Hickory Commons Dental Care

Experiencia fantástica: Everyone was incredibly nice. I went in for a filling and I didn’t feel anything. No pain at all. I will highly recommend them to anyone I know

Experiencia fantástica: I just wanted to say something about reviews. If you have a couple hundred reviews and very few are negative, I Personally give very little value to the negative review. I plan on scheduling an appointment with this dentist soon but wanted to share my thought about the reviewing and my opinion

Experiencia positiva: People are very nice. Not a long waiting time.

Experiencia fantástica: Great experience having my teeth cleaned. Cassie is the best! She was very though and gentle in the way she cleaned my teeth.

Experiencia negativa: I made an appointment, completed all new patient paperwork but I still received calls & texts asking for my dental insurance information. I provided all of the information in the new patient paperwork and again gave Harmoni my information to verify my dental insurance via phone call. Again I received a text saying my insurance information was needed. I again provided the front & back of my dental insurance card, at this point I had lost all confidence in this dental practice & opted to cancel my appointment and find a different dentist.

Experiencia negativa: The office staff is not up to the task. Made an appointment and filled out all the paperwork. Then they started calling wanting the exact same info on the paperwork. Then they called or text several times asking for the insurance info (which was on the paperwork). Why have pages of questions if you just going to call several times asking the same things?

Experiencia fantástica: Wonderful friendly, gentle experience!

Experiencia fantástica: Great people, great service!!!

Experiencia fantástica: I’m an Army wife and I’ve gone to MANY dentists over the years. I’ve had less than pleasant experiences because we had to use whoever accepted our military insurance. But I’m thrilled to say that I have never been treated so well as I was yesterday at Hickory Commons! Everyone was so kind, professional, and knowledgeable! I felt very comfortable and I’m so very thankful to have found a new dentist office I can thoroughly trust!!! My husband also had the same wonderful experience!! They are a fantastic team!

Experiencia fantástica: Hickory Commons Dental is an excellent choice for dental care. As someone who values great dental hygiene, I appreciate a practice that focuses on what’s truly needed rather than recommending unnecessary treatments. Dr. Stark is honest, professional, and never makes me feel pressured into procedures that aren’t necessary. What really sets this office apart is the exceptional staff. From the moment you walk in, you’re warmly greeted by the front desk team and made to feel welcome. They clearly explain treatment costs upfront, so there are never any surprises. The dental assistants and hygienists are friendly, personable, and greet you with a smile. The level of customer service is remarkable. You’re personally escorted through each step of your visit—even being walked to checkout and introduced to the payment coordinator. And when it’s time to leave, the same friendly faces at the front desk wish you a wonderful day. From arrival to departure, the entire experience is warm, professional, and genuinely personal. Hickory Commons Dental has created an environment where patients feel valued, respected, and well cared for. I highly recommend them.

Experiencia fantástica: Professional and kind.great service!

Experiencia fantástica: I’m a new patient with a need to develop a plan to correct some dental issues. They listened to my concerns and carefully explained everything to me. Excellent care and very friendly and efficient service! George Goddard

Experiencia fantástica: From the front desk to the hygienist to the Doctor I experienced professionalism and courtesy during my first visit to the practice.

Experiencia fantástica: Great staff, top notch customer service. Highly recommend! Best dentist I’ve ever been to. Finally got things explained to me throughly and they saw issues and recommended extra care with specialty professionals to make sure my son had the care he needed. There is no surface level care here. I felt like they truly had my best interest in mind.

Experiencia fantástica: Excellent dental service and friendly staff!

Experiencia fantástica: Wonderful dental office! The receptionist was super friendly! Elle, the hygienist is fantastic! Dr. Stark the dentist is amazing! Highly Recommend this practice!

Experiencia fantástica: Hickory Commons Dental care is an exceptional place to go for dental work. They do everything they can to make sure that you’re comfortable throughout your visit. I highly suggest them if you have any dental needs. Hickory Commons Dental Care’s Team of doctors and healthcare providers are some of the best healthcare providers I have ever met.

