I've had good experiences with Dr. Mike. However his office staff have repeatedly over billed me. Most recently they told me I had to wait until January to get a needed crown because of insurance. I waited a month for the crown on their advice and then received a $$$ bill because "your insurance renews in August, not January." I should have paid attention to the other patients I've seen fighting with the office staff over billing. Not a good situation.

Always a great experience! I transferred to Howard several years ago after being with another office for 20 Years. I have never looked back. I love the quality of care they give. I took my toddler for her introductory appointment today and it went very well. Thank you Howard Statesboro!

Professional yet fun staff! Very respectful and a diverse workforce that puts you at ease. Very quick and efficient; my cleaning only took about 30 minutes. Fantastic experience!

Everyone was so welcoming & kind! I forgot my hygienists name but she was 12/10 & Dr.Rachel was the sweetest. I had an amazing experience and can’t wait to be back in 6 months. They were able to fit me in ASAP and my teeth feel squeaky clean! All of my concerns were addressed & I feel satisfied.

I was searching for a dentist near my daughter's school since she is a sophomore at GA Southern University and only had a hometown dentist. I made an appointment for her, and we were able to schedule it for the following week. Although she was nervous about going alone, she said that the staff and the dentist were very welcoming. They explained her needs and the services provided, which helped put her at ease during the visit. She really appreciated the experience and plans to return for her cleaning in six months.
