MAHEC Dental Health Center 130 Forest Glen Road, Columbus, NC 28722

"Wow! I waited since October of 2023 to fix a broken filling. This is an half an hour drive, and my daughter had to miss preschool for me to go and FINALLY get my tooth fixed and filled. Now? This isn’t the first time I’ve been yanked around. I’ve been yanked around trying to get my drivers license too and also lots of other times. First of all, is the dentist some kind of Doctor?! Or is he a dentist?! Which is it? Because after 2 misleading and inaccurate blood pressure readings he tried to lecture me about my heart??? I’m here to get a tooth fixed that’s it! If I wanted to schedule a drs appointment I would. The so called “dentist” actually tells me to schedule a drs appointment and I got news for this guy but my Dr doesn’t use those machines because they are inaccurate. My Dr uses the stethoscope and a cuff. My blood pressure usually ranges from 120 to 80 or sometimes 90. That’s why I don’t take blood pressure medication! Second I’ve had every tooth filled here, but for some reason the “ so called “ dentist can’t fix a broken filling all he did was my waste my time and gas. I’m going to try Stokes dental and get it fixed there. I’ll still come here and get my teeth cleaned by Holly because she’s the best hygienist in the world and I love her!"

"Best dental place I've been to in my life. They were all polite, the dentist gave me a step by step understanding of what was wrong and what was going to get fixed."

"My 4 year old had his 1st appointment at Mahec today. They made him feel comfortable and were very good with him. The dentist was great! My son walked out happy! Great experience."

"Where to begin? Let's see... 1. Can't be bothered to answer calls during business hours. When trying to call, I even made sure to call before Noon or after 1pm to respect lunch hours, or even called within the 1st hour that it opened. However, calls are sent directly to a voicemail box that asks you to leave your name, number, & a brief message & that they will get back to you by "the next business day". However... 2. They don't return calls by the next business day , or the one after that, or the one after that, ect... Every other day for almost 2 weeks in a row now, I have called, left my name & number, & a brief message about an appointment that was never rescheduled due to a family emergency. No one even bothers to answer the phone. Avoid here like you would avoid someplace with a COVID cluster."

"I will never set foot in there again. The resident who looked at my teeth was all right, but the dental assistant was offensive. In encouraging me to apply for the discount, she encouraged me to be like her father who does not report his cash income. She is obviously quite proud that he "knows how to work the system". Then she went on at length about how she is not going to get the Covid vaccine, even though her employer now requires it. All of this was said with her face only inches from mine. I waited months for this appointment because I was a new patient, I spent two hours there, and I still didn't get my teeth cleaned."
