My husband had his first surgical procedure for the implant process today and we were very pleased with the care from Dr. Beasley’s staff. He was well prepared, the surgery went very smoothly and they have stayed in touch checking on him. Surprised and very thankful for such attentive care which seems so rare these days.

This office is incredible. I’ve been having horrible tooth pain for about a week and a half, and am leaving on vacation tomorrow. I saw my regular dentist and an endodontist to get 3d mapping done and figure out which tooth it is. Both those offices told me they thought it was a specific tooth, but didn’t really explain why (despite two teeth being very painful). I need a root canal though. Called probably 10 dentists and endodontists around here and Huntsville/Madison and none could fit me in before I leave. But Dr. Beasley, that absolute angel, he said he could! Savannah helped me get in with him, worked hard to get images from another office and called me back promptly with updates and made sure all questions were answered and I had what I needed. So I went in today and they did more imaging, exhaustive testing on both teeth, isolated the one that needed the root canal and explained why, in detail. I also found out I had an abscess in that tooth! That could have went very wrong while I was out of town. Then, they called me several hours after the procedure to check on me and see if I was doing okay and if I needed anything from them! I can’t remember the last time I’ve received care like this from a medical professional. I’m a grown woman with severe dental anxiety. He was so gentle and kind. His hygienist, Myleigh, was as well. She even offered to hold my hand during the Novocain shots. I wish I could express how amazing this office is. Everyone went above and beyond with compassion and respect and recognized the sense of urgency. I will be switching my whole family over to this office for future cleanings and dental care!