Experiencia fantástica: The hygienist is wonderful. I have a hard time with x-rays and she is very patient with me. I would definitely recommend this practice

Experiencia fantástica: We had an outstanding experience at Hickory Commons Dental! From the moment we walked in, the staff was welcoming, professional, and incredibly kind. The entire team made the visit smooth and stress-free, and they took the time to explain everything clearly without making us feel rushed. You can tell they truly care about their patients and take pride in what they do. The office is clean, organized, and runs efficiently. It’s not always easy to find a dental office that makes you feel comfortable and valued, but Hickory Commons Dental absolutely does. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy, friendly dental team!

Experiencia fantástica: Always an enjoyable experience. Staff is amazing!

Experiencia fantástica: Another 5 star visit with Mrs Cassie!

Experiencia fantástica: I saw Cassie yesterday. My regular hygienist was out ill. Cassie was professional yet very personable. She did an excellent job and it was indeed a pleasure meeting her.

Experiencia fantástica: Very professional staff. Made me feel very comfortable.

Experiencia fantástica: Always very personable and compassionate

Experiencia fantástica: Hickory Commons Dental has alleviated my anxieties about going to the dentist. The staff has always been kind, prompt, and professional with me. Interacting with the staff feels personal in the best way: they know me by name, they remember things we talk about during visits...in short it's clear that they actually care about their patients and take an interest in patients' well-being, even if it's not directly related to the treatment being received. They have always been very flexible with scheduling and getting me seen quickly if I have a pressing issue. On top of all of this, they are extremely good at what they do. I am an Invisalign patient and they are very hands-on with my treatment. Any issues I've had with this process (which have been very few, and never a fault of theirs): they quickly get me in to correct the issue. They really have supported me in every way I could imagine in this process. I really cannot adequately convey how much comfort they've put in me with my dental treatment. Going in for a visit is a pleasure, not a dreadful ordeal. I recommend them 100%!

Experiencia fantástica: Great care and explanation of the process of my dental work.

Experiencia fantástica: Great hygienist (Cassie). Pain free cleanings and she’s got a great personality.

Experiencia negativa: Patient beware! I would have given 0 stars if that was an option! I have Federal Employee Blue Cross Blue shield (BC/BS) coverage which includes biannual exam, X-rays and cleaning. My visit for just X-rays, exam & cleaning was in April 2024. This was my first time using this dental office and found out that they misfiled my claim under Dental insurance rather than my medical insurance which covered the aforementioned dental service twice a year. Since the claim was misfiled BC/BS denied payment. I then had a three way call with this office to explain that it needed to be refiled under my medical insurance. They did NOT resubmit the claim and after 12 months they just turned it over to a collection agency. All other dental offices I have gone to in past 30 years have filed claim correctly and BCBS has paid claim in full. I disputed that I was responsible for the payment of $85 since it was covered under my health insurance plan. Hickory commons dentist and staff ignored the information provided by BCBS and never refilled the claim correctly rather they turned it over to a collection company. I have great credit and tried everything I could to get them to refill the claim correctly rather. They never did resubmit and I got another letter from collection company in Dec 2025 stating I was responsible for the full amount plus a $21 collection fee. My wife and I have made numerous attempts to get them to resubmit but they refused! It’s now been 20 months and I have given up ( even though I have insurance to cover the charges if the office would have just resubmitted it to BCBS as they instructed them to do on a 3way call). Stay away because the staff in charge of filing claims are incompetent and obviously do Not care about their patients! I’m also going to warn all my 500+ neighbors in my subdivision, via a members only email group, and I will post my review on other social media outlets too. When the weather warms up they will see me again, not for an exam & cleaning but rather, holding a “Patient Beware” sign wherever I can legally set up my chair and umbrella near their office, as per my rights as a resident of Cherokee County.

Experiencia fantástica: I always enjoy going here. The people are very kind. The expertise is without question. they keep me on the straight and narrow.

Experiencia fantástica: Hickory Commons Dental is a very trustworthy, reputable and professional organization. Kim was very personable, knowledgeable and professional dental hygienist. I am fairly new to the area and I believe I found my perfect dentist for a long lasting relationship. Thanks Hickory Commons

Experiencia fantástica: I have always been impressed with the staff, hygienists and doctors. Everyone goes out of their way to make you feel comfortable! Highly recommend this office!

Experiencia fantástica: Excellent service and very thorough! Would recommend them to everyone.

