Green Apple Dental

I've been searching for a new dentist as I left my one I've been going to for the past 10 years. I must say, the responses to some of the negative reviews are very unprofessional, and based on seeing these, I will most definitely not be going to this place. The comment that bothered me the most is them telling a customer to "Enjoy the mug" as a smart-alec comment to seal the deal.

You should seriously reconsider responding to all of the negative reviews and instead work with the clients. If you have a negative review and you are a dentist, you most likely did something wrong - a dentist should please everybody and nobody should have a bad experience.

The people that complain about Green Apple are the kind of people who need to whine and moan about anything different than what they're used to. This place is awesome.

I cannot stand going to the dentist. I loathe it! I have a lot of anxiety issues, and going to the dentist is like going to my own funeralnaked. First of all, when you see where it's located, you're like, great, it's downtownI'll have to deal with parking, etc. But, they have a nice parking garage, free parking, and an indoor entrance so you don't even have to go out to the street to get it.

Green Apple IS like a spaI felt calm, pampered, and relaxed. However, I also felt like I was in extremely capable hands. Dr. Russ (shoot I hope that's his name) was very professional and knew his stuff. I have a lot of "teeth issues" and he did not overreact and try to scare me with big words and dollar signs. I was told what needed immediate attention and what could wait. I felt no pressure at all.

I can't tell you how refreshing it was to visit an office that takes a different approach to the dental profession. They really make the effort to provide a more pleasant and calming atmosphere, which makes all the difference. The staff is all very friendly and polite. No one barks names or orders at the patients sitting in the waiting room.

Dr. Russ even called to check up on me later that day! I have never had that happen before!

This office is worth every penny, especially for those that fear going to the dentist.

I'm actually (almost) looking forward to going back and having my work done!

We found out about the office b/c of our friends. Just in time as I needed a check up my tooth was having pain. I did need some work but the good news was that they easily scheduled me and the price wasn't too bad considering dental work is not coverd by insurance.I told my coworkers about this place. good deal.

i came back again for my second appointment. still, they were really good to me and still, can't complain about anything besides having to go to a dentist to fix my teeth. one huge positive is that i like how they call me to check up on my status if i feel ok. another HUGE good thing is that this place was about $300 cheaper than when i had the same work done 2 years ago. so this office is on my save list.

I saw this new office being built on my way home everyday on my work drive into town. Easy to get to for me and my fiancee so we went to try it out. I more...

Green Apple Dental is probably the most unprofessional dentists office that I've ever gone to. They seem to spend much more on marketing than anything else. There is nothing "green" about this doctor's practice. Pro's: nice waiting room. Cons: payment required when you make your appointment!, only one working x-ray machine that was very old & did only panoramic views that expose you to higher radiation & are very expensive, not digital x-rays, dental tech was allowed to give me novacaine injections (not even sure this is legal!), Dr. Kang told me I would need extensive dental surgery & said he could do it himself (most dentists would refer you to a specialist), no follow ups. I would never go to them again. Although I see their signs on posters & now a billboard around townthe focus of this doctor's practice is obviously money, not patient care. But I did get a nice green apple mug for all the money I spent.

Let me preface my reviewI ABHOR the dentist, as far as I am concerned this is a profession of sadists. Consequently I approach the dentist, the office and the entire dental experience with suspicion and derision.

That said, I must confess Green Apple Dental is not your typical dental office. The atmosphere was soothing (although I had sincere trepidation when I noted the office looked like a spa more than a dental clinic, "what unspeakable horrors were they hiding with the aromatherapy diffusers and paraffin wax treatments?") and the dentist - Dr. Bird was extremely patient with my surly demeanor and rather icy veneer. By the end of my initial visit, the bulk of my anxiety abated and I found myself laughing at his humor (unbelievable). He was extremely professional and took extra time to answer my questions. At check-out I anticipated an itemized bill carefully outlining all of the 'extras' that my insurance would not cover, thus leaving a gaping cavity in my purse. This was not the case (although they may bill you later I don't know this was my first visit but I am hopeful there are no financial demands to come in the mail). Additionally, the bite guard I elected to purchase was quite reasonable even with only partial coverage by my insurance). It is also worth noting my appointment was on a Saturday morning and there are evening appointments available as well. You can imagine this came as a surprise given my previous experience with dental offices was a four-day business week and one struggled to coordinate an appointment months in advance, just to find the office smelled like burnt enamel and dental fixative.

Thus it is with some reservation that I say this, but I believe this may be the one dental oasis on the planet where your dental delusions and hopes come true: it smells of lavender instead of fluoride, the atmosphere is calming instead of institutional green, the dentist and staff are young, fresh, energetic, dewy-eyed professionals, instead

I hate to say this but unfortunately Green apple Dental is more holistic in name than in actual fact. Let's face it being Green is a great marketing tool. It is up to the consumer to make it mean something more than marketing.

Examples: They do not have Digital x ray equipment so you get more radiation exposure than necessary. They do place Amalgam fillings, that is the old Mercury based fillings and so Mercury could be in the air. They have the minimal standard of care to protect you (and themselves) from the removal of Mercury fillings although they will remove them. Their standard of care is standard there is nothing individual, unique or holistic about it.

Not everyone should be doing implants, I have three and you really should go to a specialist if you need one.

They do not provide profiles of the many dentists in their office so you know something about the education, experience of the dentist you will see.

They do seem nice and pleasant enough.

I really like going to Green Apple. My coworker referred me and from the moment I came to the office, I felt at ease and comfortable. Dr. Kang is well knowledged and very friendly. He is constantly making you aware of what he is doing and makes you feel at ease with any procedure. Dr. Kang and his staff are very attentive and provide excellent customer service. They offer tea, water, aroma therapy, hot towels, iPods with a variety of different music. The office is not the white, cold dentist office that I was used to, it was inviting and comfortable. For any dental procedure, there may be some pain associated (such as the injection to numb the area), but Dr. Kang does his best to prevent such pain. The procedures go smoothly and are always done in a timely fashion. There is some cost associated, especially if your dental insurance is not that great (like mine), but it seems to be affordable and they work with you on scheduling your payments. I really find this office to be truly remarkable-it is the first dental office I have ever felt at ease going to. I would advise anyone who needs dental work to go see Dr. Kang and his staff fro a very pleasant experience!

I had my crown replaced by the dentist at Green Apple Dental. My experience was 110 times more enjoyable than the visit to the other dentist who put in the crown. Not trying to sell me work that I didn't need. He just did what I asked and needed. I have found my permanent dentist for future dental needs. It is a visit that cannot be described but must be experienced.
