It's hard to say that you like going to the dentist, but every visit here is always so professional and friendly. From Laurie
greeting you with a smile as you check in to Erin, who is my hygienist always doing a wonderful job on my cleanings. Everyone treats you like a friend instead of a patient. Lucky to have Dr. Whiteman in our small county.

I love everyone here. The dentist and the staff are always very responsive to me and do their best to help in any way for their patients.

As a retired dental hygienist and sales representative for a dental manufacturing company and a patient of Dr Whitemans, I highly recommend him. From my professional experience, I can say that Dr Whiteman cares deeply about his patients and uses materials not for a quick buck or fix but materials that will last a lifetime. All of his staff are exceptionally knowledgeable, professional and competent. He also uses state of the art dental equipment with his new digital 3D scanner which will give him the ability to treat simple fillings, root canals, crowns to implants. Not a small town doctor, With Dr Whiteman we have an excellent dentist! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Unfortunately I have the kind of teeth that required a good bit of work throughout my life. This in turn had me visiting multiple dentist as I moved around. I have had terrible experiences and very good experiences through the years. Rex has seen me several times and I can honestly say he is awesome!

I'm not sure what the issue is with the other reviews, but I can't in any way see how they are accurate. I always question when someone does not provide specifics. I have had repair work done on crowns, cleanings, and advice on my issues. Rex and his staff have been excellent. I would, and do, highly recommend Rex.

Folks should be aware of several things before using this dentist. First of all, he does not accept assignment of benefits from insurance companies. In other words, if you go to him and have insurance coverage, he makes you pay the full amount and you are responsible for getting reimbursed, unlike the huge majority of health care providers. There is no mention of this on his website and you won’t know until you check out. Also, he runs such a cheap operation, he does not even have mouthwash available for his patients. Totally bizarre! Lastly, he says his office will file your claim as favor to you. Don’t believe this. In my situation his office says they filed a claim yet the insurance company says they did not. The response from his office is that they did file and they will do nothing else. It is then up to you to file and they want to force you to come to the office and pick up the documents. As a 71 yr old disabled person this places a particular hardship upon the patient. I don’t question his competence as a dentist but his open disdain for his patients from a business standpoint is remarkable. However, he operates in a very small town, with little competition and can get away with it. He is also not in network with many large insurers, including some Blue Cross policies. Lastly, he is not even accredited by the Better Business Bureau, which speaks volumes. So, understand what you are getting when you go to this place. As the old legal axiom says, “Caveat emptor”—let the buyer beware!!!!

yes yes yes. I've been so scared of dentists my entire life I've always had trouble with them being able to numb me. NEVER DOES HE HAVE TO ADD ANOTHER SHOT. I just had Botox for tmj pain today. and I'm so glad I found this man. he's truly a real live tooth fairy but.. you pay him for the best dental work EVER!

The following is a personal opinion based on my interaction with Dr Whiteman's office and 50 plus years of going to the dentist.
My experience today was in a word, horrible! In my opinion, there business practices boarder on unethical. I made an appointment specifically to get a chipped tooth repaired (I've had a bonded tooth repaired many times and it normally takes about 15 min's). Well, it appears they had no intention of repairing my tooth today! Today, I waited 35 min's and got charged $71 Dr Whiteman to look at the tooth and told to make an appointment to get it repaired!
I've probably had chips in the bonding agents used to repaired teeth 10 or more times and never experienced this type of double appointment process and charging. Pretty sure their estimate to repair the tooth was higher than I've historically paid as well.
I called the office following the "exam" and asked for the doctor to call me to discuss the matter. I was told "no" by the receptionist who said was was also the office manager.
Guess I'll leave town to get my tooth repaired!

I really don't see how this business is surviving , prices to high for people in our community , $300 to pull one tooth your out your mind Dr Padgett never charged that much . I'll be going to Dr shrock to get mine pulled for $117
