Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Brightwell and his staff provide excellent, thorough service. He explains everything he is going to do up front and takes the time to make sure the patient is comfortable at all times! He comes highly recommended from every momber of our family as well and the referrals we have sent his way!

The entire staff at Dr. Brightwell's office is courteous and friendly. He is most thorough dentist I have had with his check ups and procedures. Dr. Brightwell has fixed two chipped teeth for me and involved me in every step and decision of the process, which I really appreciated (especially as it was my front teeth). Nicole has been my hygienist for almost a decade - she is so personable, detailed oriented, and I trust her completely with the care of my teeth.

I have been a patient of Dr. Brightwell for a few years now. I highly recommend him! He is very friendly and easy to work with. He does a very thorough exam, including a neck and tongue exam. No other dentist has done that. I appreciate the extra attention to detail. His office staff is very friendly and the dental hygienists are fantastic!

My granddaughter had a couple of first time cavities, one requiring an extraction of a baby tooth. Dr. Brightwell walked her through the procedure. She did great!

I have been going to Dr. Brightwell for several years now. Dr. Brightwell is very personable and always takes the time to speak to you on a personal and social level. I have always had Nicole as my Hygienist, and she has always provided excellent care and is always enjoyable to talk with. The front desk staff is always very friendly and will work with you to accommodate your needs. I highly recommend Dr. Brightwell, and often recommend him to friends and family!

Dr. Brightwell is a wonderful dentist! He listens well and is a thorough and honest man. Our family's well-trusted, former dentist (who retired a few years ago) suggested Dr. Brightwell upon her retirement. He hasn't let us down! Definitely recommend.

My sister referred me to Dr. Brightwell several years ago and I couldn't be happier. My appointments are always right on time and Nicole and the other dental hygienists are super friendly and do an excellent job cleaning and polishing my teeth. Dr. Brightwell does a thorough checkup and was excellent when I had to have a cavity filled. If you're looking for a new dentist, I highly recommend trying out Dr. Brightwell and his team.

I've had my fair share of dentists throughout my life and Dr. Brightwell is by far the best. His practice is extremely professional and welcoming. His staff is very thorough in their work and each time I leave feeling pleased and completely satisfied with the service I've received. Even after moving to another suburb of Kansas City, I still am willing to make the 30 minute drive over to his office every six months.
