  Corning Dental Associates have provided my dental care for more than 40 years — a totally positive experience each and every year. Their response to Covid is typical of their professional competence; they implement best practices based on facts, they communicate quickly and personally, and earn the trust of their patients every day. Thank you Dr. Lynn Merriweather, Rachel, Marsha, and all the other staff who have helped me. David Youst

  Nice office and easy to find. Staff were super nice. The reason for my low rating is the service. They advertise that one of there treatments is availability of crowns. When I made my appointment, I informed them what the issue was. A fractured molar. When I got there, 3 x-rays were performed. Then the Dentist informed me that she couldn’t do my Crown because they only do simple, straight forward Crowns. She said she was going to refer me to a specialist. I am a medical professional. I pay my dental bills out of pocket. When the word “specialist” is used that means a lot of $ are about to change hands. Being as I was already out a days pay(I’m self employed and I don’t get paid to take time off)., I thought it reasonable to get a second opinion.
  The next Dentist I saw, a week later said “she said what?, this couldn’t be any more straight forward.” It is worth noting that Corning Dental Associates is well regarded in that community. So, either I happened on a new hire Dentist there that doesn’t know how to read x-rays and recognize a straight forward treatment or, they are fleecing the people who choose them for dental care. I’ll let the readers of this review decide.

  I brought my 2 year old in for her first ever dental visit. Dr. Meriwether was not at all patient with her. Before the visit, I did my best to prepare my daughter by watching videos and playing dentist, but she was still anxious about the new experience. Instead of empathizing with a nervous little girl, Dr. Meriwether said things like "if you scream, it will scare the other little kids", "there is no screaming allowed at the dentist because it's not scary" and "it's not scary so don't scream." If she would have taken 5 minutes to say hi to my daughter, introduce herself, show her what she was going to do, etc instead of expecting a young child to act reasonable, the whole experience would have been much better.

  I went to Corning Dental up until I moved away after college, and I just became a patient again after nearly a decade. I've moved around a lot in the past 10 years and have been to many different dentists; Corning Dental is BY FAR the best. They really take time to get to know their patients; my hygienist remembered me from 10 years ago! Dr. Vargas probably spent a half hour examining me; at Aspen Dental, I'd literally see the dentist for 2 minutes, and I never had the same dentist twice (BTW, avoid going to Aspen at all costs).

  My first visit to Corning Dental was December, 1976. Over the years I've been treated by just about every dentist there with Dr. Bates as my primary professional and more recently Dr. Vargas along with literally dozens of dental assistants as well.
  I have always been treated professionally and competently and in a friendly manner too. True professionals here at the patient chairs and by the wonderful women in the front office too.
