Fantastic experience: Been seeing Stacy for years Dr Thames really knowledgeable and thorough would recommend to anyone Thanks
Fantastic experience: Dr. Tim’s is amazing!
Negative experience: They make it to where you have to come multiple days and charge you like $300 each day for something they could of done one day. They have one dentist rushing from different clients
Fantastic experience: Everyone is always polite and friendly. Dr. Martin has retired (good for him) he was professional, through and always explained it so I could understand. I think Dr.Morgan is going to be much the same. I will recommend Laurel Dental Group to everyone!
Fantastic experience: This has been the most efficiently operated Dental practice.. So professional yet personable
Fantastic experience: Visit was on time, made to feel as comfortable as possible at dentist. Dental hygienist very professional and informative during visit.
Negative experience: I was a walk in to get a crown glued back in place. I was taken in quickly and the procedure was done quickly and very professional. My only complaint came when time to pay the bill. I was in the room about 30 minutes and the bill was $269.00. The rate of $500 per hour seemed outrageously high. I tried to ask for justification and the girl at the desk just said “That's what the charge is “. This same procedure was done a few years ago at another dentist and the charge was $60 I think.
Fantastic experience: Great experience with the office staff and Dr. Morgan
Fantastic experience: On time and friendly. As much as no one really likes to visit the dentist’s office, Laurel Dental Group makes it pleasant. It’s always like catching up with extended family. The staff is always smiling and ready to make you comfortable with whatever you’re having done.

Fantastic experience: I received professional services and excellent care. They made me feel welcome during my visit at Laurel Dental Group
Fantastic experience: I have been coming to see Dr. Martin for about 20 years. He is the best dentist I have ever been to. Before every procedure he always ask how you are doing and if you feel like discussing any problems you may be having other than your teeth, he will listen and then ask if you mind that he pray for you and that the procedure is a success. For the same 20 years, I always see Kim for my cleanings. She makes you feel so comfortable and does such a great job. I have seen Melissa before when Kim was not available and she is very good too. Today was just a cleaning visit and updated my history, as I have been having some health concerns recently. After Kim was thru she called Dr. Thames in just to check her work. He was also very friendly and concerned about my other health problem. He also ask if it was ok that he say a prayer for me. These days I need all the prayers I can get. I am so thankful to have a dental clinic with awesome providers that are Christians and fantastic staff.
Fantastic experience: Super friendly staff. Very thorough. Excellent dental care.

Fantastic experience: I have never felt comfortable walking into a dentist office until I found this group here. Everyone is very kind and they CARE about their patients. I’m very thankful to have found them! I would also like to leave a comment for anyone likeminded, the VERY few reviews talking about the staff being rude, I can guarantee it was the customer that caused it to start with, every single one of the folks at that dentist office are very nice and very professional, and will work with you and actually appear to care about needs and issues

The entire staff that I dealt with was exceptionally kind. Thank you Dr. Thames and Laurel Dental Group. You guys rock!

Fantastic experience: I have had the pleasure, privilege, and honor to be associated with Doctor Martin as my Dentist and friend for several years. In addition to being an exceptional individual proficient in the requirements of his profession, he has been a blessing to my soul as a contributor to my spiritual growth. Doctor Martin is one of those few people one encounters during ones life that is never forgotten. I will miss our association, but wish him many years of good health and happiness as he launches the new chapter of his life. Have a great life Doc! Iley “Joe” Payne
