Dr. Andrea Montgomery

Dr. Andrea Montgomery is the consummate professional. She is very thorough but not pushy. Her excellent leadership is demonstrated by the professionalism of the staff. Kallie did an exceptional job with the X-rays and cleaning of my husband's teeth. Kallie was very attuned to not causing pain because of the sensitive nature of his teeth. Likewise, Kristi cleaned my teeth better than they have ever been cleaned by other dental hygienists.

Background: I was a patient of the clinic for many years (back when her dad was the dentist). I have never had anesthesia for fillings or cleanings in my life because there isn't a need. Reason for low review: We had a snow storm earlier this month, and she closed her clinic Thu & Fri because of it. She is closed Sat & Sun. I had been dealing with a low-level pain for a month using self-care. As luck would have it, the pain intensified that Wed night. I was unable to close my mouth or eat. Just touching the tooth with floss was excruciating. The clinic opens at 8 AM. When I didn't receive the call I was expecting, I called in and was told she doesn't arrive in until 9. When I finally got the call at 10 I was told I had to wait until Wed. I found an emergency dentist who could see me in 30 minutes, so I went to him. He told me I had fractured a root, would need antibiotics and at least a root canal. He got me in to see the endodontist a few hours later. I was told the tooth needed to come out & have an implant placed. By the time I saw the endodontist, the pain was still severe, but not excruciating (the antibiotics and naprosyn had kicked in). Once I saw the oral surgeon & had the dates, I called back to Montgomery's clinic to give them the update. I was informed that I was no longer going to be seen by Andrea because I went to another dentist when she couldn't fit me in. Her receptionist was very apologetic, saying she told Andrea several times that my pain was excruciating...Andrea simply didn't care. As a patient, I am stunned by her selfish callousness. As a physician, I am appalled by her rudeness, lack of empathy, and lack of professionalism. The truly sad part about this is that the hygienist I usually went to is AWESOMENESS personified. The front desk staff are top notch. Andrea does not deserve such loyal people!
