Fantastic experience: Dr Roger Smith is the BEST!
Positive experience: I have had nothing but great experiences here until today. A dental hygienist who is a temp did my cleaning. In 51 years, I have never had such a horrible experience getting my teeth cleaned. I am just glad she is a temp, and I never have to see her again.
Fantastic experience: I had a travelling dental hygienist who was awesome! Then I had a new dentist that I had not met before but was very happy with how attentive she was!
Fantastic experience: Love Dr Kumar and her staff!
Negative experience: First , off I would like to say that Dr. Kumar is a lovely dentist. I feel she’s knowledgeable and cares about her patients and fully invested with the care of their oral health. Now, the receptionist and their billing practices is another story. I was told after receiving my first cleaning of the year that I incurred a balance due to an oral exam. I received no exam and no X-rays. Another receptionist asked did I see the doctor? If so, that was the exam. Now if I’m correct don’t everyone see the doctor after the hygienist clean your teeth? I was also charged for fluoride which if I’m not mistaken is usually what comes with a cleaning. So all in all the Dr. Kumar is excellent but watch the receptionist and how they billing you. I will be taking this up with my insurance company.
Fantastic experience: I am very comfortable with my dentist. She, and her assistants, are professional and caring and take good care of my teeth.
Positive experience: I was a patient of Dr. Barnes, he retired and Dr. Padgett has taken his place. Dr. Padgett and dental hygienist, Glenda were GREAT. My issue was with the receptionist. When we checked out she stated that me and my husband owed 36.00 copay. I explained that we don't have a copay for cleanings. She responded yes you do. So we paid and left. I called BCBS immediately. The representative went above and beyond. She checked our benefits and stated that we didn't owe anything. She also called and spoke to the office. She contacted me back and stated everything was handled and that our money will be refunded. I was waiting for a call from the office, thinking she would apologize. After a few minutes, I called them to confirm that we would be refunded. She was dismissive and unapologetic. If it wasn't for this I would've given them 5 stars.
Fantastic experience: Great attention to their patients, professional and thoughtful. Greatly recommended!
Fantastic experience: It was a great experience as usual the staff is very professional. Dr Smith is one of the best dentists I have been too.
Fantastic experience: Excellent dental practice. State of the art equipment and highly trained dentists and hygienists. Staff if friendly and helpful.
Fantastic experience: Quality service with an eye towards trying to save the customer money. In my case they understood my health insurance deductibles and its coverage and recommended a strategy that ultimately helped me get the treatment that I needed at the lowest out of pocket costs, that is to say that they earned my trust by demonstrating that they had my best interest at the center of their thinking
Fantastic experience: Dr. Barnes is one of the, if not the best, dentist I’ve ever had! The staff is also wonderful! Highly recommend
Fantastic experience: I am very happy with the work they did. Everyone is so kind. I’m truly happy I found them. A very professional and gentle practice. The front office staff was extremely helpful and thorough. Dr. Smith is the best dentist I’ve ever had.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Smith, Dawn, Julie, and everyone there have taken such good care of me over the years. Always trying to accommodate when I have had emergencies come up. They treat you like family. ❤️ I would highly recommend Dr. Smith, Dr Barnes and all the staff.
Negative experience: I don’t typically leave negative reviews, but I felt it was important to share my experience at Mountain Brook Dental in case it helps others. I had a 10:30 a.m. appointment but wasn’t seen until close to 11, which I understand can happen. The hygienist then began an ordinary cleaning but stopped after completing only half of my mouth because it was time for her lunch break. I asked if it were possible for anyone else to finish the cleaning or if I could come back later in the day, but was told neither was an option. Instead, I was asked to come back in two months to finish the cleaning. Even though the delay wasn’t on my end, I was still charged for the visit. While I understand things don’t always run perfectly, my experience was disorganized and disappointing.
Fantastic experience: The hygienist and dentist at Mountain Brook Dental Care are extremely professional and timely. I did not have to wait long for my appointment and my hygienist handled my teeth cleaning with care. Thank you for making my visit a pleasant experience!