Experiencia fantástica: Very thorough exam and cleaning. Very little wait time. Staff is always pleasant and professional. Office is always very clean and orderly

Experiencia negativa: Lobby has a foul odor. Took three patients in front of me and I arrived 10 minutes before scheduled appt. Refused to address my problem unless I forked over $288.00 in X-rays to even evaluate. DO NOT GO

Experiencia fantástica: Very professional, advised what all they are doing, looking at, what they advise. Friendly staff.

Experiencia fantástica: Staff were abundantly patient. I was lost and trying to find their office the wrong town. Luckily, they were able to reschedule me for the same day. Staff was very pleasant and professional. Thank you.

Experiencia fantástica: Staff, Hygienist, and Dentist are all very friendly and professional. I've been coming here for years now and have to say my most positive experiences with dental care have been here!

Experiencia fantástica: Great dentist office. During my visits here, I’ve always been treated very well… Pleasantly and professionally. They go beyond and I’m very happy with this practice. I found this practice after my old one went out of network and wouldn’t accept my insurance. I’m very pleased with the replacement I’be made. I would highly recommend this practice

Experiencia fantástica: Very thankful for them, helping my family and I have the perfect care and health for our dental.

Experiencia fantástica: Great office! I had a cracked tooth and they got me in right away. Dentist and staff are amazing!

Experiencia fantástica: Friendly and efficient staff. Everyone does their best to ensure that all goes well with your visit

Experiencia fantástica: Best place to go get your toothes checked on. I will never go anywhere as long as I live.

Experiencia fantástica: Quick, efficient, courteous service with Miss Cassie. She was as pleasant as always!

Experiencia fantástica: They were extremely kind! They were very professional! One thing that I love about this place is that they always confirm what your appointment is for and how much you are paying out of pocket before you begin! I made a small change to my appointment and then front office lady comes by to double check and notify and immediately updated me on the charges ! To me this is something important, sometimes I won’t understand what I’m being told and recommend things I’ll say yes to but would never know of the charges. By far the best place !

Experiencia fantástica: I really love Hickory Commons Dental Care, they make you feel welcomed and at ease. I am pleased with the Care for my teeth and my well being.

Experiencia fantástica: Staff is friendly and the dentist's top priority is the patient's well-being.

Experiencia fantástica: Very nice . Ellie the hygienist was super polite and did an amazing job !!

Experiencia fantástica: The whole team was great! Felt like we got a really good check up and cleaning for the first time in a long time. So glad we switched over. ❤️

Experiencia negativa: Unreliable scheduling and poor communication at HCDC I had been with HCDC for many years because the dental care was reliable and the staff was friendly. However, since the practice changed hands, over the past year their respect for patients’ schedules has evaporated. Three appointments in a row were wiped off the calendar less than an hour before I was set to arrive, while I was already in the car. And trust me I understand people get sick, they cant control that, but the excuses extend beyond this - missed flights, traffic jams, double bookings, the Dr isnt in today.... and once they even skipped my cleaning entirely, snapped a couple of X-rays and sent me home with an excuse they didnt have time today and would rebook me. I know issues arise beyond control, but HCDC’s chronic understaffing turns last-minute cancellations into routine and they treat your time as if it means nothing. Try to reschedule and phone messages go straight to voicemail, online booking requests disappear into a black hole, I’ve burned through paid time off waiting on appointments, only to watch my slot vanish at the last minute. My workday is disrupted and every cancellation shows a complete disregard for people who carve out time to look after their health. 5 months trying to reschedule and still I'm unable to get an appointment that they honor. If you value your schedule and expect a practice that honors commitments instead of treating cancellations as routine, steer clear of HCDC. You deserve a dental office that answers calls, confirms appointments, and respects the hours you’ve booked - anything less is simply unacceptable. Lastly, this review should not be a shock to them. I’ve had multiple conversations about the repeated cancellations and all I get in response is “mhhmm, yeah, sorry about that"

Experiencia fantástica: Cassie is the best dental hygienist I’ve ever had clean my teeth. Dr. Stark is a wonderful and caring dentist. Highly recommend this dental office.

Experiencia fantástica: Cassie is always the best, she knows my gums can be super sensitive and is mindful to make sure I’m not in any pain! We had the best conversation about Taylor swift & she kept me laughing the whole time which is def not the usual experience at the dentist!

