Dr. Deborah A Ashcraft, - Reviews

I am leaving my children's visit today. I have six children that comes to this dentist. I keep their appointments two children at a time so I would have to make so many trips from Augusta to South Carolina. I have bragged on how good this dentist has been to many people. And those I have brag to have bring their children here. But I think this was very premature of me to give so many good ratings to other about this dentist. Four of my children have appointments coming up and the ones I took today I got treatment mixed up. So being that I feed my children thinking they were only here for a cleaning now they want me to bring them in separately. Mind you these two children have had five different treatment appointments in the past three months and I never made this mix up until today. Because my other children's appointment is right around the corner. I am looking for another dentist that will accommodate our needs and I will be going to the medical board. The thing that got me also, I was very honest about my mistake. Also, I apologise several times because I know.it mess up their schedule. But was that taken into consideration...No. So thank you for your service but you have lost six patients.

My kids love Dr. Ashcraft & her staff!! The office is very clean & smells soo nice every time we go!

I brought my daughter who was your patient for 8 years to an adult dentist today, as she's too old to see you according to your secretary, the dentist showed us two teeth that have been filled that had NOTHING wrong with them and now I have to pay for your mistakes. Treat your patients like you do your livestock!!!

I didn't like the wait time. I sure don't miss it. The wait time to get called back made me hate going there. I didn't love being there, I didn't hate being there either. The wait time is ridiculous. I Left her office 3-4 years ago. Oh yeah be ready for her to say you have a cavity at each appointment. It's no way soneone can have a cavity at each appointment especially if they took care of their teeth. I pray she isn't a fraud but I supposedly had a cavity at just about each appointment.

She refused to let me back with my 4 year old. Tried to restrain my kids for first visit and cleaning. My kids love the dentist, don't need restraining. They said they put every small child in a papoose. My 5 year old said she was hit by Dr Ashcraft for talking too much. She wanted to do 6 fillings, 3 root canals and crowns, and to pull two teeth on my 5 year old, all while awake in a papoose that cost $50. Took her for a second opinion and she needed one filling only. For my 4 year old it was the same minus the teeth pulling. Second opinion, just one filling. I could not get a copy of the treatment plan to take home. She billed insurance for use of the papoose without my consent.

Caveat emptor. Get a second opinion before allowing any treatment. I did and the second dentist couldn't find the multiple cavities that she claimed were there and said they definitely did not need extensive work done like she wanted to do. Not to mention parents aren't allowed back and they will use restraints on your children if they don't sit quietly (for hours). Not okay.
