I recently visited Meridian Center for Oral and Facial Surgery and wanted to share my positive experience.
From the moment I arrived at the clinic, the friendly staff and welcoming environment made me feel comfortable. Dr. Drummond took the time to explain the procedure in detail, addressing all my questions with clarity and patience. The staff was attentive and ensured I was at ease throughout the process. The cost was explained to me in detail so I was not surprised by any amount that I had to pay. I had minimal discomfort after the surgery, and the follow-up care was excellent.
I highly recommend Meridian Center for Oral and Facial Surgery for anyone needing dental surgery; their dedication to patient care and quality outcomes is unmatched! I am so happy to have my confidence back.

I was billed 203.00 to be told how much it would cost to pull some teeth. I tried to pay the day of visit they said I didn't owe anything so when I get bill I call them and they told me they had to bill insurance before I could pay for visit. Now the kicker is this they would not pull my teeth without 3500.00 up front before they billed my insurance . That makes zero sense to me So what they are saying is we pick and choose when we let u Pay. Very unprofessional practice in my opinion

Terrible experience. My appointment was 2 pm but they kept me waiting for an hour. The nurse is super rude, and she didn’t listen. After I had a super short talk with the doctor, I was left in the room waiting, while the staff were chitchatting outside the room. Until I came out of the room, stopped their chitchatting, and asked what to do next(wasted over 15 minutes here), the doctor asked someone to take care of me. They charged a lot for useless information I got here.
I’d rather have bad teeth than visiting here. Wasted both my time and money

Took my son in to have surgery. Surgery went well, I was told the price would be 2700 dollars which was paid prior to him having surgery. A month later I get a bill for more money. Called to ask why I was being billed and was given the run around. Then hung up on.