Experiencia fantástica: Being new to Canton, it needed to find a local Dentist. Checking many reviews, I selected Hickory Commons Dental Care. After my first visit today, I'll be going back for sure. Great people, great facility and equipment. Cassie, my Dental Hygienist was very professional as well and personable. Thank you HCDC and Dr Stark for a wonderful Dental experience.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Haley Stark and staff were very courteous, helpful, efficient and competent. I would highly recommend Hickory Common Dental Care.

Experiencia fantástica: I started going here a few months ago bc I chipped my front tooth. They got me in right away, did an amazing job. I was very nervous but they explained everything in detail. From there I set up 2 seperate cleanings, and Cassie has been amazing. I have actually looked forward to my appointments because she makes it fun and does a great job and again, explains everything. I’m so glad I found this place… definitely 10/10 for everything!

Experiencia fantástica: Everyone is always very friendly, helpful, professional and prompt. I never had any pain with my temporary crown. Always very efficient.

Experiencia fantástica: My hygienist, Ellie is the only person that I feel comfortable with cleaning my teeth! She’s the absolute best and is so gentle. Can’t reccomend enough! Dr. Stark was lovely and informative. Overall great office!

Experiencia negativa: Their Accounting office is awful!!! They told my cleaning was covered then they called me a month later, said my account was in collections!!! Without sending me a bill! They told me they were behind in billing.!!! Still waiting on a bill/statement called and emailed several times.

Experiencia fantástica: Friendly professional and courteous staff. Very welcoming and clean environment. My dental hygienist was very thorough and explained everything as she was doing it.

Experiencia positiva: My appointment was canceled after one reminder call that I didn’t respond to. Another call or text to confirm or at least to reschedule me would have been nice. I arrived on time for my appointment

Experiencia fantástica: My dental hygienist Cassie Dunagan is wonderful. I have very sensitive teeth and her hard work to not cause any discomfort during cleaning is fantastic!

Experiencia fantástica: Impressed so far. Easy registration for new patient. Very functional office with great admin staff and especially professionals working directly with me.

Experiencia negativa: The below review is from my wife and her experience. "I had my first appointment at Hickory Common Dentistry as a new patient and my experience was extremely disappointing. I arrived 15 minutes early for my 8 AM appointment, but found the office empty while the staff were in the kitchen, laughing and having fun. Despite calling the office from within the office, no one answered. The staff finally came out at 8 AM and started reviewing my form, only to tell me that my insurance number was incorrect. I promptly contacted my old dentist to send over my file, which included all necessary insurance information and recent X-rays. However, the staff at Hickory Common Dentistry didn't bother checking the file and instead insisted I call my insurance to confirm the information. By the time I provided the information, it was 10 minutes past 8 AM. At this point, they informed me that they couldn't see me because it wouldn't be fair to other waiting patients and canceled my appointment. Overall, I found the service and staff at Hickory Common Dentistry to be very unprofessional and unpleasant. I would not recommend this dentistry to others

Experiencia fantástica: They have the best technology to show me everything that is going on with my teeth. The staff is friendly and good at what they do. A+

Experiencia negativa: They just want your money and won’t do anything to help you out! Was told they will take my $300 for images but can’t guarantee to help even when i called 2 weeks ago and told them my problem! Surprised they are actually still in business! Find a practice that actually cares about the patient instead of their pockets!

Experiencia fantástica: Very good experience. The dentist and the staff were attentive and competent.

Experiencia fantástica: My initial visit went really good…..,…. I attribute it to the professionalism of the dentist, Dr. Stark, and the hygienist, Cassie………. Both put me at ease and answered the questions I asked regarding my future treatment plan.

Experiencia fantástica: This place is perfect for all your dental needs! The staff is kind, it is very clean, and everyone makes your feel at ease and comfortable! 10/10 would recommend

Experiencia negativa: Professional and clean atmosphere. However, I went in for a standard cleaning covered by my insurance and encountered up sales throughout the process. $25 for cancer screening, $38 for fluoride treatment, Invisalign teeth straightening sales pitch and an additional $100+ for non-standard cleaning. I stated, I only wanted my six month cleaning included in my standard dental plan. They refused to provide the cleaning and said that I would need to pay extra for the non-standard cleaning or find another dentist.

Experiencia fantástica: Cassie is the best hygienist I’ve had at a dental practice. She and Dr. Stark are both kind and professional, as are the office staff. Five stars.

