Staff and Service Quality
The staff at Lasting Smiles (formerly Barnum Dental) has been criticized for being unfriendly and uninformative about procedures. One reviewer mentioned that the staff does not provide enough information to patients about major procedures, expecting them to already know what to expect.
Dental Hygienist Issues
There have been issues with a specific dental hygienist, Agnes, who has been described as rough, unfriendly, and unprofessional. One reviewer reported experiencing pain after a cleaning with Agnes and suspected that she had damaged their gums.
Insurance and Billing
One reviewer was unhappy with the office's policies, feeling that they were more concerned with billing insurance than providing quality care. They felt that the office was trying to maximize profits by requiring multiple visits for a simple procedure.
Positives
On the other hand, many reviewers had positive experiences with the office, praising the friendly and efficient staff, comfortable cleaning experiences, and honest practice. Several reviewers mentioned specific staff members who were knowledgeable, personable, and gentle.
