Chapman Richard DDS

First off… who likes to go to the Dentist?!! Not many people… I for one have always been a little leery of Dental Offices, mainly anticipating THE SHOT! … At Dr. Richard Chapman’s office I feel at ease and my worries go away. When it came to getting the shot my thought was… is he doing it… I don’t feel anything… I open my eyes and sure enough he was giving me a painlessssss shot! I didn’t even feel the initial pinch. How could this be?! I have had my share of Dental shots and alllllll have been horrible. So besides the NOT dreadful shot… In the past my Dentists weren’t very personable… they didn’t sit in the room and ask how my life has been or if I had any dental questions before. Dr. Richard Chapman remembered things I told him 6 months ago and followed up on my life events lol… really out of all his patients he finds the time to remember little things?! Amazing! I so appreciated him taking the time to ask me how school was going for me and how my parents were, (because I had talked about my parents and that I was in school full time). He was so caring and asked me if I was experiencing any pain throughout the procedure… I remember one time I was in such pain as a little kid getting dental work done and I expressed the pain to my Dentist at the time and he said oh your ok… Yup the joys of creepy dental experiences! The Dental Cleaning I received was so much fun! I learned so much while I got the cleaning. My previous cleanings elsewhere was quick and full of pain and the noises from scraping tarter was unnerving, I never understood the importance of flossing and using mouth wash and how to properly hold my tooth brush until I saw Tracy (one of their R.D.H.‘s). Tracy was very personable and full of character. Tracy also knew her stuff, I had so many questions regarding my gums and brushing my tongue and keeping my breath fresh and maintaining a healthy oral cavity and what I can do about whitening my teeth. I have already sent them a bunch of referrals and will continue to! I definitely recommend Dr. Richard Chapman’s Dental Office to anyone that needs a great Dental experience! :)

The worst dental experience of my life!!! BEWARE!!!
I had been with Dr. Chapman for a number of years– he had taken pretty decent care of my teeth. He even worked with me while I was going through a difficult financial time. During this time I looked over many of the issues I had with his back office staff because I had such a positive experience with him. Until last week, I had recently changed employers and upgraded my dental insurance to stay with him– I had an issue that would require pretty extensive treatment.
I was told I would need a root canal the cost evaluated and payment arrangements made, upon further inspection– I required an extraction due to infection! Pretty scary! The price to restore my teeth was going to be triple what we had previously thought. No problem I thought, I can make payments. Arrangements were made and I went on my way until I called to reschedule my followup only to discover the payment arrangements had been retracted and full 2K + would be due before my dental work could be completed.
All of this would have been fine IF I had been aware of this on the front end, to discover this after my tooth was out AND a contract had been signed and agreed to was disappointing!!!
Good Dentist VERY BAD BUSINESS!!! :(BEWARE!!!
