I never thought I’d say this about a dentist’s office, but I actually look forward to my next visit Definitely 5-star service! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Negative experience: I was there today as a new patient, front desk young lady was horrible and rude. Teach the attitude toward people and manners first. Before seeing a doctor, we see these people first.
Thank you for bringing your concerns to our attention. Providing exceptional care and service is important to us, and we take all feedback seriously. We welcome the opportunity to connect with you directly to better understand your experience.
Fantastic experience: They are very nice and really help you feel comfortable and at ease.
Fantastic experience: Excellent patient care. Time waiting minimum. Friendly staff.
Fantastic experience: I had a checkup and cleaning. Everything was very good
Fantastic experience: Great experience! My appointment was on time. The ladies at the front desk were very helpful and nice. Getting my teeth cleaned was not bad at all. It went by quickly and my teeth felt great after it was done.
Negative experience: I was there today and I had a terrible experience the supervisor was extremely rude she told me to suck it up after me not being happy about the results !!!!! I don't recomend this place to any one.
Positive experience: I was treated with respect and I had a good treatment.
Fantastic experience: My husband and I have been using Killeen Dental for several years now. Everyone from the front desk, hygienist & Dr. Melter have always been so professional (& friendly)! Would highly recommend this office for your dental needs!
Fantastic experience: Good dentist and vert friendly.
Fantastic experience: The staff were very welcoming and helpful with explaining everything that was happening.
Fantastic experience: Great people - great dentistry. Highly recommended. They treat you right. Something to remember though is that dentists don't work for free. If you have insurance (it is YOUR job to provide it) then it will be less expensive. If you don't have insurance then you will have to pay. They have the best hygienist I have found. Truly pain free and very pleasant.
Fantastic experience: Very nice place, staff members are very friendly i would highly recommend this place.
Fantastic experience: The staff at the dental office are professional and care about the patient.
Fantastic experience: Awesome expirence at Killen Dental Group!
Fantastic experience: Communication is on point before, during and after my appointment. Service was extremely professional and everyone was smiling at all times. I can’t wait for my future appointments!!! Extremely informative! I love going to see Kelly for my cleanings!
Negative experience: Came in for a cleaning and yearly X-ray as a new patient. They spent 45 minutes X-raying my teeth. I was X-rayed 4x times (yes, my entire mouth FOUR TIMES) which is not good for you because of the radiation. It was painful and clear that nobody knew what they were doing, especially because it was the first time this person had ever done an X-ray. After that the dentist came in telling me I had a cavity but didn't show me my X-rays. Then I was done, they wanted me to schedule a separate appointment for a teeth cleaning. Absolutely pointless and waste of time. Will never be back here.
Fantastic experience: very good. very professional and courteous.very reasonable. im very happy to be in their care for my dental needs. very good prices for their services
Fantastic experience: The staff was very nice and welcoming!! The dental assistant,dental hygienist, and the doctor made me feel so comfortable during my appointment. I have childhood trauma when it comes to the dentist, so I get very anxious!! They made me feel at ease and explain the whole process of what was happening next!!!
Fantastic experience: I have never felt free of dental anxiety then when I came to Killeen Dental Group. The staff made the entire process easy to understand and less stressful when it came to deciding on the right dental plan with no worry concerning price. The Dr. to me seems to actually care about the patient and methods to save smiles. I'm bad at remembering names but I really suggest Killeen Dental Group as the ideal place to take care of your dental needs. Thank you Killeen Dental Group!!
Fantastic experience: I cannot say enough good things about this dental clinic. This was the most positive dental experience I have ever had. Every staff member I interacted with was friendly, knowledgeable, and compassionate. They took the time to walk me through treatment options in a way that was clear and easy to understand, and they made sure I felt comfortable with my decisions. I also appreciated how clean and well kept the office is — it truly reflects the level of care they provide. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dental team that combines professionalism with genuine kindness.

Fantastic experience: My very first experience was absolutely great I felt comfortable the staff was friendly polite respectful and just amazing the dental office was very clean I didn’t feel nervous or out of place and I was in and out less than an hour it was a great experience and I will be coming back thanx everyone
Fantastic experience: I visited the Killeen Dental Group a couple of weeks ago and appreciated their care of my teeth. My teeth were well cleaned and I left with silky teeth and no need to have any additional work. Everyone in the office is kind in providing services and answer all questions I asked. I recommend their services.
