David S Leslie DMD Family Dentistry

Around 2:30 pm on 10/03/22, my daughter and I were looking for a dentist to set an appointment with. We visited your office , and upon entering we noticed three female employees behind the window. After they noticed we were there , no one spoke , asked if we needed help, or even acknowledged our existence.
After noticing the lady sitting behind the desk saying "what seemed to be a negative comment, and another lady looking up at me like I was the topic of disgust, I decided to leave.
While this was a great learning experience for my daughter , I feel this situation was wrong, and unnecessary otherwise.
While we may be copper colored aboriginals of America , and lack European features, my insurance card is blue, and white , with a shield and your god's cross.
I will educate everyone in my reach about my experience, and where it took place.
Unbelievable.

I'd give negative stars, if possible. As a long time patient, I regularly complained of pain in my rear teeth. In November of 2018 the pain got intense and I had a small swelling in my rear gum. I promptly went to see Dr. Pendleton. X-rays were done and I was told that I did not have a dental problem. As the week went on, the swelling and pain got worse. I went to my family physician and to American Family Care. All doctors besides Dr. Pendleton felt that it was dental... but since he said it wasn't, they kept trying to figure out what else it could be. Within less than one week of my visit to Dr. Pendleton, I could not sleep, breathe, swallow, or drink and had to be taken to the emergency room where I was immediately taken to emergency surgery and admitted for 4 days. It was found that I had a dental related abscess. The tooth ended up having to be removed and was found to be cracked in half. Dr. Pendleton sent me a bill for my visit and also for a procedure related to my daughter (also lost a tooth due to misdiagnoses). I refused to pay it and he pursued the $138 (or so) in court. I had no clue that you had to have an expert witness to claim malpractice (hint hint, if you plan to sue him you can't win without one). I did not win the case... but with the strong moral values that he boasts, I figured maybe he would have some sort of conscience over this whole mess. Nope! I just checked my bank account and it has been garnished by Dr. Pendleton for $531.92 (so far)… no notice that the money would be taken was given. Use my cash as a bookmark in your Bible Dr. P. Sleep well knowing the pain and financial hardship you've caused.

I’ve been very happy with the dental care that I have received from Dr. Leslie

Dr Leslie has been my dentist for a while now. I’m very satisfied with his knowledge and skill in dentistry. He’s a young gentleman who cares about his patients

So far so good, love the care and concern they show at every appointment. The care my son received was not a problem my issue with Dr. Pendleton is trying to charge my insurance company at the time twice when they declined to pay for the service, now they decide to get a lawyer involved garnishment. Beware

I had a appointment on the 16th of August at 11:30 and I was there at 11:15 am, I called the number to let them know that I was in the parking lot and they said that they will send someone out to check me in. Well in the time of me waiting 2 other customers came up and they came out quickly to check them in, so I finally get the assistance attention and let her know that I have been waiting for 30 minutes and the two that came before me was already in and I was there 15 mine. early. The assistance bluntly told me that next time I come that she will put me in a dirty room. When I asked about the 2 that went in before me, she told me that I should have asked them why they were there. I told her that it was not my business to ask them, all I know is that I was 15 mins. early. She walks away and told me to make another appointment. I had been to Doctor Leslie 2 times before with no problems but this day I was openly attacked. I go to the door and asked to see the Doctor and when he came to the door and I explained to him what happened all he said was that he would talk to her and tried to tell me that when he goes to the dentist that he has to wait 10 or 15 minutes. I told him that I had been waiting for 30 minutes with no one communicating with me letting me know what is going on. I was early. I left in tears because I was looking forward to having my work on my mouth done. This was very hard for me and now I have to find me another dentist. 😔😥😪🙏

He has been my dentist since 1991 & I've never had a problem with him. I trust him and his judgement and recommend him to others. The rest of my family are also long term patients. He and his entire staff have always been friendly, courteous, and caring to all of us.

I have been visiting with Dr. Pendleton’s office since I was 10….. I’m now 40!
That explains it. There have been plenty of changes on Atlanta highway over the years but I wouldn’t change dental offices for anything!!!

I really like Dr. Pendleton office, everyone is so friendly. I would recommend this office to others.

Proceed with CAUTION At Your Own Risk. Dental work is mediocre at best. Dr Pendleton twice put on a crown that was defective. Then charged for both the defective crown and the replacement. He uses the Christian title as a cover, will say anything! Every tooth in your mouth is $$ opportunity! He doubled charged for one procedure. He put a crown on a tooth, which broke within days. I told him that insurance would not pay twice for the same work on one tooth. Even though he told me no charge for the defective rework, he billed me twice. He first said I could make payments, then sued for the balance Don’t take a chance on this one! There are far too many dentist in town than to give this office a chance! Definitely a racket going on here
