Fantastic experience: I met Dr. Beard as I had a cracked tooth that was getting painful. I had just moved here from out of state eight weeks ago. Dr. Beard and his staff were very welcoming and got me in as soon as possible. The repair is amazing, smooth and pain-free. I look forward to going back for my regular cleanings and to see Dr. Beard as my regular dentist. Thank you all.

Jonathan Robinson Published on Google

Negative experience: My experience with this dental office was not good they were very noisy. They asked alot person questions not dental related. I asked for a dental impression of my teeth and they wouldn't give me one because I wanted to use the impression to make a diamond grill for my teeth... keep in mind they picked my brain trying to find out why I wanted a impression for my teeth. They were asking me how much its going cost me to buy the diamond grill, we're I'm buying it at things that shouldn't matter to a dentist. So even though I have insurance I can't get a dental impression from this place thts poor customer service. Why choose this office saint joseph..

Dr Mark B Beard, DDS
Dr Mark B Beard, DDS

Jonathan,
You’re wanting me to participate in some shady internet grill making. I’m looking out for you. You’re going to get scammed and get junk. Why would I want to participate in something like that? Your insurance doesn’t cover study models or esthetic procedures.

Here is what’s going to happen: if you find someone to make your models, and making you models isn’t a big deal, but then you’re going to have this prosthesis made, and the reality is these things usually need some fine tuning and adjusting and you’re going to want whatever dentist you find to do that too, and if your not happy with it you might blame where you got it from but they might blame the dentist you saw, so then that dentist will be in the middle of a conflict over something they should have never signed up to be the middle man for. Helping you with some random internet grill isn’t something I want to participate in.

If you want a copy of your records I’m happy to forward them to wherever you want. I’ll have my staff call you in the morning.

Terra Jones Published on Google

Fantastic experience: What an Amazing team. ♥️♥️♥️

Ida Rose Friend Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Dr. Beard and his team are truly phenomenal. I came to them pretty hopeless about my teeth after several bad experiences elsewhere and they really are a Godsend. I have much work to be done but I am feeling so positive about my treatment plan and the after results so they have given me that hope back. I have gone there on many occasions with a heavy spirit and shoulders as life can be sometimes and they always make me smile and make my day. They have worked with me when others would have turned me away. They really care about their patients. They are both genuine but so highly professional at the same time. They know exactly what they are doing. I have written very few reviews but it's worth telling others this is the dentist to go to. Even if u hate going to the dentist, mark my words they will change your mind

Fantastic experience: My initial visit went very well. A warm & friendly staff (Kristen, Lexy & ?Denise) were kind, pleasant & attentive. And, with a name like "Beard" how can you not be jovial and considerate. Looking forward to their support of my oral health in the future!

Jason and Leslie Brennan Published on Google

Fantastic experience: This team is ABSOLUTELY amazing. I am deaf so I read lips. They made sure I understood everything. I’m terrified of going to a dentist because of a past experience in Kansas City. The team explained everything to me with such compassion. I am so glad I picked this dentist team for my teeth. Thank you, team, for making my experience a good one. I felt safe and respected. I am even less terrified now!!

neil Hendrix Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Best dentist and nurse I've ever been to and I'm 50 they were quick efficient very friendly and had some good tunes on the radio but over everything I told them I needed a tooth pulled pointed out the tooth after they took the time to investigate further it wasn't that tooth at all ...that being said they didn't pull the tooth I thought they pulled another and it was the tooth that was the problem changed my life the pain I was in was gone instantly they took the time to find the problem not just pull the one I thought ...very good people thanks a bunch

Fantastic experience: I am needing dentures and they have been wonderful about including in the process and letting me know what to expect. When it comes to the dentures themselves, they are being very thorough to ensure that they will look good and fit well.

Teonia Starks Published on Google

Positive experience: The people are nice, but I didn’t feel comfortable while getting my fill on my teeth. I know the doctor was in a rush because of time but I didn’t get a hi, how are you? Are you comfortable? The whole procedure was uncomfortable and hurt. The staff is welcoming & I honestly just don’t like going to the dentist so I’m not sure if my experience would be different anywhere else.

Dr Mark B Beard, DDS
Dr Mark B Beard, DDS

I’m sorry you felt that way. I know dental work causes many people anxiety. That’s why we offer complementary services such as laughing gas or premedication. Beyond that, there was no rush. Your work was done to the best of my ability with all the time taken that was needed. As a general rule I try to make things efficient for the patient by scheduling appointments in a way that the number of
appointments are the fewest as possible. Beyond that, none of us are mind readers. You should always express discomfort if that is what you’re experiencing otherwise I have no way of knowing. We have lots of options for people who have anxiety and dental fears but we can’t read your mind.

