Dr. Nicholas Payne Sowles, DDS

He was able to fix my tooth and do a phenomal job on a Saturday!

From cleanings to crowns this is the best dentist I've been to in my 65 years on the planet. He has the professionalism and skill of Boston in a small, personal family practice. They have bent over backwards to help me keep my teeth through the ups and downs of a shaky economy plus a bad bout with cancer. They have financial plans to help if you have no insurance and anyone I have recommended there has loved them. I have had my teeth cleaned by every hygienist there and have never had a bad experience.

For starters I am a very easy going person and it is rare that I have negative experiences like this one but this place has definitely left a very bad taste in my mouth. (Ironically.) I am a young, newly married, working professional and upon moving to a new state knew that I had to schedule my husband and I simple cleanings. No problem there. This one was easy to find, and easy to make appointments for. I asked them to verify that my insurance would cover our visits and they assured me yes was the answer. But right off the bat they seemed disorganized -- couldn't find paperwork, needed to ask us the same questions several times and the entire process took quite some time. The dental hygienist was very rough and to make matters worse not friendly AT ALL. All things I can usually look past and forget about to be honest. But the thing that stuck with me is the $900 bill we got after we both had a simple cleaning done. Once again I called them to ensure there wasn't a mistake as they… told me the insurance would cover the cleanings. They said it is my fault I should have checked with the insurance first, there was absolutely nothing they could do and "too bad" in a nutshell. So that was my very first time getting royally screwed out of a thousand bucks as an adult even though I had dental insurance that would have covered everything. They were so very rude from beginning to end and I encourage you skip past and continue your search for one of the other hundreds of dentists based off of rt 53. It's worth it to look past this place.

I had a dental emergency and his office responded immediately. I can't say enough, the visit was great.
