The whole experience was a mess. Tried to book an appt online, after 2 days w no response I called and told the woman that I would be a new patient, needed a cleaning and would like an overall check up to discuss work I knew needed to be done. She asked if I was in any discomfort - and apparently this is where things went wrong - I told her I had periodic sensitivity that might be a cavity, it was one thing I'd like looked at. She apparently then booked me for an Urgent Care apt, but never told me that - I waited 2+ weeks for the apt so it never occurred to me this was a rush apt. Got to the apt and had to listen to Christmas music a week before Thanksgiving, patients in the waiting room all bonded over how irritating the music was and then how long each of them had been sitting there waiting past their scheduled apts. The Dental Tech and Dentist were fine, good at explaining everything, etc. The dentist let me know what work I'd need done and it was to be expected - what was NOT expected was that I'd just been showed out without a Cleaning or anything else done. A Cleaning and New Patient Exam each have to be separate visits, then the work itself a 3rd visit - so without insurance I just paid $165 to have almost nothing done and be told to make 2 more apts to do what I'd booked to begin with & then another for the actual work. The estimates are insanely high - like crazy, crazy high. 40% more than I paid for dental work in NJ - literally the only thing in MD that costs more than NJ since we moved 15 mos ago. Every single decent dentist I've ever worked with has been far kinder to those without dental insurance than you will find here. No one should pay more than $300 for a Cleaning!

They explained I'd been given an Urgent Care apt...so follow this, if you need Urgent Care here you will wait more than 2 weeks to be seen & evaluated & then have to make additional appts to get the work done at a later date. So understand that Urgent Care at this facility means a minimum 3 week wait, and that's when they speed things up. And that's assuming they book you right to begin with and listen to anything you've said.

I have dealt with this office for a number of years and have always been generally satisfied but felt that unwanted & unnecessary services were aggressively promoted. My son was told he had three cavities but when he went to have them filled, a different doctor could not find them all. I had a filling replaced which have never bothered me but accepted the doctor's advice. After two attempts the new filling is still a bother with food trapped between teeth. Service has always been good & friendly with appointments kept on a timely basis. There is just a lack of confidence.

I could not be more pleased with my experience at Carroll County Dental Associates. From the front office staff to the hygienist and of course Dr. Wilkerson, I was treated with dignity and respect throughout every visit. I spent several years neglecting my dental health and Dr. Wilkerson has been incredible kind, patient, and professional throughout my treatment. I have been dental phobic for years and Dr. Wilkerson listened to my concerned ensured that I was completely comfortable and happy during all my treatments. I have brought my whole family to this practice and everyone I've interacted with has been positive, pleasant and sincerely dedicated to making patients happy.
