I've been contemplating whether or not I should post my review, but every time I think back to my first interaction with Dr Tate and his hygienist, I get upset.
I came to Dr Tate with some dental issues, obviously. I have severe depression and it makes it hard to take care of my teeth. When I told this to him and his hygienist, they didn't really care. I felt judged and I didn't feel like anything I said mattered. I went back a second time, he ground my gum away and told me it would grow back...months later it still has not.
I have avoided dentists because of the shame I carry with my mental health and this was just another experience that will keep me from getting the care I need.
If you have mental health conditions that keep you from taking care of your teeth, don't come here.
I did not feel valued or cared about.

I live 30-40 minutes away from Dr Tate office and I was trying to find a closer office to my home and leave Dr Tate . I called a closer officer and the receptionist of this closer office, was throw off by my accent and repetitive reminded me they only take real insurance no Medicare, after i confirm i had insurance. When this person asked if I want an appointment I have to tell her No Thank you. That Dr Tate receptionist is kind to me and she is worth it for me to drive. If I am having communication issues at this point I can't even imagine..It was interesting the receptionist understood that very well.
Thank you Dr Tate for having a competent staff I will keep driving my family there

I'm no stranger to the dentist chair. Dr. Tate has been my most favorite dentist so far and hope he is here to stay. The staff is professional and super friendly. They make a visit to the dentist pleasurable.

I have been going here many years and Tate taking over was a smooth transition. Hygienists are always friendly and schedules flexible.
