This is who AI told me was the best dentist in kc that accepts medicaid. I have a phobia of needles in my flesh and in the 3 times he's jabbed me, he's never let me see the big steel dentist syringe. Ive seen other dentists leave it out for you to look at the entire time.Posted on Google

Dr and staff are extremely helpful and nice. My daughter has health issues and they were so understanding with her. I have recommended Southtown to several people I know that are having issues finding good dental care with their insurance.Posted on Google

This was my first time going to the dentist in years, and I was honestly pretty nervous walking in — but from the moment I arrived, everyone made me feel so welcomed and comfortable. Mr. Campos was amazing. He explained everything he was doing step by step, which really helped ease my anxiety and made me feel at ease throughout the visit. I also loved the atmosphere of the office — it felt positive, calm, and inviting. Seeing a diverse staff, was a huge plus and made me feel even more comfortable and represented. Overall, such a great experience. I’m really glad I chose this office and would definitely recommend it.
