James G McGee, DDS

Dr. McGee and his staff are great. I’m so happy I found a dentist I can trust. Although I’m still terrified to go to the dentist, they make me feel calm and safe. Their office is so comforting and I love looking at all the cool pieces he has on display. Definitely keeps me distracted.

He has taken care of me and my family for over 15 years and we couldn’t be happier.

They were totally rude, missed one appointment, and in the other charged nearly $ 200 without doing any cleaning.

My favorite dentist.
Dr. McGee is a genuinely nice guy who made me feel like an old friend on my first visit. The hygienist (whose name I never got) was great, too, though she gave me the same speech hygienists always give me about how I need to floss more often (even though I floss 2 – 3 times a day in spite of the fact that it hurts and makes my gums bleed).

Never again will I waste my time with another dentist. The hygienists in this office are so friendly, so gentle, and so kind when they’re elbow deep in your mouth that you almost forget they’re elbow deep in your mouth with a fistful of sharp instruments that are being scraped along your teeth.
I thought they were on my insurance plan the first time I went, only to find out that I’d been misinformed. They were incredibly helpful and pulled out all the stops for a deep cash discount so I could afford the services out of pocket. Imagine my joy when I changed plans and found out Dr. McGee was on the new one!
I had a terrible dental experience in high school (crooked doc ended up giving me 14 cavities between 6 month appointments due to terrible bleaching techniques) and waited almost 10 years to start going back to the dentist again. Now I always make my 6 month check-​up and don’t even need to heavily dose myself on anti-​anxiety meds before walking in.

There’s nothing good/​fun about the dentist but Dr McGee makes it so much better than it would be.
First of all the location is good and their office is gorgeous with great huge window views of Austin. It’s never crazy busy. It doesn’t stink. The staff is sweet and knowledgeable.
My favorite part? They don’t make you feel like crap like most dentists who sit there and badger you about your teeth. They don’t force anything on you if you don’t want it. It’s usually quick and painless.

Beware of first time appointment and bait and switch billing. I was lured in by Unilocal reviews and made the call. Roxanne told me they were not affiliated with my Insurance plan but checked with my insurance and told me they cover 100% for routine, exam, cleaning. I went and my wife later went and were happy with the experience.
A couple weeks later we receive bills for $ 110 each for services. I phoned their office and they explained they were sorry for the misunderstanding and there was nothing they could do. I did not misunderstand, I heard Roxanne loud and clear otherwise I would have not gone. Further they insisted we pay the doctors full fee even though other patients are charged less because of the negotiated rates of their plans.
Do not believe what they tell you over the phone about coverage and check with your provider. They even admitted they do not understand what is covered until after the insurance company receives the bill. Sounds very lame and rinky dink. I have gone to dentists forever under insurance and have never encountered such ineptitude.

Dentists in my past have brought me to tears. But Dr. McGee is so sweet and caring, he has restored my faith. I have root shortening (due to some extensive orthodontic work as a kid) and was once told all of my teeth were going to fall out by the time I was 30!
Boy was that upsetting.
Dr. McGee on the other hand has calmed my fears and is so positive and reassuring each time I go to visit (which has become a twice-​a-​year routine). Come to find out, my teeth are just fine and aren’t going anywhere anytime soon.
Staff is sweet and the view of downtown from this fourth-​floor office is stunning. They even provide binoculars by the window if you want to get a better look.
This dentist office has a small-​town vibe and I never feel pressured or shuffled in and out. So happy to have found this place. I even plan on taking my young son here for his first dentist visit after Dr. McGee said he loves working with children.

I’ve found it pretty hard to find a good dentist in Austin who accepts the State’s Humana dental insurance. Dr. McGee is great, and equally important, his staff is too. The office is clean and nice. They won’t try to sell you services you don’t really need either.

I appreciate Dr. McGee for his friendliness, skill, and ethics. He’s always helped me maintain my existing fillings, caps & bridges and has never suggested drastic and expensive solutions, as previous dentists have done when I’ve opened my mouth. The staff is terrific. Their gentle, effective cleanings got me over any lingering dental phobia I had when I started there.
The last dentist I went to had an overdecorated office that offered hand massages, movies and music during treatment, aromatherapy, you name it. Prices were sky-​high, they scoffed at my dental insurance and they constantly pushed cosmetic procedures. Ugh! Thanks, Dr. McGee and staff for restoring my faith in dentists and hygienists.

Here’s a cliché: I hate going to the dentist to get my teeth cleaned. Every cleaning I’ve had thus far, I’ve left with a mouth full of blood and sore, scraped gums. However, Carole M. at Dr. McGee’s office gave me the best cleaning I’ve ever had! She was so gentle and friendly, I think I might just be looking forward to getting my teeth cleaned again.
Dr. McGee had an excellent bedside manner, and was really good at explaining everything he was doing to my teeth, and why. Also, his office has a great view of downtown you can enjoy while you’re in the waiting room. Another touch I liked was the grape scented gloves they use. I really hate the smell of latex gloves, not to mention the taste they leave in your mouth, so that was a nice little touch.
I would highly recommend Dr. McGee and his staff for all your dental needs.

Best dentist I’ve ever had. They not only make me comfortable with their genuine friendliness, but they treat you like a person and not just a number. It’s hard to put into words just how comforting it is to have a dentist that I honestly don’t fear visiting. They always go the extra mile and they have earned a life long patient.

They say it’s best for you to face your fears. Well, the fear of the dentist is one of the biggest around, and I know I’m not the only one who has it. Fear of being poked, prodded, scraped and drilled in your mouth. Fear that my mouth has suddenly shrunk and there is no longer room for my wisdom teeth (which have been in place for a good 13 years now). Fear that you will be put under and taken advantage of (thanks, Seinfeld, for that vision!)
Well, I tell you today that I am not afraid when I go to Dr. McGee’s office. Yesterday was my first visit, and I won’t need to see him for another 6 months. The staff is all very kind and complementary, giving simple hints on how to keep the chompers in good working order. Dr. McGee himself was very nice, introducing himself to me not just when he was coming in to poke at the teeth but during the cleaning. The office was clean and tidy, they seem to be good with both kids and persnickety adults, and the view from their waiting room can’t be beat.
Not since my dentist in Houston have I been so orally satisfied. I recommend you make an appointment today.