Negative experience: Staff was very rude, avoid at all cost
Fantastic experience: Very professional work by dentist and assistant. Very pleased with outcome of temporary crown and fillings.
Fantastic experience: Killeen Dental are without a doubt the best place in Killeen. Super friendly, caring, and fast. I'll never go anywhere else again. The care and treatment can't be beaten!
Fantastic experience: I used to get anxiety about visiting dentists and getting work done. At Killeen dental group I feel well taken care of by everyone involved. Special shout out to Ms. Sharon, she gives me great feedback about the work we’re doing to improve and maintain my oral hygiene and I always leave more motivated to stay consistent with a routine and do better because of her uplifting attitude and energy! Thank you Ms. Sharon! Thank you Killeen Dental Group!
Fantastic experience: Once again, I received excellent care at the Killeen Dental Group. Sharon is an amazing hygienist. Dr. Harris is truly the best dentist I've ever known. The whole experience, from check-in to check-out is so personal and everyone is so friendly.
Fantastic experience: Everyone in the office is very professional and informative with any questions I'd ask. Staff is professional and courteous.
Fantastic experience: Dr. HARRIS and his Staff are Phenomenal. After years of hiding my smile due to missing a tooth, gapped and misaligned teeth, they gave me a Perfect smile and straight, in-line, Pearly whites to show off! I highly recommend them to everyone. Thank You and God Bless Dr. Michael E. Harris DDS
Fantastic experience: Awesome family oriented clinic. No complaints at all.
Fantastic experience: If you’re looking for a good dentist Dr Michael Harris is definitely the one!!
Fantastic experience: They always take time to explain everything and are very profesional.
Fantastic experience: Great service and customer service. Employees are very professional. My daughter was terrified of dentist, but Dr. Harris was able to convince her that everything will be alright, and he fixed all of her dental issues.
Fantastic experience: I went in yesterday for my hygiene cleaning… I had Kelly again and she was wonderful. She’s so thorough and explains everything well which makes me comfortable. My last cleaning I had Sharon who was amazing! So I highly recommend both! The Dental Assistant Bobbie was very kind and did amazing as well!
Fantastic experience: This dental office is very cost sufficient, Meaning reasonable. I recently had a procedure done and the procedure went great smooth the doctor wasn’t rough or heavy-handed. I love how the doctor communicated with me through the process on how I’m feeling and asking me is everything OK? Great customer service.
Fantastic experience: Had to find a new Dentist because the one I was seeing was not capable of meeting the standard of care my mouth and teeth required. I am so grateful I discovered Killeen Dental on my way home from yet another disappointing dental appointment with my previous provider. Dr Melter and his assistant Hannah was like going from dark to light. The front desk clerk’s are friendly and very helpful. My standard of care was amazing. All my needs were met with compassion and empathy. What a great team of healthcare professionals. I am glad to be part of the family at Killeen Dental Group!!
Fantastic experience: I really have enjoyed my experience at Killeen dental group, everybody is so professional and personal. And even though I did not have insurance they were able to find some for me where it made all my procedures affordable until I was able to get some on my own. I really appreciate their patience and their professionalism highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: We had to search for a new dentist because our old one no longer accepted our insurance. So we checked online with our insurance and stumbled across Killeen Dental. My husband and I are so pleased with our new dentists and their staff. I cannot tell you how happy we are with all of them. Dr. Harris got me in early because a filling had fallen in between my back teeth causing me pain. I also had a cracked back tooth that he put a filling in. I’m almost 50 years old and this is the first time that I felt at ease and confident with a dental visit. Dr. Harris’ demeanor just naturally put me at ease. My anxiety is usually very high during appointments. Mind you, my appointment was just for an exam, but seeing what my situation was, he went above and beyond to help me. My husband was also pleased with his dentist who fixed his filling right away. All the dental hygienists and staff were nonjudgmental, kind and knowledgeable. We felt so welcomed. If you are on the fence, please try this facility. They are not just kind, but do their work very well.
Fantastic experience: Pleasant staff,love going to Dr. Harris
Fantastic experience: Made me feel very comfortable they were professional and they are hard working
Fantastic experience: Wants you checked in they call you right away.
