Detailed Introduction

The Jane Pauley Community Health Center, Wigwam Dental, located at 1229 Lincoln St, Anderson, IN 46016, is an integral part of the broader Jane Pauley Community Health Center network. This facility functions as a clinic, offering essential dental services as part of a comprehensive healthcare approach. The Jane Pauley Community Health Center itself is a non-profit Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC), a status awarded by the Health Resources and Service Administration (HRSA) in 2011. This designation allows them to provide affordable healthcare, including dental services, to all individuals, regardless of their ability to pay, through a sliding fee scale based on family size and income. The Wigwam Dental clinic specifically focuses on dental care, providing services such as routine cleanings and examinations, periodontal treatment, fillings, restorations, sealants, and extractions. For more complex dental procedures like root canals, dentures, crowns, and implants, they offer referrals to affordable partnering organizations. Beyond dental care, the larger Jane Pauley Community Health Center offers a wide array of integrated healthcare services, including family medicine, pediatrics, OB/GYN, and behavioral and mental health services. They also provide onsite blood draw and lab services, and have recently launched their own pharmacy services. A key aspect of their mission is accessibility. They accept Medicaid, Medicare, and most commercial insurance plans, and crucially, no one is denied service due to inability to pay. To further support their patients, they offer free assistance with health insurance enrollment (including Indiana Medicaid, Healthy Indiana Plan, Medicare, and Marketplace insurance), financial aid applications, and prescription assistance. They also provide support with language interpreters and community resources like bus passes and food pantry access. The Jane Pauley Community Health Center, named after Emmy-winning TV personality Jane Pauley who advocates for children's and mental health, has been serving central Indiana communities since its founding in 2009. The Wigwam Dental Center in Anderson opened in October 2017 as part of their expansion efforts.

Friendly staff. Very deceptive business practices. They tell you $20 and they will bill you IF there is any more. They won't give a cost when you get there.

They get you back in the chair, then they dance around about the cost. They tell you they are nonprofit and when you continue to push the issue, they try to charge more than 2 regular dentists I had already checked with. Somebody is making a profit or people that have some income are paying for the ones who don't.

Very friendly staff, always made me feel comfortable & welcomed. I had a tooth extraction in January, which took only 20 minutes. It has healed up very well with no infection or dry socket.

They also allowed me to be on a monthly payment plan, along with some sort of discount due to my low income and no insurance at the time. I highly recommend this clinic for others in similar situations as myself.

The only reason I am even giving this place 2 stars is the fact that the entire staff was very nice during the visit. However, I was told on the phone it would only cost $20 for the visit and that, should we decide to do any work, they would accept payment plans and go over the costs with us (during the visit, we were told they did not accept any payments plans). When we got there, we went over the treatment plan from another dentist and the dentist reviewed the X-Rays that we brought ourselves.

The doctor asked if we wanted to have our teeth cleaned "real quick" and we said sure (mistakenly assuming that it was included as he never once mentioned how much it cost). The cleaning consisted of some high powered water and a quick polish. 2 weeks later we receive a bill for $80 for the cleaning and $75 for the exam that I was told was covered by the $20.

So if you do decide to go there, make sure you ask exactly how much EVERYTHING costs before they even touch you. I would have much rather went somewhere that provided thorough work for the price.

My daughter is 2 and has autism. I was extremely worried she would need to be sent to a specialist and put to sleep due to her biting and just being very strong. They were extremely patient and quick. They helped me hold her perfectly. I was so pleasantly surprised with how smooth it went.