Fantastic experience: Was Completely Satisfied with my visit to this dental office. I’ve been a long time patient of Dr Roger Smith, he and the dental hygienist were extremely kind, professional, and thorough during my visit. 5/5 Stars

Fantastic experience: Love Dr Barnes and his people who work for him. Always so helpful and it such a pleasure to come there. No hurt involved great.
Fantastic experience: UPDATE: The implant process is done. Although it’s a long process mine took way too long because I’m a snowbird. Regardless it was worth the wait. As always Dr Smith and the staff are wonderful. At my 2-week checkup we got a good laugh from my senior “brain-fart”. After the implant cap was installed, I couldn’t wear my NTI night guard. It wouldn’t fit over the cap. I asked Dr Smith if he could adjust it. As he starts trying to adjust it he seems to be puzzled by the placement and the impressions on it. Finally he says that it matches the bottom teeth. For 2 weeks, my stupid brain decided it was an upper teeth appliance, when in fact I’ve been wearing it on the lower teeth for 20 years. As embarrassed as I was, we all laughed about it. Dr Smith assured me that things happen. And wished me a Happy Thanksgiving. At least I gave the office something to giggle about that day. Dr Smith and Dr Barnes and the Mountain Brook Dental Care staff make going to the dentist a relatively relaxing event. UPDATE: I’ve started my implant process and can’t believe how smooth the process has been so far. Dr Smith and his assistant are so personable. I feel like I’ve been getting my dental care at MBDC for many years, not a month. All the office staff seem like a family that help each other and look out for each other. I kept postponing finding a dentist since moving here 2 years ago. I continued using my dentist in Michigan when I would go visit my mom. Who to choose? I got a few recommendations but I needed someone who was in my insurance network and was close. Mountain Brook Dental Care met my needs. I was surprised how fast I got an appointment as a new patient. The front desk staff were friendly and professional. At no time did I feel uncomfortable during the teeth cleaning by Julie. She was friendly and explained everything. Dr Leeds is very personable and thorough. She explained the area where I have been more sensitivity. Dr Leeds gave some choices and let me decide. At no time did I feel pressured to choose a certain treatment. I mentioned that I wanted an implant where I had a partial. Within minutes I was getting a 3D scan and Dr Smith, implant specialist, was discussing the procedure with me. I can’t say enough about how happy I am with just one visit. I highly recommend Mountain Brook Dental Center.
Fantastic experience: Great place. Friendly atmosphere. Love Dr Barnes. C
Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough about what a great dentist Dr. Smith and his staff are ! I moved out of town but always came back to town for my cleanings , exams etc for the past 30+ years! They are professional , diligent and timely! What a great practice!
Fantastic experience: Best experience I’ve ever had a the dentist! I was dreading going, and they took great care of me, and had great, life-giving conversations!
Fantastic experience: Very happy with the new facility. As usual the staff and Dr. Smith were wonderful. Enjoyed having Julie clean my teeth.
Fantastic experience: MB Dental Care gives exceptional service and care to their patients. I needed to have some bonding repaired to some of my front teeth and was having a hard time finding a dentist who wanted to do repairs rather than replace the whole set. Dr. Roger Smith and his assistant, KB, were so helpful and encouraging in helping me through this process. After we decided what route to take, he spent hours perfecting the procedure. He asked me to return a couple of weeks later just to be sure that my bite was correct and that I was pleased with the results. I give him a 5-star review. They are the best!!!
Fantastic experience: Hygienist Julie was so thorough when cleaning my teeth. She patiently scaled, flossed, and polished my teeth until it felt like I had a new set. Extremely professional!!
Fantastic experience: Everything thing you would want and love to have in a dentist ,his staff and more. We couldn’t be more pleased with a dentist than we have been with Dr Roger Smith. He listens to any concerns you may have, and pays attention to details. He and his staff are very professional, kind and compassionate. The best hands downs ❣️
Fantastic experience: We always enjoy our 6 month cleanings. Been seeing Dr. Barnes, Kayla & Julie for 20+ years… . Thanks for EVERYTHING!!
Fantastic experience: My service today was amazing as always….Julie and Dr. Smith took great care of me during my office visit. Thank you both so much!!!