Fantastic experience: Got my wisdom teeth out, didn’t feel anything during but painful afterwords, don’t recommend getting your wisdom teeth out but if you have to, you should go here, and they let me keep my teeth
Fantastic experience: I really enjoyed this practice. Everyone was super friendly and valued the patients time. Dr Melter was super down to earth and my son enjoyed speaking with him throughout the visit.
Fantastic experience: I am satisfied with the professionalism at Killeen Dental Group. I didn't have to wait because they called me right after my arrival.
Fantastic experience: Quick and painless. Very efficient in getting the cleaning done. Encourages you to ask questions about what issues you have.
Fantastic experience: Finally found a dentist where I didn't have to wait forever just for a cleaning. Have been here for 2 years and it has been great. Dr Harris and his team are awesome
Fantastic experience: Stay is very helpful warm and friendly dental assistants and dentists are outstanding
Fantastic experience: Although I did not see Dr. Harris - my hero in dental care - I did see Dr. Durnin for the first time. He's all the good things you can think to say about a dentist. As for the dental assistants and staff, all are excellent in care and performance of duties. No one looks forward to going to the dentist, but when I have to, I sincerely look forward to going to Killeen Dental Group.
Fantastic experience: Exceptional care both in terms of thoroughness of examination and diagnosis as well as an explanation of the proposed treatment plan. Thank you Dr. Harris and staff!
Fantastic experience: It was great was then care of without hassle. Doc and tech very professional but friendly too. Very confident in care.
Negative experience: Worst place ever! I had a bad experience with both dentists about my tooth. They don’t know what tooth’s it was, even with ex-Rays ( took them twice). Had to call my insurance and they told me to go to another dentist and when I went there the dentist knew by one ex-Ray what tooth’s had to be removed! All about money. The receptionist very unfriendly.
Fantastic experience: Everybody is Just amazing! Both doctors are wonderful. Great service: ) highly recommended
Fantastic experience: I have always had 5 star dental care here. I recommend Killeen Dental Group to anyone seeking excellence in dental care.
Fantastic experience: My family and I switched to the Killeen Dental Group with Dr. Michael Harris. We have received the absolute best dental care. I just had tooth extracted about a week ago. Dr. Harris and staff went the extra mile to get me to relax and not be afraid. I did not feel any pain during the extraction. That was my biggest fear. After the nova Caine wore off there was some discomfort but very little. Dr. Harris is the best Dentist that my family has been with hands down. If you are looking for a dentist I highly recommend the Killeen Dental Group.
Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere. Makes you at ease when you’re in the chair.
Fantastic experience: Very professional and does good work. No complaints.
Fantastic experience: I used to go here back in '06 and started coming back here in '24. There has been so much improvement from the staff to the practices. The dental hygienist, Sharon, did a superb job making sure she let me know anything that came up during the cleaning. She even suggested very useful products! I would recommend going here to anyone!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Harris provided exceptional service from the moment you walk through the door. Thank you all for your help!
Negative experience: Very slow service appointment means nothing. They will get to you when they get to you.
Fantastic experience: I had seen Doctor Harris since I was a child back when he was in Temple. I had neglected going to the dentist for several years because I had severe anxiety and really couldn’t find anyone as good as Doctor Harris. I had gone to another Dental facility in Temple and wasn’t impressed. When I tell you that he truly cares about his patients he does. Today I had gone In for severe wisdom tooth pain!!! I know I should’ve had them out years ago but at 40 there I was!!! I was thrilled to find out that Dr. Harris was working back in the area and knew right away that I would gladly make the drive from Killeen to come to his facility!!! He had worked around scheduling and took out all four of my wisdom tooth today!!! The other dentist that had done the extraction was amazing too!! He had talked me through everything!!! Great people here!!! Definitely wouldn’t trust anyone else with my teeth!!!!
Negative experience: I've gotten my teeth pulled out. It was jam pack. I careless how the long i waited, they could of seen me last. IDC. I'm a patient individual. It was how all the staff members at the front desk was extremely rude towards new comers and some what nice to the usuals. Should of, would of, could of recorded. Shame on me for not doing it. Anyways I was close to the last to be seen. After my teeth gotten pulled out. The dentist told me to see the front clerk/receptionist to retrieve more gauze. So I ask and they ended giving me one. Really one, after I had my three wisdom tooth pulled out. I guess it takes one gauze to stop the bleeding. Never again I'll be coming back. Btw some of the reviews that claim that they are great. That's a lie. Those individuals who claims this and that. They are just made up to boost whomever owns that business. If you know your doing something wrong don't do it. Hopefully they get what they deserve. No stars would of been a plus. Have a great day.