Tyler Alt Published on Google

Negative experience: While I had no problem with my general visit And felt the care was quality they had me sign up for a dental plan three years ago. Despite repeated attempts phone calls and communication somehow it renews year after year and they continue to take money out of my account despite repeated request to stop taking money out and cancel my plan. At this point, I’m gonna have to cancel my credit card and cancel my bank account just to get them to stop fraudulently taking money out of my account for a plan that I have asked for them to stop and cancel and they won’t .

Dr Mark B Beard, DDS
Dr Mark B Beard, DDS

I’m sorry for your personal problems. We have no record of your calls except for the recent incessant ones such as calling 5 times back to back to back to back to back while our lines were full leaving obscene messages.

When you signed up for the plan the terms of the plan were given to you. It is managed by a third party. As stated on the phone, you needed to sign their paper work and cancel the charges they were making on your card.

Your attitude and obscenity’s are uncalled for. No one did anything wrong to you.

Dylan Klino Published on Google

Fantastic experience: The entire staff is knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating. They make you feel comfortable and confident in their care. They disagreed with a diagnosis I received at another facility and declined to do any work I was expecting and prepared to have done. Who turns down business anymore!!!I love the responsibility they have towards their job.

Cody Davis Published on Google

Negative experience: Wife got work done here and after cleaning and putting in fillings went to another dentist and they laughed at how bad his work is. And they knew who it was because he has become a laughing stock among dentists for constantly needing to correct his work Avoid at all costs. Also will publically assume you are in jail if you miss an appointment so you better show up to get your teeth messed up!

Dr Mark B Beard, DDS

I’m going to reply to every review you post even if you delete them. But the person you’re speaking of, the person who’s been calling my offices all day, long harassing and threatening yelling at my staff, that person was dismissed from my practice two years ago because they never showed up to their appointments. I can understand why their mouth looks so bad if they didn’t have their issues addressed in the past and then took two years to find a dentist to see them.
Cody, writing false slanderous statements online is called libel. It is illegal. I’ve taken screenshots of all the reviews you’ve made, including the ones you’re deleting and I’m going to use them as well as the testimony from my staff who you’ve been harassing all day, to file restraining orders. I know your wife or girlfriend has already been in jail multiple times. That is part of public record that you can look up easily. So perhaps you don’t care. But I will not let you harass and threaten my staff in this way. We’ve never met you nor your wife or whoever she is to you. But you will be impacted as well. She is liable for anyone associated with her if they contact us and harass us as well. That’s how restraining orders work. Making what you think is an “anonymous” Google review isn’t anonymous at all.

Danny Bowman Published on Google

Negative experience: They are supposed to open at 9am, it's is 12:18 and they still haven't opened. I don't mean to be rude, but I'm in a lot of pain and you guys are the only one that I could find on Saturday that said they were open. Ok this guy is a joke, I wasn't rude or anything, I was just wanting an opinion. But don't worry I won't be recommending you to anyone

Dr Mark B Beard, DDS
Dr Mark B Beard, DDS

Danny,
I’m sorry you’re in pain. But you
are not a patient of ours, you didn’t have an appointment, we are a private BY APPOINTMENT ONLY office and not a walk in clinic.. So I don’t really owe you an apology. We are open Fridays and Saturdays BY APPOINTMENT. We are not an emergency service. As with most businesses where an appointment is needed, as most doctor offices are, you should call first.

Danny, You’ve never seen me. You are rude because you blame me for your poor thinking. Not only that, but you are malicious … as demonstrated by the fact that Google notified me that you edited my business hours.

Your thinking is so entitled that you believe you can demand to be seen and treated by a private business without an appointment at your demand, and then complain when it doesn’t work out for you.


According to what you’ve said you showed up to a locked doctors office with no appointment, and sat there for 3 hours expecting to be seen. Lastly, Danny, I was never worried about your recommendations. I wouldn’t want a recommendation from someone as smart as you.

Ps: if you’d like to discuss the matter more, the office will be open this Saturday from 9am-2pm, BY APPOINTMENT.

Fantastic experience: By far the best experience I’ve had in and around St. Joe. Friendly staff, Dr.Beard doesn’t just recommend a bunch of unnecessary procedures and leave, appointments are backed up for new patients but it’s worth the wait to get in. Cleanings and other appt’s are quick and easy.
