We had a consultation with Dr. Tate regarding the removal of several of my daughter鈥檚 baby teeth and molars as recommended by our orthodontist. Dr. Tate evaluated the case and suggested that removing the molars at this time may not be the best option. There was some initial confusion regarding the orthodontic plan. We appreciated Dr. Tate called and discussed with our orthodontist to clarify and resolved the concerns. We are also impressed by his patience and professionalism in explaining to us the advantages and disadvantages of proceeding now versus waiting, as well as making sure we fully understood the options. We truly appreciate the time and care he took to guide us and help us make a confident decision. We also the patience and professionalism that we have experienced with the nurses at the clinic.

I've had two tooth extractions with Dr. Tate: both were painless! Dr. Tate is patient, gentle, thorough, and really works with you throughout the entire procedure. His work and office equipment are up-to-date and professional, and he clearly cares about his patients' well-being. The office staff and nurses are unfailing pleasant and positive. And for my latest cracked tooth (with a lot of pain) just before Christmas, Dr. Tate worked me in to remove that tooth on Christmas Eve! Highly recommend!

A warm, friendly atmosphere walking into office. Not over crowded or rushed. During procedure great concern how I was tolerating it. Dr Tate called me at home to follow up how I was doing. Concern about pain level, any reaction with follow up meds, problems eating. Never had a doctor or dentist before show that type concern or care for his patient. The BEST馃憤馃憤馃憤馃憤

Dr. Tate and all office staff were kind, caring, and professional. It was a challenging situation, but Dr. Tate clearly expressed risks and benefits of surgery and called to check up on me after hours multiple times after the procedures. It was comforting to know they were invested in my care and recovery.
