I've always been real happy with Karen's work. She's very gentle and I think it is pretty expensive. My old cap and fillings from when I was a kid are finally falling out so she has replaced them. I've been really happy. There were some issues with my insurance so they had to re-bill it and they just did what they had to do to get the insurance okay. I thought that was a plus work.
Description of Work: I have an awesome dentist. Her name is Karen Hallinan and it's called Grande Smiles as the main office.

Very nice office environment. Lot's of freebies offered to attract new clients. They underestimated our out of pocket and indicated a procedure not fully covered by our insurance would cost less than it ended up costing in the end. Staff was defensive when I called them out on it. They did finally lower the amount we paid but too little too late to keep our business.
Description of Work: Dental exam and cleaning. Also several sealants and fillings.

She is the nicest person ever especially if I am afraid. She is the perfect person if one is scared of dentists, and I have gone to her recently, and for ten years because she gets it that I am scared, and works with me on it. I would continue to use her again in the future.
Description of Work: Dr. Hallinan is my dentist. I have been using her for almost ten years. My last appointment with her was for basic cleaning.

As always they are very prompt. The office staff are all cordial and professional. Dr Hallinan is focused, skilled, and I have had several crowns, root canals, and feel qualified to share my experience over these five years. The dental work has been excellent and pain free. People are always jealous when I tell them that I actually enjoy having a root canal. I spend a couple hours with a hot parafin treatment, massage chairs, warming blankets if I want them, music if I wish, and excellent administration of nitrous and leave feeling relaxed and refreshed. It is a little like a spa with a dental service attached. I believe her prices are competitive with other offices. I highly recommend this office for your dental needs.
Description of Work: I have been a patient in this dental office for the last five years. I most recently had a cleaning and overall exam

She did general dentistry and I liked them. However we changed insurance companies so I had to switch dentists. I also was a little bit upset that they just assumed when they put something in your mouth they use the most expensive materials and you don't know what they used until you get billed. They are the Cadillac of dentists and use the best materials throughout their operation. They have TV's on the ceiling and give you warm blankets. The staff was pretty level there is nothing good and nothing bad. I recommend them to others.

I really like her. She does not over sell. She doesn't try to do unnecessary treatments. She has been there a long time. She is consistant and stable. Her staff is friendly, there seems to be no hostility and they get along. A lot of her staff has been there a long time. That is a good sign. She does continuing education all the time. They just had a switch over in billing and it is just okay. I will continue to use her.
Description of Work: She is my dentist. I saw her for an appointment.

I have had several root canals, fillings, general exam...all great.
Description of Work: I have had many services here. I beg to have root canals. That is how good it is. Go for the massage chair, the head phones, the nitrous, the hot wax treatment for your hands...I am just blissed out...two hrs of bliss. No phone calls. No emails. Bliss. Plus..they are very competent and coridal staff. The billing person always knows exactly to the penny what I will owe so I can plan my treatments.

I am saving my money now for a complete smile redesign. They do cosmetic dentistry, but also general dentistry and root canals. The hygienist is also quite professional and everything is immaculate. Another nice touch in the lovely restroom there are disposable toothbrushes in cellophane wrappers that even have a kind of toothpaste on them! They also give discounts for waterpiks and electric Sonic toothbrushes. I think that is done elsewhere too. I have referred several friends to this office and they have also been quite happy with this staff. And another nice bonus for me is a $25 deduction on my bill when a friend uses my name. One time I received a $25 gift certificate to the Olive Garden restaurant after a referral. These are just fun little extras. I really like these people.
Description of Work: I have had extensive dental work done by Dr. Hallinan. I have had a couple root canals, crowns replaced and numerous cleanings and periodontal work done with her hygienist too. Dr. Hallinan is professional, competent and very personable. What is different about this dentist than many other dental offices is it is simply pain free. In fact, a morning spent having a root canal is actually quite relaxing. They first put my hands in a warm paraffin bath and then cover them with warming mittens. I am in a reclining vibrating chair and feeling quite cozy. Then the nitrous comes and I feel happy and relaxed. I have my choice of music or I can bring my own iPod. Dr. Hallinan and the staff have told me step by step the procedure before it was even started. The whole time I am alert and awake, but just sort of enjoying my world of relaxing, warm hands and gentle vibrations all over my body. Actually it is over too soon. I have had two root canals with this office and the time alloted was about 3-4 hrs, but they were both done within a two hr frame. There is never any waiting at all for an appt. and the staff are hospitable and professional. Finally, Dr. Hallinan personally makes a follow up phone call the next day to check on how I am feeling. Ooooh...I feel so special.
