Dr Crawford Tatum is an excellent dental surgeon the staff is also friendly.
Experience was more of a 3.5. I had to have a root canal on a molar, and sedation which is why I went with Dr. Tatum at all. I have no prior history with his office. The ladies are friendly and the procedure itself went well so as to his expertise and the overall environment, I rank them a 5. What really soured the experience was the fact that during my consult, I was told I would be "completely put under." This is what I was looking for and I learned at that time that it would cost $500.00 out of pocket in addition to any root canal charges that my insurance didn't cover. I didn't find out, until I was in the chair, ready for sedation, that full sedation wasn't offered by their office - only IV sedation. This resulted in 4 separate charges of $172.00 per 15 minutes, totaling $700.00 JUST FOR SEDATION. Now the office did credit me a fair amount due to the fact that the root canal did run longer than expected. Unfortunately, I was not informed prior to the procedure and therefore was unprepared for what will be additional out of pocket cost. Per my receipt, the total cost for this procedure was $1,822.00!!!!!! At my consultation (which wasn't even WITH Dr. Tatum), I was informed that my out of pocket responsibility would be $836.14. Even considering the office's insurance payout estimate (which is a high estimate), my new responsibility is $1,313.00 - a difference of $476.86!!!!!!! I give them a 3.5 simply due to the fact that NONE of this was communicated to me AT ALL. This is a big part of why people put off going to a dentist until it's an emergency!
Dr Crawford Tatum did a complete mouth restoration (many implants) for me and I am completely satisfied. A very long process but worth it!
