Skaggs, Dan E, Dds - Dan E Skaggs Pa

After some bad experiences in the past with other dentists (and five years without a dental check-up!) I randomly chose Dr. Skaggs from my insurance provider list, made an appointment, and hoped for the best. I was not disappointed. The waiting area was nice - it had a large TV and lots of reading material, and there were TV's in the ceiling to watch in the back rooms. The staff was very professional. Dr. Skaggs worked up a treatment plan for me and was not pushy about anything. He did not offer any cosmetic services like teeth whitening, etc. He was very friendly, and had a great sense of humor. My husband and I have been going to Dr. Skaggs for six years now, and have never had any problems with him or his office. When I have had any large out of pocket costs that weren't covered by insurance, the office has offered payment plans. There were one or two times where I had problems with claims being paid properly by my insurance, and the billing person was great to work with until things got resolved. They did not call me demanding payment, sending collection letters, etc. I have never had to wait longer than a couple of minutes in the waiting room before going to the back room - they always run on time with appointments. Their turnover is non-existent...the same people have been working in their office since I started going there, which says alot about Dr. Skaggs as an employer. Without a doubt, I would recommend Dr. Skaggs to anyone looking for a professional office and a good dentist. Pros: Professional office, great staff more

I went to see Dr. Skaggs because my partner sees him and so does our physician neighbor and both had great experiences. He was very professional, kind, knowledgable and did not push any services (like cosmetic brightening, etc) that others have always tried to do. I am happy to finally have a dentist that I like from the moment I walk into the door, until the moment I walk out. Don't know what could have happened to that negative feedback patient... Pros: excellent staff, kind dentist, nice office more

I TOO AM A ""DENTAL WIMP."" DR. SKAGGS OFFICE PERSONNEL AND DENTAL STAFF ARE ALL EXCELLENT AT WHAT THEY DO. THEY ARE SENSITIVE AND ATTENTIVE. DR. SKAGGS IS PERSONABLE AND COMPASSIONATE. HIS WORK IS HIGH QUALITY. ONE OF THE BEST DENTISTS I'VE EVER BEEN TO. HE SPEAKS IN A COMFORTING, RESPECTFUL TONE ALWAYS! HE DOES PRESENT YOU WITH A TREATMENT PLAN IF HE SEES THAT YOU NEED A GREAT DEAL OF WORK, YOU CAN FOLLOW IT OR NOT. Pros: PERSONABLE, COMPASSIONATE, HIGH QUALITY Cons: HE DOESN'T PULL TEETH. more

If you are looking for a super nice dentist, that will listen to your concerns, get you out of pain, quickly assess your problem and make your dental experience a great and pleasant one, KEEP LOOKING!!.. I went to Dr. Skaggs with a dental problem (pain, uncomfotable)..I had NEVER met this man in my life, I was a new patient. I thought his office was nice, state of the art and upon first going in, thought his staff was extremely friendly...silly me, thought he would be too. His dental tech took X-rays, got me ready for him to see me but when he came in to see me, that's when I knew I made a bad decision. He immediately yelled and screamed at me for the condition of the rest of my teeth, not even the one I was in pain with. He treated me like a 5 yr old...I was embarassed thinking of the people in the waiting room who could hear this grown man having a temper tantrum. As I said, my FIRST time meeting this man...His tirade lasted about 10 minutes, during all of this he NEVER examined my tooth I was having a problem with, instead he left the room and had his staff present me with a $6000.00 treatment plan. I was and still am very ANGRY with the service I received in this office. His statement was to basically take out loans and finance till I went in debt in order to let him fix my teeth. NO THANK YOU!!!!! I have since found a dentist who is very nice, patient and doesn't push thousands of dollars worth of cosmetic dental work down my throat. Which is what Dr. Skaggs primarily is into, cosmetic dentistry. AVOID if you have a TRUE dental problem...he will refer you out , let someone else do the work and collect money from you and the insurance company for doing nothing. I guess he does have to pay for the T.V.s in the ceiling. Just a side note to this horrific experience, I have reported him to my insurance company and the ADA. Pros: State of the art office Cons: Chair side manner is Atrocious. more

I have used Dr Skaggs for over 2 years now and really do not mind going to the dentist. I am not good in the dentist office, but this bunch is great. His employees are very good with ""dentist wimps"", and I am the Queen of the bunch. :) Dr Skaggs is easy going and a pleasure to be around. Great chair-side manner. I recommend the office. Pros: Great with dentist chickens! Cons: Cannot think of anything. more
