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.

They kept reschedule me for three month. Had to go to a professional. The staff child like rudeness.

Go Somewhere Else
Office staff & Doctor are dishonest, unkind, unprofessional, and do not perform job duties while placing the blame on the referring dentist or patient because of their lack of due diligence. What is sad is I went to Dr Coates for my wisdom teeth in college 25 years ago and my mom last went a couple years ago. Yet for the way they ALL treated my mother with Alzheimer's today, none of us will darken their doorstep ever again. Blessing in disguise. Realize now why the ratings have gone down in the last 2 years.

The most hostile and rude dentist I’ve ever come in contact with. Incredible rude to me because I had questions before being put under. I ended up leaving with out doing my procedure. Please read Dr Coates reviews online before scheduling with this place. You will regret it!

I had my left wisdom teeth removed at another dentist a few years ago and my right two by Dr. Coates. I have been to many dentists in the US but Dr. Coates is the worst so far. Compare to my previous experience (both with local anesthesia), my experience with Dr. Coates was really uncomfortable. He was very rough. The hot drill touched my lips a few times and got swollen. When I confronted him about it, he got angry and defensive. Very unprofessional. I ran out of the room in tears. Never again.

Their follow through with your appointments and concern for your condition did not exists at all was told some one would contact me in regards to my appointment however no one ever did so when I call to see if there is a problem I am told I will have a return call and here it is a week later and I haven't heard from them. The office and Dr Coates need to work on their follow through with their patients it's been 4 months now and the problem is still not taken care of

Receptionist was very welcoming, and helpful. I had all wisdom teeth pulled/cut, and didn't even need to be put out for the procedure. Dr. Coates did an awesome job at making sure I was prepared, and ready for the days following. Great job!
