Excellent staff! This is not our regular dentist however they saw my son for an emergency quick visit and everyone greeted us with a smile and made us feel welcome! Dr. Bates was very kind and understanding and explained things for my son before his minor procedure.

I was pleasantly surprised when I started going to Dr. Bates. I had been going to a dentist in Petersburg and had problems with fillings falling out over and over. Dr. Bates is an expert dentist in every way. I now have no problems with fillings at all. The other dentist tried to make me feel it was my fault that the fillings were coming out. She also charged me huge fees for these fillings. Dr. Bates makes going to the dentist a pleasant experience. He knows all of the latest practices, uses the BEST equipment and solutions for what he does. He always takes you in immediately on time for your appointment. He is gentle and makes you feel totally comfortable. He communicates with you with great attention to detail. He gives you a write-up that shows what work he is proposing and the cost of each procedure before hand. His aim is to work with the patient in every way. Dr. Bates is very kind, thoughtful, and is able to take care of your every need. There is never any pain or discomfort when being cared for by Dr. Bates. I am 78 years old, and he is by far the best dentist I have ever been to in all of my life. I highly recommend him!

After my dentist of 30 years retired, I was dreading trying to find a new dentist. I tried the one that purchased my dentist's practice, but didn't get a good feeling from the staff or dentist. I was then recommended to Dr. Bates. Such a warm comfortable feeling as soon as I walked in the office. Dr. Bates was also very personable, introduced himself and listened intently while I reviewed my history and some issues I was having. I now feel great that I have a wonderful dentist to take care of me! His office is very up-to-date, clean and open (pretty view from the dentist's chair). I'm very happy to have found Dr. Bates and would recommend him and his office to everyone!

Great staff, clean office and Dr. Bates is a great Dentist. I do not handle needles in my mouth very well, as most don't however Dr. Bates is always great making those experiences with needles as easy and painless as possible. If he is taking patients, get an appointment while you can!

Always the professional yet down to earth, Dr. Bates is a skilled, achieved, and seasoned dentist that administers quality care showing dedicated, personal concern for each of his patients. Having used Dr. Bates as our family dentist for several decades, I’d not want anybody else attending to my dental needs.
