with dental anxiety seeking a calm, encouraging environment.
Think twice if: Multiple reviewers report being advised expensive treatments (crowns, deep cleanings) that other dentists did not confirm; ask for a second opinion before committing.

Carolinas Center for Oral & Facial Surgery

Patients consistently report feeling genuinely comfortable here, from first consultation through recovery. Staff like Angelica, Kayla, and the named doctors (particularly Dr. Wonder and Dr. Matthew) combine technical skill with real attentiveness-one nervous patient called the doctor her "new hero" and another felt they healed faster than from previous extractions elsewhere. Wisdom teeth removal, tooth extractions, and surgical assessments come up repeatedly in praise. The team manages anxiety well, works efficiently without rushing, and follows up on patients postop. Even those initially wary of dental procedures describe walking out surprised by how smooth it went.

Reviewers consistently report feeling heard and informed. Dr. Pham and Dr. Van Hook explain diagnoses and options without rushing, and staff members are described as warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in patient comfort. The center maintains high standards of cleanliness and professionalism across all interactions, from front desk to surgical care. Wisdom tooth extraction and oral surgery are the most frequently praised services. Patients with accessibility needs or hearing challenges note they were never made to feel rushed or belittled. Follow-up care is thorough, and the surgical facility operates with AAAHC accreditation standards.
