Kevin B. Terrell, DDS, PC

If you’ve ever wondered how a dental exam at a spa would feel, visit Dr. Terrell. Professional, friendly and funny, he will make your exam and cleaning both relaxing and enjoyable.

Dr. Terrell is such a great dentist. For those of us out in the world who hate going to the dentist… Dr. Terrell will use his sense of humor to put you at ease. He is very knowledgeable on all the last and greatest in dental care and I highly recommend using him as your dentist…

Great dentist! Dr. Terrell is very friendly and hands on with his patients. The whole office is a great atmosphere with massage chairs, eye masks and a friendly staff.

Dr. Terrell is the dentist I was always looking for. I’ve been going to him for several years, he’s always on time, does a great job with my cleanings, and is just a great guy all around. Instead of spending money on a receptionist and other unnecessary expenses, he invests in the latest equipment and technology and seems to keep his practice at a level that allows him to spend quality time with his patients. Running a practice is a balancing act, and many go out of business because they grow too large or because they don’t concentrate on what’s important. Kudos to Kevin for striking that balance!

It is no surprise to me that Dr. Terrell only has 5 reviews total and not a single positive one in the past year. Started going to Dr. Terrell in 2013 primarily out of convenience in vicinity to my office. Had a few cavities, my own fault obviously, and routine cleanings. I will own up that I was late to two of my appointments, by maybe 5 minutes. However, the last appointment I had with Dr. Terrell he had me waiting for over 20 – 25 minutes as I was the first appointment of the day. He proceeded to perform my routine cleaning in literally 10 minutes. I felt like I was rushed out of the office just so he didn’t back up other appointments, although every time I’ve been in there’s no receptionist at the front and the office was vacant. Dr. Terrell and his assistant are the only ones I’ve ever spoken to on the phone or seen in the office. A highly successful practice can afford a full time receptionist to properly book and maintain clients well being. Being the most unprofessional dental environment I’ve ever wasted my money on, I called today intending to get a copy of my records to send to my new dentist. Dr. Terrell answers the phone, because they clearly don’t have a receptionist, and tells me he’s «swamped» and can’t get them to me until Friday. I asked if there was any way I could get them today, then the attitude just escalated from there. Now he tells me Texas law requires me to sign a release form in order to get them in which he also has to approve. I pointed out that he failed to mention this process when he initially told me he could send records Friday. He willfully admitted that he was only now requiring me to go the release form route since it was a last minute request. I can’t help that he is offended I’m switching dentists but if he and his one staff member treated patients with care and respect I would honestly not be switching. The no receptionist and subletting office space with a medspa should have been red flag enough for me, but at least he won’t get any more of my money. A legal route will now be sought in order to obtain records I’m already entitled to.
This is my second negative review in a month of medical «professionals» that don’t prioritize their patients. I’m not one for social media but if these reviews help one person deter from being mistreated then it’s well worth me looking like a stubborn old hag.

Great dentist, professional, fast, personal, not trying to give you needless dental work.

After hearing about how great this dental office is and wanting to switch from my last dentist, I called Dr. Terrell’s office several times and left messages. I also sent an email. Never got a response. I assume they have more work than they can handle. If that’s the case, why not say that on the website? Instead, you’re letting people waste their time. Unprofessional.
My review is only based on the lack of response — not any work performed.

After trying all the «chain» dentist offices, I decided to look for a small, more honest operation.
Dr. Terrell totally fits the bill. He actually did my cleaning himself (rather than just let a hygienist do it.)
I’m always confident that he isn’t trying to «trick» me into procedures that I don’t need just to make an extra buck.
He has also been very punctual for all my appointments. Nothing irritates me more than arriving to an appointment five 5 – 10 minutes early only to sit in the waiting room for 30 – 45 minutes because they are behind schedule. This has never happened with Dr. Terrell.
Overall best dentist experience i have ever had!

I will start this off by saying that I’m a wimp when it comes to my semi-​annual cleaning. It’s always been something that I’ve dreaded, but, eventually, my vanity wins out and I make an appointment.
I went to Dr. Terrell for the first time yesterday, and the experience was fantastic. Because of my aforementioned wimpiness, I love anything that makes the experience more relaxing. The chilled eye mask and massaging chair may seem like small details, but they really make a huge difference in my comfort levels.
Dr. Terrell himself is excellent; unlike most dentists I’ve been to, he did the cleaning himself, and his friendly, down-​to-​earth personality made me feel at ease during the entire process.
Add to that the free, easy parking and gorgeous, modern office, and I couldn’t ask for anything else.

What an awesome chair side manner! I don’t think I have ever experienced a more caring, gentle, thorough dentist as Dr Terrell. The beautiful state of the art office is impressive but I care much more about the doctor’s skill and talent. If you are dental phobic or just want a great experience, Dr Kevin Terrell is the way to go. He takes insurance and gives cash discounts as well. I’m looking forward to the next visit which is huge when you realize we are talking about dentistry.

I’m going to save you fellow Unilocalers some time: I don’t like trips to the dentist. I hated the trips as a child-​WE ALL DID! No child’s list to Santa has ever included more fillings…
Now I will say that I was NOT offered a beer in Dr. Terrell’s office (I had my own patients later that day). To tell you the truth I had never really thought about that being a part of my visit. That being said, everything else was 1000% of what I expected it to be.
Location is right on Oak Lawn (inside deNovo Medical Group, which does a lot of cosmetic procedures, etc) parking is fine, and scheduling was cake. I also loved that I just walked right in without having to suffer through some awkward waiting room experience.
The place is impeccable, he’s got cutting edge equipment (including a chair that gently massaged my back while he was giving me the cleaning), and he even placed a chilled eye mask over my eyes while he was working. I swear to everything that is Holy I almost dozed off, which is a far cry from the cold-​sweat shakes I remembered from past dentist nightmares. He was also really good about explaining what he was doing while he was doing it, as well as explaining what we would be getting into in the future and in what order it would get done, much like a dental gameplan.
So, to get your own gameplan go see Dr. Terrell. Just remember that it’s BYOB.
