Charge too much

by rl56 at Citysearch

I try to find a good dentist in Charlotte, and I saw the overall review for Dr Clark was pretty good, so I decided to give a try. The service is okay, but the fee is very expensive. For an annual X-ray and a general cleaning (not a deep cleaning), the fee is almost $300 (twice the industry average). My insurance company only willing to pay $200, so I end up paid almost $100. So I strongly not recommend this dentist unless Dr. Clark is in the network of your insurance company, you will ended up pay a lot out of pocket.

Great dentist

by gcaulder at Citysearch

It's hard finding a good dentist. I've had quite a bit of dental work over the past few years via various dentists in Charlotte, and I've finally found one I'm comfortable with courtesy of Dr. Hammock and his great staff.

Previously, I've felt that dentists have either done inadequate jobs, and/or provided me with information that I wasn't sure I could trust in order for them to make a dollar. My last dentist's office had a rather rude front desk staff with whom I didn't feel like communicating on a regular basis.

Dr. Hammock's office is small, which I enjoy, and the staff is tremendous. Heather, the front desk attendant, is very warm, friendly, and makes you feel welcome. My hygenist Samantha is great to talk to and is very down to earth and kind. Dr. Hammock himself takes his time to do the job correctly, and awesome I may add. I've recently had two crowns done, and I'm very happy with the results. I haven't had any problems post delivery. A dentist trip isn't always fun yet I never dread it anymore because I'm made to feel welcome. The office is also really very good at working you in on short notice. I feel as if Hammock genuinely cares about his patients and doing a good job instead of treating his patients like another paycheck in waiting.

I also like that the office isn't decked out with fancy electronics and posh decorations--you can get solid, quality and professional dental work that looks great without a high percentage of your money going towards expensive televisions and fancy chairs. I'd reccommend Dr. Hammock and his staff to anyone. I'm hoping the entire staff stays in Charlotte for quite a while as I'd hate to do anymore dentist shopping in the near future!

• Pros: friendly staff, great work
• Cons: none

Your feedback is greatly appreciated!

by DrHammock at Citysearch

This is Dr. Hammock. I didn't realize the feedback I receive online until a patient called my attention to it. I certainly appreciate any feedback I can gather about my office or myself. Thank you to all who have submitted. The pro's are flattering and the con's help me realize areas where I can improve my professional manner. If you are an existing patient, thank you. If you are a prospective patient, I hope to meet soon. Thank you again for this great resource of information.

P.S. Unfortunately a rating is required to post, so I will attempt at an unbiased 3 stars!

Too much emphasis on cosmetic dentistry

by WH at Citysearch

This office puts too much emphasis on cosmetic dentistry. I do not like to go to the dentist and it has been too long since my last appointment. I am in need of fillings, etc. but was made to feel as if I should be ashamed and more emphasis was placed on my supposed cosmetic needs.

I would also be weary of all of the positive reviews on this board because this office likes to stress the postive reviews.

• Pros: Convenient Location
• Cons: More emphasis on cosmetic dentristry

Comfortable Family Care

by niner01 at Citysearch

I was a little apprehensive trying to find a new dentist, but this office seems to be the right fit.The staff was very warm and Dr. Hammock was very professional. He made both my daughter and son feel very comfortable during their appointments. Now I'm coming for my checkup.
