Meadows Dental Group

Beware! Beware! Beware! Dr. Peppler has TWICE prescribed medication I am allergic to (says so in my chart). They are very expensive and they made me pay $ 960 in DECEMBER 2015 and I have yet to receive that mouthguard in FEBRUARY 2016. They put a crown in my tooth that immediately became infected. It was the worst pain I’ve experienced since my herniated discs. They don’t pay attention to what they’re doing here. If you’re not careful, Dr. Peppler just may kill you with the wrong meds.

I have been a patient at Meadows Dental Group for over 10 years and have nothing but good things to say about them. I appreciate that I never have to wait to get in for my appointment; they run a tight ship. Laura, my hygienist is outstanding. I see Dr O’Leary for my dentist and the thing that I appreciate most about him is that he is conservative and collaborative in my care. He’s never suggested extra work just to do the work and always explains things to me in a good level of detail for me to make a decision. And. .. and this is an important and. .. these guys are masters at administering anesthetic; I don’t know what they do but it’s never been a painful experience and considering how much I despise dental work that really makes me feel better!

This place was terrible! I went to this Dental Group and called before my appointment and asked if they took my insurance. The lady, who does billing, told me that they accepted my insurance. Furthermore, she called my insurance the day before my appointment and was notified by my insurance that I was not in network. When I arrived at my appointment, no one told me that my insurance did not cover the visit. This is terrible customer service because I got a bill several weeks later for $ 400. This is where it gets interesting. This dentist’s office gives a $ 100 gift cards for new customers (as a promotion). The lady who does the billing, told me that my insurance will not cover my visit and assured me that it was my fault for not knowing. Then I talked to the dentist, who told me that I was given a $ 100 visa card, and can use that money towards my bill. This company is cheap and does not want to work with insurance companies, so they give you a $ 100 promotion, to use towards your bill. The dentist did not care, and told me that I needed to pay the bill. I have had my insurance for over 9 years, and I get 2 free cleanings every year. This is the first time I had to pay for a cleaning, because they did not want to tell me that my insurance did not cover the visit. Furthermore, the dentist said, «we don’t consider ourselves an in network or out of network company.» Which means they don’t want to work with insurance companies, because in the end they make all the money. Please do not go see these people they did not care or help me out for their mistake. This company does not advertise on their website that they do not take Blue Cross and Blue Shield insurance, or that they do not consider themselves as a «in network or out of network company.» This dentist should know, that customers ask the question, «are you in my inssurance’s network?» For a company to not tell the customer whether they take insurance or not, is shady, and manipulative. The service here is terrible and I will never recommended this company to anyone.

I cannot say enough good things about this place! Growing up I absolutely dreaded going to the dentist. I haven’t been to the dentist for about three years before today. From the moment I stepped in the door, I was greeted warmly and felt welcome! I saw Dr. O’Leary, who explained a lot of details about my X-​rays that I never even knew about my teeth! I felt so much better after talking to him. I then had my teeth cleaned by Melissa– it was the least stressful cleaning I’ve ever had! She is an absolute gem.
In short, this office is beautiful, professional, and extremely friendly. I will definitely use them as my dentist!

I have been a patient of Dr. O’Leary for over 10 years. I also love Melissa and Roni so much!!! They are the Best! Dr. O’Leary should be grateful for his wonderful staff. I am writing this review because I had to say goodbye to Melissa at my last appointment.
About a year ago I had a crown put on. I went back to see Dr. O’Leary because my bite wasn’t in alignment. Short version of a long story… Dr. O’Leary used the drill to «fix» the problem on the wrong side of my mouth.
I am terrified of dentists. I was unable to say anything until he was done. I sat up and began to cry. I just wanted to get out of there.
Not once did he apologize to me. I was even sent a bill. I called the office and ask that they check with the doctor to make sure he truly wanted to charge me.
I continued to go back to get cleanings with Melissa. I also saw Roni and she was able to correct my bite. I would not get x-​Rays so I did not see Dr. O’Leary.
Unfortunately, I heard an advertisement for Meadows Dental on the radio and Dr. O’Leary was saying you won’t have any «Horror Stories» going to see him. I feel like drilling on the wrong side of my mouth is certainly a horror story.
The only reason I returned in the past year or so was because I adore Melissa. It was difficult to leave her because of my fear of dentists. I trust her, but I cannot go back after hearing him on the radio. I hope Dr. O’Leary realizes what a great staff he has.
The reason I gave one star is so this review would be seen.

Broke a tooth while traveling on vacation to Colorado. Fortunately I was able to get in to see the dentist here today! Office staff were friendly, courteous and accommodating. The dental staff were as well. Very professional and concerned for my wellbeing. So grateful for the quick fix with no pain! Thanks for saving my visit with my family!

Never in my life have I been able to say this. but I actually had a very very pleasent visit at the dentist today! It was my first time at meadows dental and I was scared out of my mind.
Their website was reassuring but I was still terrified. «There’s no way they can deal with me, I am the biggest baby at the dentist!» Or «this is just going to be like allll the other tereible visits I’ve had)» were just two of the many thoughts racing through my mind.
Angel was the person I dealt with most and I’ve never met someone with a more suiting name. She kept me calm and spent a lot of time talking to me about my fears of the dentist office before she ever even looked in my mouth. AND she and the dentist (I think it was dr. Peppler, can’t remember for sure) agreed this was a strict ‘no poking allowed’ visit. And they completely stuck by their words. It was incredible!
I will absolutely stick with this place until the end. If you are terrified of the dentist I highly suggest this place. I even cried on the first visit and will be back. (I cried out of anxiety when i first got to the chair not pain). I can’t believe I actually enjoyed a dentist visit! Thank you meadows dental for helping my teeth and my irrational fear!

Wait. Not every dentist has TVs on the ceiling to watch while you get your work done? Until I moved away, I never realized how much I valued my hometown dentist. Meadows Dental Group makes getting those teeth cleanings, fillings, X-​rays and more a comfy, clean and breezy process.
I’ve been seen by both Dr. O’Leary and Peppler and both are very pleasant. Melissa the hygienist is also very nice and professional. Even after moving away for college, I’ll still use them as a second opinion when I need one for serious insight.
But let me go back to my first point. There are TVs on the CEILING. What does that mean? Well, while they’re busy poking around your mouth, you can focus on watching your favorite TV show instead and even listen along with the headphones they give you (yes, you get the remote control too). Seriously, you might not think this is necessary but trust me, going to the dentist is so much better when you know you’re not going to miss the Today Show.

I love Melissa (our hygienist), nicest person ever! My husband and I have been going there since 2001.Dr. O’Leary is very nice and always has listened to me when I insist on an extra shot for my dental work. Highly recommend them.

I have been a patient here for about 10 years. Melissa, Dr O’Leary and the rest of the staff have treated our entire family. They are always so friendly and very professional. I can not recommend them enough.
