Dental College of Georgia

Review of Dr. Tara Schafer – Dental College of Georgia i honestly don’t even know where to start. im not the type to write reviews but after everything that happened, i just cant stay quiet. we trusted dr. schafer and the team there to handle something that should’ve been routine and careful. instead, it turned into a total mess. stuff happened that shouldn’t have. things that don’t add up. and every time we tried to ask questions or understand what was going on, we got brushed off. or told something different than before. honestly felt like they were just covering themselves. records didn’t match up with what we were told. things weren’t explained until after they were already done. and for a patient with a serious medical history? that’s just not okay. it’s scary. then—when we pushed for answers, when we tried to make sense of it all—they cut us off. no more care. just like that. after everything. i’m exhausted. emotionally drained. and my kid deserves better. families deserve better. if you’re considering going here and your child has complex needs or health conditions, please please ask everything. get stuff in writing. triple check. don’t assume anything. i wish we had.

My student, Anna Lee, is perfect. I’m a dental coward and am pretty uptight about having even the simplest cleaning done but she is so supportive and gentle and upbeat and communicates very well , stopping regularly to ask how we’re doing. Love her energy and friendliness. As for the school and program as a whole, waiting room time is nowhere near what I was told to expect and the prices they charge for procedures are so reasonable. Very thankful for the program.

Evil, evil, evil institution. I have been getting bills from the Dental College of Georgia for two years straight and have been under the impression they've been spam because the only line item on them has been "previously owed balance." I've tried calling the phone number on the bills and no one has ever picked up. Recently I got a letter that I've been sent to collections and finally got a working phone number through the collection agency. The woman I talked to said the phone number on their bills doesn't actually go through the their clinic, so no one at that phone number would have actually been able to answer my questions anyway. Now that I finally have the correct information that this is from a biopsy I had done two years ago (and wasn't told about by the oral surgeon who sent it in for me), the statute is past for me to submit the bill to my insurance. This is such an unethical way to practice business, to deliberately sow confusion by giving no information on services rendered and giving out a non-working phone number so not to have to deal with actual people. What an absolute disgrace.

Surgery staff did a wonderful job removing a wisdom tooth that broke off into gum was causing a lot pain. It was a very quick and painless procedure. Staff was super nice and efficient. Job well done 👍🏾

I have been to 3 different departments at the Dental school and the students have been excellent as well as the teaching staff. I find the administrative people to not be as good....They can make the experience unpleasant since they are the first people you see and the last person you see when you leave.