Experiencia negativa: Bettina Civil is the worst office manager of all time. I’ve been coming to this practice with my daughters for over 4 years. You could get better customer service at McDonalds. She called me to reschedule my appointment made 6 months ago and when i showed up at the new time i was told i was late and would not be seen! She asked me to leave the premises and hid in her office without looking for any resolution. Disgusting!

Experiencia fantástica: My husband visited yesterday and received cleaning and x-rays. He said they did a great job and very friendly.

Experiencia fantástica: Always a great staff and experience! That’s saying a lot for getting your teeth worked on. Will continue going here!

Experiencia fantástica: I have been going to Hickory Commons Dental for a few years now and it has been mostly a positive experience. The doctors and Hygienist are wonderful!

Experiencia fantástica: I had a dental emergency a few days prior to a family event when my front crown broke. The team at Hickory Commons Dental Care immediately scheduled an appointment for me where Dr. Stark and Gina repaired my smile and saved the day for me. Thank you Hickory Commons Dental Care for always being there for our family!

Experiencia fantástica: Took me at 4:00 when I came in with no appointment because I had accidentally scheduled an appointment at the wrong dentist for my aunt instead! Everyone is very kind and helpful, from the front desk to the hygienists and dentists!

Experiencia fantástica: My favorite dental experience to date! Every staff member was so kind, and I felt like I was a part of the entire process. Totally comfortable to ask questions, never felt like anyone was rushing, and I was called back just minutes after checking in. Overall great experience, and I would highly recommend Hickory Commons Dental Care to anyone!

Experiencia fantástica: My favorite dental practice I have ever been to! Transparent pricing and exceptional staff. Dr. Stark makes the process smooth and stress free. My hygenist Cassie is wonderful and truly cares for her patients. Go here! I will never need to find another dentist and neither should you!

Experiencia fantástica: Hickory Commons Dental has always been friendly, thorough and professional, from the front staff to the dentist. My teeth and mouth are certainly in better shape having been in their care. Thanks.

Experiencia fantástica: As for myself and my wife going to this office for the first time was a very positive experience!! They are all very professional and we'll be going back in October for our follow-up gladly.

Experiencia fantástica: The entire office staff is so patient, kind and considerate. Both my mom and dad in their 80’s with Dementia are patients and I am so grateful for the care they give them and the way they are treated.

Experiencia positiva: It was my first time so didn’t really have any work done. But everyone was very nice and seemed efficient and knowledgeable.

Experiencia fantástica: Thanks for seeing my dad Max Cain on short notice without an appointment. Your staff is very professional and thorough.

Experiencia negativa: I have seen more dentists come and go from here in the last 4 years than to be able to say it was a coincidence. If thats not telling you something then I’m not sure what will. After being seen by yet another brand new dentist after my other one left just 2 weeks after meeting her they tell me they don’t accept my insurance anymore. Mind you I paid my portion of expenses and these absolute thieves have the audacity to send me a bill. To top it all off the first dentist I saw here four years ago tried telling me I had a bunch of cavities when I didn’t and the office tried to go along with it. Not to mention how rude and condescending most of the front office staff are. Truly remarkable

Experiencia fantástica: I recently had a fantastic dental experience at Hickory Commons Dental and wanted to share it with everyone! From the moment I walked in, the staff was incredibly professional and kind. They put me at ease right away, which is important because let's be honest, dentist visits can be nerve-wracking. Everyone I interacted with was friendly and helpful, but I especially want to give a shoutout to Cassie. She was absolutely wonderful! She explained everything clearly, made sure I was comfortable throughout the procedure. The whole team at Hickory Commons Dental is clearly dedicated to providing top-notch dental care. They took the time to listen to my concerns and explained everything thoroughly.They made sure I was comfortable throughout the entire visit. If you're looking for a dentist's office with a professional yet friendly atmosphere, I highly recommend them. You won't be disappointed!

Experiencia fantástica: Hickory Commons Dental Care has provided me with the best and most caring dental care today. Everything from procedures and cost were explained helpfully, which made me feel prepared. I felt listened to about my needs and treatment, and they spent actual time with me. Additionally, I was met with at my appointment time. Honestly, I could have not asked for a better experience. Thank you!

Experiencia fantástica: Dr Stark, Rennia and staff provided the most thorough dental exam I've experienced in 70+ years.

Experiencia fantástica: I love Dr. Stark and her team. They always make me feel comfortable and always wonderful to work with. Wonderful office!
