Richard W. Bates, DDS

"Dr. Bates saw me with very little wait time for an appointment as I had an issue that needed attention due to the situation dragging on for months at my discomfort. I was not a current patient of his. He is professional, personable, takes his time listening to your problem and applied all of his professional knowledge to correct an issue that I thought would need another visit. I was wrong, Dr. Bates fixed every issue I was having right there in the office and I left with a fixed mouth and finally able to eat food without incident. His assistant, Amanda, was great, too. His staff is warm and friendly and very accommodating. I highly recommend Dr. Bates, he truly is great dentist. He is the best."

"Let me put it like this for any doubters. There's going to a dentist and then there's going to see Dr. Bates. Period. You'll never have a better dentist take care of your teeth and have an awesome beside manner better than Dr. Bates and his staff. Everyone there is just great at what they do."

"I am thrilled with Dr Bates — best dentist anywhere! And Shannon is an amazing dental technician! The entire staff at Dr Bates office is top notch! Thank you to all of the staff for taking great care of me and my husband and my son!"

"Dr. Bates runs a busy but efficient practice. Both he and his staff are knowledgeable, friendly and cordial. Dr. Bates has always taken time to be meticulous and thorough each and every time I have had an appointment. I highly recommend this practice."

"I am someone who has dental anxiety bad! I decided to give the 3rd place a shot! Nothing but good reviews! I was scheduled so quickly!! The reception was so polite and welcoming! The 1st visit I was seen by Dr. Katrina Thatch and she and her assistant was lovely! Made me feel so comfortable! I guess 3rd time is a charm! I then got booked with my cleaning the next week! Today I went and seen Shannon and her assistant! They were great! No pain done while cleaning. She talked to me the whole time . Nothing but great vibes! Such a great atmosphere! I look forward and feel so secure with working with this dentist!"
