Reviews
"It is the only place that takes my insurance for dental and they are not taking new patients and I need dentures"
"The work being done by this non-profit is truly inspiring. They are making a real difference in the lives of people who might otherwise go without medical care. What's more, they do it all with a smile and a sense of genuine caring. I have seen firsthand the impact they are having on the community. If you are looking for a worthy cause to support, this is definitely one to consider."
"**MOVED TO 1916-*** brookside drive behind Indian path medical center. Awesome got me in very quickly for dental after months of trying to find a place to go."
"Be very very careful. I broke a tooth over a year ago. I made an appt. They didnt have one for 5 MONTHS! The tooth was cutting my tongue.I had to see a dentist outside of the clinic to smooth the edges. $125.00! 5 mons. later I go to my appt. to be told they canceled my appt because I hadnt had a cleaning. I had to clean before the dentist would see me. 4 months before I could get a cleaning!at that time I would get an appt for the dentist They changed my appt without consent and I had to resch. Again. My tooth has broken 2 times more during this time and now cannot be saved. But they did keep my cleaning appts with no prob. Alot good that did me"
"I highly recommend Friends in Need on West Stone Drive when trying to save a dollar for your general dental concerns. With each visit I receive outstanding care and respect for my time and well being. Good golly, you won't even feel it happening. Everything is explained thoroughly so that you'll never wonder, "what do you mean?" I've yet to walk away thinking, "I don't understand." It is my strongly held view that these kind and sharp ladies deserve the recognition and appreciation of all these fine communities. Sincerely and with gratitude."
