What recent reviews say

Most patients praise Dr. Gonzalez and staff for gentle, fast tooth extractions and calming anxious patients through painful emergencies. Many mention same-day service and thorough explanation of their condition within an hour.

Insurance and pricing are recurring pain points. Patients say staff told them Delta Dental was accepted, then arrived to demands for $99-$536 upfront with claims to file later. Several note the office manager's attitude as dismissive or rude. Financing is available, but that upfront cost barrier frustrates many.

  • friendly and patient staff

Dentists of West Columbia earns consistent praise for its approachable, patient-focused team. Reviewers single out Dr. Liens, Dr. Poole, and Dr. C by name, plus hygienist Jonathan and front desk staff Ebony for going above and beyond to ease anxiety and explain procedures clearly. One recent concern: a patient reported the office pressured her to pay out-of-pocket for a cleaning her insurance covers, contradicting her prior dentist's findings. The practice lists general dentistry and implant services; their website notes financing through Smile Generation (0% for 60 months, up to $25,000 approved).

Most patients report a welcoming, unhurried consultation process where staff listen carefully and avoid hard selling. Dr. Wood and named coordinators (Abby Willie, Jerica, JB, Jessica, Shanta) consistently receive praise for professionalism and genuine care throughout treatment. Completed implant cases are described as fast and satisfying, with excellent final results. However, at least one patient experienced multiple implant failures within a year and reported the business refused to assist despite claiming the fault was theirs, which stands as a serious red flag for warranty coverage and accountability after major investment.
