My partner is a baby about dental work.(Seriously, who isn’t?) So finding a dentist that’s willing to be gentle and nice is super important. We tried another dentist in town(Oelwein Dental Associates), and everything about it made him really concerned to try another dentist in this area. I’m glad that we did. Berryman has done a fantastic job with us. When I first scheduled to get in, they found an appointment for a new client within a month. Every appointment since then has been made within a month. They happily work with our insurance, and we’ve never had any billing issues. On some procedures, they do work out how much insurance won’t cover(crowns, for example) and ask you to pay that up-front before they do the procedure — which was really odd billing for me, but as long as they don’t double-charge, I don’t really mind. Best of all, Berryman has done really well with him. He lets him listen to music during procedures, he is really friendly and gentle with him, he uses more painkillers when needed, and he generally has been an all-around gentle and fantastic dentist to work with. My partner still doesn’t like going to the dentist, but it’s a whole lot less of a fight. And unlike our previous dental experiences(which left him in pain for at least a week or two afterwards — even on simple cleanings), this one only seems to have about a day of residual soreness and then everything is fine. We’re much, much happier. (FYI: We recently moved to Cedar Falls, and he still comes back here for dental work because he loves it so much.)
