Heck Family Dentistry of Lawrence

Simply the best! I absolutely hated going to the dentist my entire life until I started going here.

Dr. Welding and his assistant Amy took great care of my son. I was a nervous mamma for my sons first filling but Amy and Dr. Welding were so welcoming, fast and efficient. They answered all of my sons questions and had great conversations with him. He wasn't nervous at all! Thank you for taking such great care of my son.

Zero stars! Ill try to keep this as short as possible, but it is an important warning to anyone considering this office: I feel I was used as practice by Dr. Heck, when he saw he could not complete the wisdom tooth extraction, he called in Dr.Beshore, who after a previous painful and costly procedure done by him, that had to be redone, I requested Beshore not work on me anymore, but I could not protest as I was cut open and bone had been sawed. So Beshore hastily completed the procedure after stating "people are usually sedated for this". He hurriedly sewed me back up, with no real flushing of the wound, and after forcibly jamming (my head was pushed into the headrest) the nearly $300 worth of "PRP" Into the wound. The result? Infection so bad I had a fever of 102 in 24 hours, and was in the ER 4 days later getting an antibiotic IV, luckily I started taking left over antibiotics that I had, as they prescribed none initially, and this kept the infection contained. When i went back in to get the stitches removed and expressed my disgust, Dr. Heck Stated "had i know this was the procedure i was going to do, i would have referred you to an oral surgeon" , HE IS THE ONE THAT LAYED OUT THE PROCEDURES TO BE DONE INITTIALLY! The end result? 4 months later? Thousands in additional costs, apparently permanent numbness in my tongue, and for three months I've had the taste of metal in my mouth, every waking hour. So to conclude, I did have some good experiences there, Dr. Heck could be a good dentist if he stayed in his lane, and I'd drive to Tijuana and drop a 50 spot at "Don's discount den of dentistry, and donuts" before I ever let Beshore touch anything on me again. There Is even more to the story, such as no antibiotics prescibed on another procedure and I lost hearing in my left ear for 6 days, and left with permanant reduction in hearing, but this was obviously the worst, I put off going to a dentist for a very long time, and this kind of stuff was my fear. Now I can't imagine going back into an office. Thanks Heck family dentistry for one of the longest lasting, miserable, expensive, experiences of my life

Dr. Moriarty was terrific and his assistant, Rachel, was absolutely fantastic! She made an otherwise uncomfortable procedure seem like a cake walk!

This was definitely my most in depth routine cleaning visit with a dentist. They took their time, thoroughly cleaned, and everyone was very personable and approachable.

I came to this practice initially due to my anxiety issues with dentistry. All my fears have lessened after the care I received here. My hygienist Ashley is very thorough, which is important to me. Dr. Heck and his staff do their best to make sure I feel comfortable during my visits.

Fantastic group of people. They took great care to provide me with all the information that I asked for about my options, provided immediate and excellent care to include a unique treatment based on relevant science, something I found fascinating. . Love the staff! They treat you like family! I actually ENJOYED my trip to the dentist.

Cannot say enough about the courtesy of all staff encountered as well as Dr. Weldings' willingness to not only answer our questions but was patient with my special needs grandson taking time to communicate directly with him. Dr. and staff supportive and presented possible treatments for my grandson that will enhance his life. Many challenges with medical care of a special needs child/adult and we have experienced good and bad in the last 25 years. This visit was probably one of the best experiences we have ever had. Thank you Dr Welding and staff!!

The staff is very friendly, genuinely cares, provide all available options for the things that a patient needs including prices. The honesty & knowledge the staff shares is awesome! I luv that they ensure u as the patient is fully aware of any problems & provides a plan to ensure the issue(s) will be resolved! ❤️

The medical staff is wonderful and thorough. They seem to truly care and give great treatment plans. The administrative staff on the other hand does not seem competent. They charged me $2100 for treatment. They didn’t check my insurance at all and said it had to be paid before I left. Three months later I get a letter from my dental insurance stating I was on the hook for $200. Heck Dentistry received my insurance’s refund 30 days prior and they never called me to refund the money to me. I called and they seemed to be confused and finally said they would refund my account. I moved to a new dentist who actually checks my insurance first.