Fantastic experience: Dental group does an amazing job I can’t complain!
Fantastic experience: I had my teeth cleaned this time. They’re not judgmental and they’re extremely kind and gentle. I have a phobia of dental work and they make the experience okay.
Fantastic experience: Hands down best Dentist in Killeen. PSA DO NOT GO TO HARKER HEIGHTS DENTAL YOU WILL REGRET IT.
Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend this place. I was referred there by my Orthodontist for some input on my future care with her and I am SO glad she did. The staff here is absolutely lovely, they treated me and the other patients that came in with so much care. I love how ALL the staff took a genuine interest in everyones care whether they were directly working with them or not. I came in with a bit of a dilemma and confusion about a few things and the ladies at the front desk immediately went beyond their call of duty to quickly resolve with genuine concern and real common sense approaches to the issues. I will most definitely be back, the customer service there is outstanding and my visit with Dr. Durnin was a real pleasure as well.
Negative experience: I’ve been trying to schedule an appointment for a week now, but I still haven’t heard anything from them. I’ve been wanting to get my cleaning here because I heard it was the best but its been looking bad.
Fantastic experience: One of the best dental offices I’ve ever been too. Staff is amazing, and all my dental work went over really smooth. I appreciate you guys ❤️
Fantastic experience: Dr Harris is the best dentist in town! The office staff are wonderful and found me a special appt time for my busy schedule. I recommend this practice to all my family, friends, and patients
Fantastic experience: I broke a tooth and Killeen Dental Group got me in immediately. Dr Harris and Sara are a great team and took immediate care of me. Dr. Harris is an awesome dentist who is genuinely caring for his patients.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Michael Harris is the best! I am having 2 implants done and yesterday (March 23, 2023) was my first appointment with Dr. Harris to continue the work needed to complete the process. He and his Assistant (Bobbie) were superb in everything they did to make this appointment a totally positive experience. I am scheduled to return in April once the crowns for the implants have been made by an outside source. Both Dr. Harris and Bobbie have made this whole experience an example of total professionalism and of people who love their craft. Kudos to them both!
Fantastic experience: The best place here in Killeen friendly staff always pleasant very professional.
Fantastic experience: Front desk was sweet and easy to talk to about my questions! The dental team was very straightforward with my about my wisdom teeth, which I appreciated.
Fantastic experience: Efficient, painless, informative cleaning. Good time management - I was taken in the back 5 minutes before my scheduled appointment. It was the easiest cleaning that I've experienced. Informed me and recommended solutions to problem areas.
Fantastic experience: They help me so easily with my son and so friendly staffs.
Fantastic experience: Great clinic. They reallly careProvided special care for special needs ADA patient. Highly recommend, they become your family dentistry.
Fantastic experience: I can’t express how much I love Killeen Dental! They are super nice and do a great job with me.
Fantastic experience: I am new to Texas, and I needed to find a dentist office. I love that I chose this office they’re very professional, very clean, and very friendly. I’m coming here for the rest of my life lol thank you guys
Fantastic experience: This was a great experience. The staff was extremely friendly and provided an explanation of every detail. This has been by far my best dental experience.
Fantastic experience: Went in to do 2 fillings got it done in 30 minutes and a real friendly experience with the dentist and dentist assistant. They did the anesthetic really good didn’t feel a thing besides a tinge of discomfort but what do you expect when you are getting a tooth drilled out. The fillings where done very well don’t even feel like I got fillings done besides my jaw being a bit sore but that tends to happen when you have it open for a prolonged time so 10/10 rating would recommend going
Negative experience: If I could give 0 stars, I most definitely would. Pain lasting months after work being done, being lied to by saying the incompetent dentist who did the painful work was gone, making an appointment and showing up only to be told that they didn't schedule me correctly but I could still be seen aaaaaand, lo and behold, who is the dentist that will be seeing me? You guessed it, the one that 'was no longer there'- no thank you. In pain and headed to another office in hopes of better service and more competent staff and doctors.
Fantastic experience: I came in on a Friday morning with an emergency visit. They took great care of me and made this very nervous person when it comes to dental work very comfortable.
