I enjoyed my visit with Dr. Wheeler. After visiting a number of other dentists in town from Affordable, and 4 corners, it can be a bit of a contrast working with an older dentist who is much slower overall. I feel he overfilled my filling, which took more time to bring down to the proper level. In the end he did a fine job, and polished the tooth to perfection. If you're a person prone to higher anxiety you may not appreciate the extra time in the chair though.
One thing that was disappointing about this shop is they expect payment up front, even when they bill insurance and get pre-approval. Certainly good for them, but not so good for the patient who has to put the cash up front. Not exactly good customer service in my opinion. Most doctors who bill insurance don't charge you up front. It's understood if the insurance fails, the patient is ultimately responsible. I don't like this policy, and it's just about a deal breaker for me, but there's a minimum number of dentists who accept Medicaid in town.
For lower income people, I feel they could do a lot more to help. Waiting a month plus for insurance to pay when you're short on cash can be hard, and they have far greater resources then me.
I've been here a few more times since this review. Dr. Wheeler performed a re-treatment of a root canal, and service was top-notch. He also did some fine tuning for an occlusion (bite adjustment), and he really took the time to figure out where the problem was coming from. I've really come to respect him a lot more, and continue to see him.
Staff is fun and friendly!

Have gone here for about 5 years. Finally switched dentists when I went to Dr. Wheeler with specific teeth pains and his staff did fillings on different teeth for a different problems. They shrugged and said it may help with the original pains (it didn't). My family has also gone to him and has had countless fixed teeth and fillings chipped or fall out, suggesting poor dentistry.
I agree with other reviewers about payment; They asked me to pay $400 up front for wisdom teeth surgery and then had me pay an additional $1,000+ at my follow up. I know they can't control everything but that was a significant price difference from what they told me.

I have been going here since I was a kid, great staff. I had my wisdom teeth out here and they really did a wonderful job. Dr Wheeler and staff are really good at anticipating the pain of the person being worked on...don't know quite how to describe it but during tooth removal or cavity filling they always know without my saying anything and do what they can to make the procedure comfortable.
