Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I called with severe pain coming from a tooth
After having my tooth looked at via dentist I was referred to a surgeon. Dr. Brandner did an amazing job helping me become pain-free with no need for pain medication. If I ever need another procedure done, It will definitely be with Dr Craig Brandner!!

My dentist referred me to Dr Brandner one week ago for a tooth extraction. I contacted his office to set up my appointment. Was given a time and date and told I would be required to pay $95 cash for my visit and $107 for any X-ray. I arrived, filled out my new patient forms, only then was told Medicare wasn’t accepted and it would be a cash pay which didn’t work for me. I now know to ask if Medicare is accepted but it should be a qualifier when his office is scheduling new patients. A easy question would have saved us both time and money.

Great experience
From the start of meeting Dr. Brandner and his staff things went very well. His staff explained everything in detailed on how my insurance would cover the procedure because part would be billed under my medical plan and the other part under my dental plan. Dr. Brandner was gentle and made me feel very much at ease before, during and after my procedure. I would highly recommend him to family and friends.

Everything went better than I could have expected. Dr. Bradner and staff were wonderful. Dr. Bradner explained everything in detail about the treatment. Insurance was a bit tricky but the office staff rushed everything and was able to get approval for this. Best experience I could have ever expected.

PATIENT BEWARE!!
Patient beware.....if I could leave zero stars I would. I have no complaint on the procedure. Medical side of the visit was fine. My complaint is with the lack of disclosure on which insurance plan they would bill - dental or medical because Dr. Brandner was in network. They did the insurance verification however they did NOT submit the claim after the procedure. We received monthly bills from them and we had to deal with the insurance company. It was ridiculous. After many, many months of going back and forth, knowing that we were trying to get this straightened out they put us in collections!!!!!! Horrible!!!! Worst experience we have ever had with medical billing. DO NOT USE!

Patient Beware......
Patient beware..... I have no complaint on the medical procedure and ability to resolve the issue. Medical side of the visit was fine. never waited more than 5 minutes for my appointment. My complaint is with the lack of disclosure on which insurance plan they would bill - dental or medical because Dr. Brandner was in network for one insurance but not the other. Thus, be sure to ask which insurance the office will be billing because you could be left with a significant surprise bill that 2-3 times the expected cost.

Had nothing but problems with this this dentist staff (They are incompetent and rude). They call and cancel appointments. Then try and change you $700+ dollar missed appointment fee. Even when I pointed this out and give them the voice mail they left me. They refused to correct the billing. They don't know how to properly bill insurance also. They could care less about the care of a patient, or customer. Go to a better dentist!

Surgery recovery was amazing, however nurse was extremely rude. Didn’t introduce herself, practically threw the laughing gas mask on me, and even dropped the f bomb in the room. Wouldn’t go back specifically because that experience made me extremely uncomfortable.

Dr. Bradner was amazing I have to say! I was scared -- I have dental anxiety to begin with. He put me at ease and when I had post opt issue he fit me right in... right away... and I left feeling so so much better, and when I went in I was almost in tears! After repacking the areas, it made a huge difference so far! Hoping it lasts all weekend so I don't have to worry about it.
