I'm a new patient my first appointment was today all of my teeth need pulled about 20 of them they are just about all abscessed I stay in pain I had an appointment for today I go in the office he was great as far as bedside manners everything else he was just but had I known I wasn't going to get an appointment to have them pulled until almost a year away from now I would have went somewhere else I feel like if they would have told me there were no appointments available until almost a year I probably would have went somewhere else but now they've got my x-rays and I can't wait a yearhe's that busy and a patient can't be seen in almost a year maybe he shouldn't get any more patience or at least any very disappointed

Loved going here until 3 separate times I showed up for my appointment and was told I did not have an appointment, which I did or the dentist was out and no one called me to let me know. It was very unprofessional, even when I proved proof of the mistake. Glad we are gone from there

I've been going to Dr Sweeney for almost 4 years and I know that his work is awesome ! ! ! Nancy the front desk receptionist is very kind and helpful & friendly. If you have a dental issue or other urgent dental matter she always makes sure she gets you an appointment same day or she will call you if someone cancels. Dr. Sweeney is down to earth, that's another reason I like going to Dominion Dental, I've never been somewhere that the dentistry work he does is so GENTLE that we all laugh and joke while hes fixing my tooth!! They accept most major insurances , also dental plans They have a care free credit card there you can apply for and get credit ranging from 200$ up to $50,000 .

Not only can you use the carefree credit card for your dental work, it will work for copays, codeductubles, coinsurance with any other medical professional . Even can use it at your pharmacy . Nancy will provide you with the best care plan and health plan/insurance to fit your personal type needs I saw one dentist my whole life from the time I was born up until I was 42 , he passed away in 2016 that's when I found this wonderful dentistry !!! Couple other things that I feel are worth mentioning . The cleanliness of the office and work space and lobby are always sanitary and clean!! They are concerned about your smile and they will work you up a personalized care treatment plan to ensure your getting quality, skilled dental care Dr.

Sweeney is gentle as well. If you have dental anxiety he is very patient and soft spoken and makes you feel comfortable and like family I reccomend Dr. Sweeney to anyone who wants excellent quality dental work done in a clean , family friendly environment. This is the place for YOU!!
